So let's make these amazing marbled wood slice ornaments!
You will need:
Twine to tie them off
Small disposable cups
Disposable work surface
Optional:
Gold Brush Lettering Paint/paintbrush
This paint is specially formulated so it doesn't blend together...and turn to brown mud. The colors all stay separate and bright.
Begin by setting up the work station. Place a piece of cardboard box under some little cups. Set the wood slices on top of the cups.
Use one little cup and squeeze paint into the cup, layered like a bullseye.
Then simply pour out the paint right onto the wood slices. No need to mix a thing!
The paint is pretty thick, so just pour out a line or few blobs of paint on each wood slice.
Then tip and tilt the wood slice to let the paint run all over it to showcase the amazing colors.
Then let them sit on the cups to dry completely. At this point, you'll be looking around the house for anything and everything that you can marble!
I love the classic black and white marbling!
Once they are dry, they are ready to string with twine to hang on a tree, tie to a gift or use as coasters.
Now you can do some optional decorating.
Option #1:
Heat up that wood burner and add a custom name or word.
Joy just fit perfectly on this wood slice.
Option #2:
Use the Brush Lettering Paint in Gold and a fine paint brush to add a letter, name or phrase in brush calligraphy.
Just a simple monogram or initial is perfect.
I love the shiny gold!
Hang them on a tree, tie them to a gift like the most amazing gift tag...
Which do you like best? The wood burned, just the marbling or the gold monograms?
