Give old glass ornaments a facelift. We created DIY decoupaged ornaments using repurposed gift-wrap and tissue paper.
DIY Decoupage Ornaments
These ornaments resemble the paper maché and cardboard ornaments that became popular when glass was scarce.
Materials
Directions
- Start by tearing narrow strips of wrapping and tissue paper. Torn edges blend most easily and make a smoother surface.
- Spread a thin layer of Mod Podge on the globe and attach a paper strip.
- Add another stripe of Mod Podge next to the paper strip being sure to overlap the paper you’ve applied. Continue until globe is completely covered.
- If your background paper is solid, you could add small pictures from greeting cards and vintage paper, as we have here.
- Allow to dry for several hours or overnight, and then add another layer of Mod Podge to seal the surface and add a gloss.
