How to #simpycreate Christmas ornaments
Materials
For this tutorial, you need:
- Simply mini stretched canvas
- Simply pallet
- Simply fine point brush
- 3 Simply tubes of acrylic paint (black, gold, red)
- Simply container with water and paper towels
- 1 roll of masking tape
OPTIONAL: 1 roll of string and 1 eyebolt to screw
Step 1
Making Santa's coat
Cut 2 pieces of masking tape and glue them crosswise as in the photo of the demonstration, with the offset cross down.
Step 2
Santa's coat
Then take the brush soaked in red paint and apply the paint to places without masking tape as in the photo opposite.
GOOD TO KNOW: Remove adhesive tapes before the paint is completely dry, then let dry after all tapes have been removed.
Step 3
Adding black details
Apply black paint over the entire horizontal strip. Leave to dry.
Step 4
Button and belt details
Using the photo opposite, add two black circles to form the buttons of the coat.
This time take gold paint and draw a square in the centre of the belt to form the belt. Let it dry, hey looks like Santa is coming!
Step 5
Decoration to hang
Once the paint is completely dry, it is possible to add a fixing system to hang everything.
Step 6
Result and inspiration
Take a small eyebolt to screw and push it into the edge of the mini canvas. The wood is soft, no need to use a specific tool, the fingers are enough.
All you must do is slip a nice string through the hole in the piton.
And there you have it, a new idea super easy to achieve, which will have the most beautiful effect once hung on the tree!
