I think the middle one was awesome. The open spaces brought out an uniqueness about it. The first one had such pretty marble swirls to it and great colors. The third one looked like the sea. They all looked absolutely beautiful after the varnish sprayed on them. It gave them such a pretty glossy finish. I comment you on volunteering your time, Finances, and skills at schools to teach and share art and love with children. Not many schools have people to come in and do this now days. There was several in my childhood who did things of this nature in church and school, but now days it does not happen. There are too many single Mothers and mothers who have to work to make ends meet. God Bless Everyone
I've been doing this for decades! I get the paint at craft stores with 50% off coupons, ornaments too! I did almost 100 one year for my husband to give to the people he works with! They loved them & ask me to make them for other occasions! Wedding ornaments come out really nice!!
I do a lot of pouring over glass, and found that either pre painting with a solid color before doing the pour, or prepping the glass with a wash of water and a paint conditioner (liqidtex, floetrol, zinsser, etc) helps let the paint cover the glass better. Love the bobbles :)
Not sure how or why your video showed up but I am very grateful. Just today I was trying to make painted ornaments without success. Everything you talked about in the beginning was happening. I was going to toss them but now I can paint the outside and not waste anything but the paint that I used. Thank you
My daughter and I did these years ago, but we put the paint on the inside and swirled it around. Came out beautiful. Put a few dozen of them on the tree every year.
Before I ever heard of acrylic pouring (about 13 years ago), I made ornaments using regular metallic craft paints - not mixed with anything - and just poured some good squirts into the ornament. I would just swirl it in til it was totally covered and put them upside down in an egg carton. I’m still using them...usually 2-3 colors. This method is much easier, and will do some this year with the grandkids. Thank you!! 🎄 ornaments. P. S. I meant your method is easier!😊
I've been making these for years. Started.by painting the inside and they always took forever to dry but I have since done it like this and they always turn out beautiful. Enjoyed the video thank you as always MMG!
OMG this is exactly what I have been looking for. I want marble looking baubles and did not know how to go about this, now I know! Love the look of three baubles.
One suggestion I would make is to put some freezer or parchment paper over your foam. That way you can keep it cleaner and then you can peal off the paint for skins when dried.
I tried to paint a vase once by pouring on it using floetrol, water and acrylic paint and all the colors mixed together and it basically turned one color. I’m amazed with how marbled yours turned out.
Love them all & will be doing my own this year!! My favourite is that clean pour, I love the definition of colour & the fact that it left those spots it hadn’t covered! Imagine it with a little light! Xx
I watched you video then went and tried it your way with the cup pour only with the greens, browns and a little yellow. I was going for the camouflage effect. They came out perfect. My husband loves them. Now thanks to him and his mouth ( lol ) I'm having to do some for the tree at his hunting club.
Did mine with craft paint, didn't have a problem doing the inside. Frist I did a light coat, let it drip out, let it set almost a hour. Put plastic over what was left in cup; used what was left in the cup for second coat. Also, didn't use anything but craft paint. Turned out great!
These are big sellers, I sold nearly 200 of these last year with the paint outside of all sizes. I’ve used artist loft flow acrylic, craft paint, liquitex, and several all kinds mixed with floetrel and a dab of pouring medium ... are very popular and look beautiful on the Christmas tree!
Love this idea! For the clean pour, at first I was like, “meh, idk about this one, because of the coverage”, and then when you showed it, I liked it the best!!! I love the teardrop shaped openings because you could see through it to the colors inside!! That turned out fabulous! I definitely think the better quality paint made a prettier bulb in terms of the crispness of the lines. That’s why I’ll be using MMG paints! 😊💜 Thx for the wonderful idea!
Great minds think alike! Lol! I paint poured christmas bulbs last year the same exact way! Rectangle styrofoam I found around the house and popsicle sticks! Looked just like yours and I thought it worked perfectly! Your bulbs look very nice!
Nice! I definitely want to try and make these. I kind of like the gaps the drips created on the clean pour. You could try adding glitter on the inside of the ornament so it would poke through those gaps. That could look neat.
They're SO pretty!! Now I have to go buy a bunch more. I always grab a lot of these clear ones around this time of year. Living at the beach, and, my children find a ton of the tiniest shells, we put sand and shells in ours and sell them periodically. But, NOW...I have other reason to have them. What better pre Christmas gift to give than something that can be used for Christmas!? Thank you Marcy!!! 💜💕💞
First of all......using popsicle sticks prevents the balls from tilting to one side. Brilliant idea! Secondly, based on the size of the puddles on the styrofoam I think you used less paint with the clean pour, and I loved the little areas that stayed unpainted. 🙂
They turned out great! I’m so glad you did this because I was just thinking the other day that I wondered how pouring on the outside of the ball would be!
Yes this was a very good video. I liked the clean pour but after you put the sealer on I think I liked the craft paint one the best. Thank you for the video.
Oh wow! These all turned out awesome! Ar first I wasn't so sure about the middle one. But it's gorgeous! Now I have to hoard plastic ornaments and try it myself.😅
You're right about that clean pour one, that one turned out super awesome. They are all beautiful. I realize that my paint did not dry on the inside because there was no air getting in to the bulb. LOL I put one in the hole of my drying rack and it dried really good. And I found that the craft smart works a lot better if it is much thicker. But the artist Loft and my liquitex Basics works the best. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
I found when I did the inside for whatever reason some of them never did dry or if they did.... Possibly melted as I have a wood stove and it gets a little to hot in me store room. I love the look and will try the outside pour. I make jewelry too and have been making a little bling to go over the balls.
Hey, I might try this. I have balls that the silk wrappings are getting stringy, and smooth balls that have faded over the years. I also have a box of kids craft paint going unused. Instead of buying new, I think I will freshen up my old balls this way with the poured paint. Thanks for the fun idea. :)
Oh I love this idea! I was wondering what would be the best way to make some bulbs to match my new decor colors and it looks like I just found it. I'm thrilled! Thank you so much for sharing this.
I love this! Thinking of making Christmas bulbs w my new acrylic paints for my mom fir her bday 😀this was fun to watch.. you processed each step throughly.. love how beautiful yours turned out!! ❤
Omg thank you for this video! I have some of these ornaments that i bought last year also when they were on sale....i think i got each pack for $5 😊 i was gonna incorporate them in my wedding in July but never wound up using them so now they’re in storage til Christmas n i had no idea what i was going to do with them!! 😂 GREAT IDEA!! I’m gonna have to give this a try....thank you so much!!! 💜 ❤️
You can do something similar with a lot less mess and paint if you use just straight craft paint (any type) and drip small amounts inside the ornament (maybe 3 or 4 colors, and I like 1 being a metallic), kind of dividing up the inside of the ornament with the colors. Then just put the ornament on the open end of a plastic cup and rotate it around every couple of hours to cover the insides and swirl the paint as much as you desire. Them when all of the swirling is done, just flip the ornament so that the opening is at the bottom and drain out the rest of the paint. By now it has dried enough and doesn’t all drain out. No need to varnish and I have had some of these for 20 years and they still look great!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing! I love all three. I attempted to make these and poured the paint inside, shook one and twirled a few and put in cups to dry, they care out good, but I will try your method (l ❤️ your method)
I made some with the paint on the inside. I forgot to use a floor cleaner 1st and the paintvdidnt adhere well. I want try a pour too. I love the marbled effects you got with this method
WOW, WOW, WOW! Absolutely LOVE those. I agree with you that the Artist Loft paint looks more vibrant. I love the idea of painting on the outside of the bulbs. Thank you for sharing this. Habe a great day. ❤
The second one you did was absolutely beautiful girl!! Far and away the most original/coolest ornament I've ever seen and it was so effortless for you! Had I been out shopping and come across it I would have been at the register to buy it in no time flat ☺ Thanks for sharing. I'm truly inspired!!

Thanks for your advice. Merry Christmas 2021,

I was going to toss them but now I can paint the outside and not waste anything but the paint that I used. Thank you
We did these in-side the ball years and years ago.. I am talking like 23-25 years ago they worked out perfect, and still is glorious.
My daughter and I did these years ago, but we put the paint on the inside and swirled it around. Came out beautiful. Put a few dozen of them on the tree every year.
I love watching the transformation of the colors
The clean pour in the middle was my favourite. They're beautiful thank you for sharing!

I made these about 20 years ago. I used craft acrylic paints on the inside. Worked a treat. We are still using them.
I love the colors on the pink one you used an example, pretty, pretty, PRETTY!!!
I absolutley LOVE the centre one!!
I like how the second one turned out. Great idea.
How cleaver. I never would have thought of doing clean and dirty pours. 👩🏼🎨🎨
Oh my that clean pour is so awesome
I’ve already started dot mandala ornaments and now I’m kicking myself because these are GORGEOUS
I bet you could do a pour and then add some dots to them after they are dried.
I personally liked the one you called the clean pour. Great ideas....thanks a bunch.
I've been making these for years. Started.by painting the inside and they always took forever to dry but I have since done it like this and they always turn out beautiful.
Enjoyed the video thank you as always MMG!
Yes it's beautiful

when the glass has bare spots, I use an eye dropper and squeeze out paint on the spots that need to be filled in! It works great!
I take floor wax and coat the inside with glitter!
I love these!!! I love how the one had the clear spots!!
Love these! I think the middle one is my favorite!
Wow the middle one is fab!
I tried to paint a vase once by pouring on it using floetrol, water and acrylic paint and all the colors mixed together and it basically turned one color. I’m amazed with how marbled yours turned out.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! I finally was able to get paint to stick!!! Made a dozen last night. Just have to clear coat them!
Dang, I'm sure glad I found your channel. Your art is amazing!
what an Amazing craft project .... they looked fab
Love them all & will be doing my own this year!! My favourite is that clean pour, I love the definition of colour & the fact that it left those spots it hadn’t covered! Imagine it with a little light! Xx
Yes, they would look magical on the tree with tree lights shining through.
I watched you video then went and tried it your way with the cup pour only with the greens, browns and a little yellow. I was going for the camouflage effect. They came out perfect. My husband loves them. Now thanks to him and his mouth ( lol ) I'm having to do some for the tree at his hunting club.

I adore the clean poor one , the spaces where the paint didn't run look perfect .
I love these! Doing the insides were a bust a few days ago. So I am glad I saw your video!! Thank you!!!
I did for xmas last year, as gifts for co-workers. They turned out good, but yours are better!
These are big sellers, I sold nearly 200 of these last year with the paint outside of all sizes. I’ve used artist loft flow acrylic, craft paint, liquitex, and several all kinds mixed with floetrel and a dab of pouring medium ... are very popular and look beautiful on the Christmas tree!

An inside pour works super with clue, thank's for the inspiration 😊
Dirty pour wins!!! Love this!
Such an awesome idea. I would just need to use a little less paint. Maybe add some glitter paint too. How neat!
This is a great idea. I have already painted 4,but am not crazy about them. I love your idea.
Nice! I definitely want to try and make these. I kind of like the gaps the drips created on the clean pour. You could try adding glitter on the inside of the ornament so it would poke through those gaps. That could look neat.
I really like the gaps in the middle one. Going to do a ton of these for my daughter’s dance team girls!
Wow, I LOVE the way the clean pour turned out!
Sooo cool...I love the clean drip (middle one)...gotta get some more paint!!!!!
The middle one came out sooo pretty. I would love to try this with my sister's family and her kids. We love doing holiday arts and crafts together.
I like the one that didnt get paint all over looks so cool with the openings
They're SO pretty!! Now I have to go buy a bunch more. I always grab a lot of these clear ones around this time of year. Living at the beach, and, my children find a ton of the tiniest shells, we put sand and shells in ours and sell them periodically. But, NOW...I have other reason to have them. What better pre Christmas gift to give than something that can be used for Christmas!? Thank you Marcy!!! 💜💕💞
That is a great idea about the shells.
Wow, these all look amazing. What a great idea. Thank you.
Thank you! I love Christmas and all the decorations!! ♡♡
First of all......using popsicle sticks prevents the balls from tilting to one side. Brilliant idea!
Secondly, based on the size of the puddles on the styrofoam I think you used less paint with the clean pour, and I loved the little areas that stayed unpainted. 🙂
Very Beautiful ornaments 💞 that pink & brown one is so GORGEOUS 💞💞 I'm gonna try this 🎄
They turned out great! I’m so glad you did this because I was just thinking the other day that I wondered how pouring on the outside of the ball would be!
Yes this was a very good video. I liked the clean pour but after you put the sealer on I think I liked the craft paint one the best. Thank you for the video.
You make it look so easy.
I've had a lot of practice :)
Oh wow! These all turned out awesome!
Ar first I wasn't so sure about the middle one. But it's gorgeous!
Now I have to hoard plastic ornaments and try it myself.😅
Yes it's awesome!
I love love love the middle one! Well done!
I love this!! I have been using India ink on the inside which is great,, but I love this technique too! Thanks for sharing. 👍👍
Do you need to prep the inside with polycyclic before using the india ink?
I just realized I TYPO’d that. I meant to say I use ALCOHOL ink. Yes I also use an Alcohol blending solution.
You're right about that clean pour one, that one turned out super awesome. They are all beautiful. I realize that my paint did not dry on the inside because there was no air getting in to the bulb.

I can't wait to try this with my kids. Thank you for this great idea
Hey, I might try this. I have balls that the silk wrappings are getting stringy, and smooth balls that have faded over the years. I also have a box of kids craft paint going unused. Instead of buying new, I think I will freshen up my old balls this way with the poured paint. Thanks for the fun idea. :)
Giggles...old balls, smooth balls, balls wrapped in silk that are faded. Refreshing your balls sound like a great idea.
Lol!!!!!!
@@shirleygale657 ....You know.... now that you mention it..... (sidelong glance towards my husband)
LOVE how the third one turned out 😍
That is an amazing idea! They look gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
these came out so pretty, can't decide which I like best, nice color combinations !
Your clean pour kicks a**!!!!!!
LOVE the clean pour!!!!!
Oh I love this idea! I was wondering what would be the best way to make some bulbs to match my new decor colors and it looks like I just found it. I'm thrilled! Thank you so much for sharing this.
Thank you for your tutorials :)
I tried the ornaments and the canvas tonight LOVE LOVE LOVE
Love this idea! Next time you should try it over a canvas, somehow, to catch the drippings!! Would make an interesting painting!
They came out awesome. Something different for gift giving. Blessings Shirlene
Ah I love this!!! So pretty!
We made. Some. 2. Years. Ago. . Am. Going to. Make. Some. More. Loved. The. Different. Designs. We made
I love this! Thinking of making Christmas bulbs w my new acrylic paints for my mom fir her bday 😀this was fun to watch.. you processed each step throughly.. love how beautiful yours turned out!! ❤
Omg they're gorgeous 😮😍
Omg thank you for this video! I have some of these ornaments that i bought last year also when they were on sale....i think i got each pack for $5 😊 i was gonna incorporate them in my wedding in July but never wound up using them so now they’re in storage til Christmas n i had no idea what i was going to do with them!! 😂 GREAT IDEA!! I’m gonna have to give this a try....thank you so much!!! 💜 ❤️
I love these, especially the middle one. Gonna have a go!
OK, this looks great!
I love this craft! You might can spray paint the ornament all white before doing the clean pours. Just a suggestion.
Great idea :)
Wow! Love this❤❤❤

Very awesome idea love them!!
Very cool. This just might be my next project. Thanks for sharing.
So awesome, thank you, my great grand girls will love this❤️❤️❤️
Omg! Beautiful
the pink one was gorgeous.
Wonderful to see how you pour the pain on the the outside ...love it , I have the x balls so newton get the paints...thankyou
Awesome! Thank you for sharing! I love all three. I attempted to make these and poured the paint inside, shook one and twirled a few and put in cups to dry, they care out good, but I will try your method (l ❤️ your method)
Awesome!! I was kicking this idea around and now I have to try it!! Love the popsicle sticks in foam trick, that was one thing I was struggling with!!
Have you thought of putting a bit of gloss glaze in each paint to get the shine?
These are beautiful! Thanks for sharing!
Pouring on stuff is really fun. Have watched all your vase videos. Have done several, but soak it off again as I don’t like them.
I made some with the paint on the inside. I forgot to use a floor cleaner 1st and the paintvdidnt adhere well. I want try a pour too. I love the marbled effects you got with this method
WOW, WOW, WOW! Absolutely LOVE those. I agree with you that the Artist Loft paint looks more vibrant. I love the idea of painting on the outside of the bulbs. Thank you for sharing this. Habe a great day. ❤
yes LOVE !!
Wow !! Beautiful . Thank you for sharing ❤️

Great 💡 I just did a couple inside my ornament for the first time 🤣
I adore this!! Gorgeous💖
Thanks Marcy. I made some ornaments last year and ended up throwing them away. I’ll try your technique!! 😁
Thank you for this. Clean pour was my favorite.
Another super îdea ! I must stopped working to try all I learn with you ! 😁
