Time: 15 minutes + dry time
Materials: white ornaments, Montana GOLD Spray Paint, bamboo skewers, cup
I may have went a little holiday crazy last week and bought about 60 white ornaments. I know, it’s ridiculous, but I’m happy to say that for today and tomorrow I’ll be teaming up with Montana (you may remember them from this, this, and this project from a bit back) to show you how to decorate plain ornaments to make your tree pop! First up, easy color blocking you can do in about 15 minutes:
Montana will also be giving THREE readers all the paint supplies you’ll need to complete this and tomorrow’s project (6 cans of paint + 6 markers!), so keep reading to enter the giveaway below!
Take the caps off your ornaments and insert a bamboo skewer. This will help keep your hands free while you spray paint the bulbs one solid color all the way around. The GOLD colors are so rich and smooth that you don’t really have to worry about the colors bleeding or not showing up when layered.
Spin the bulb slowly as you paint. Instead of creating a harsh line with tape, I mimicked the technique from my 10 minute vase project and let the paint naturally speckle up the sides of the ornaments. You may want to wear gloves for this step because it will get on your hand!
Let dry, replace cap and hang on your tree!
They almost looks like candy, don’t you think? Now for the extra fun part– the Giveaway! Open from now until December 10th at 5:00pm PST. Open to US & Canada residents. You can enter multiple times, so be sure to come back tomorrow! Best of luck :)
These are so adorable Rachel! :) Well done!

Why thank you Monique!
I love the color combinations you chose! Great DIY!
Thanks Paige :)
Oh, my. So, so gorgeous!!
Oh yay! Glad you like them Mandy!
So so pretty!
Thanks Chelsea!!
oh I’d have to use pink pink, bermuda and sweet dream or valerie. they have so many beauiful colors!
I would use Raspberry and Bermuda!
Love these!
I’d go with a combo of Petrol and Malachite
looks like i could have a lot of fun with all that paint!! rusto coat and fern green
I’d love to paint something aqua and brimstone yellow!
I would like to use the colors Strawberry, Sky Blue and Silver Matte.
Words can’t quite describe how much I like this DIY. If I had my own little crafty tree, all of my ornaments would look like this.
I would use Goldchrome and Royal red, it’s perfect for the holidays.
Its so hard to only choose a few colors. I have never used a montana (esp the gold line) that wasn’t top notch. For this though, I would use stealth, blood orange, and poison.
So many to choose from, but any combination of the chrome effect colors would be fun.
What a fun idea, and I love the paint and markers! Thanks for a chance to win!
I like turquoise and red
I would like to use the colors Reed and Roof together.
I need to do this!! Great post!!
frozen strawberry and gold chrome for sure.
Fire red, acid green, and flame blue – these three colours combined can make a rainbow!
These are gorgeous! Bazooka Joe and Pool
I would use Malachite and dolphins!
I’d love the Frozen Strawberry, Goldenchrome combo!
