Sparkly Watercolor Christmas Ornaments

I made some super fun Christmas ornaments using black watercolor paper and interference watercolors.

These are super easy to make:

STEP ONE: Cut 3-5 identical symmetrical shapes, like a circle.

You'll note that my circles have a perforation down the middle, but they don't have to.

STEP TWO: Color the shapes with sparkly watercolors.

STEP THREE: After they've dried, fold the shapes in half.

STEP FOUR: Glue the shapes back-to-back (unpainted side) to each other and put a string through the middle before you glue the last piece in.

You can add a tassel or some beads to the bottom of the ornament if you want.

How easy is that?!  I hope you'll give this project a try!
