DIY Christmas Bauble Tutorial - How to dot paint a Christmas ball - Intermediate level project

Happy Holidays! In this video we'll dot a red Christmas bauble with a pearl white beaded lace pattern. These are classic, feminine, and delicate looking ornaments that will look great on any tree. It's an intermediate level project, but with the help of a strip of paper and a paint applicator bottle you can learn this technique and apply it to your work easily and effectively. I hope you enjoy this project!

Have you found that your hands get less shaky after painting for a few minutes? It’s weird that the act of painting can sometimes calm and focus your brain so much that your hands might stop shaking. It works for me.

Oh boy! What a treat I was not expecting! What perfect timing - I brought two giant glass balls (one red, one green) back from Georgia and this gives me motivation and inspiration! Does it have to be multi-surface paint? Or would acrylic work too?

@TheDottingCenter 3 жыл бұрын

I've found that regular acrylic paint doesn't work as well as multi-surface paint. It doesn't bond like it should. Some multi-surface paints need to be baked at a low temp to cure, but this FolkArt air dries and it's STUCK. Martha Stewart and Handmade Modern multi surface also work well without baking. I got some glass balls, too. I'll paint some to sell but not to hang! My kids are notorious ball smashers lol

I just purchased your dotting kit and am looking forward to a dotting adventure. I am not an artist so this will take a lot of practice.have you ever thought about adding a laminated sheet of different styles of lines, dots, commas, Curly ques, or other designs we could wipe off and use over and over again to practice on in your kit? That would be a great help to us newbies. Thank you

Thank you for the suggestion. I will get to work on that. A laminated practice sheet with different design elements would be super helpful for beginners! BTW - Thank you for purchasing my kit. I truly appreciate your support. 🥰

Rachel- love your tutorials. Would you mind addressing the use of alcohol and cleaning baubles.? I just created a mess as I wiped one oops smeared it, tried to wipe off , then used alcohol swab… 😞 it’s a goner! Left a haze I cannot remove. It’s a pewter colored glass bulb. Sooo I will remove what I’ve done and chalk it up to experience. Probably try to spray paint it as I’ve done with others. Oh well! Can’t wIt to see any new tutorials you might have!! ThNk you so much!

I find that the paint is easily scratched when painting a coat of background colour. I can’t find them in the colours I want so I have to. What would you suggest to use to help prevent this? I have tried sealant spray and spray varnish but they are tacky with these.

@TheDottingCenter Жыл бұрын

Use plastic baubles that already have the base color you need. Maybe that will help.

@maryalicejohnson8291 3 жыл бұрын

And can this be done with regular enamel paint?

@TheDottingCenter 3 жыл бұрын

I use FolkArt multi-surface acrylic paint because it's thicker and it bonds to glass and plastic better than regular acrylic paint. Enamel paint would work, but I'm not sure how it would react with the plastic bottles. You should probably use regular dotting tools with enamel paint.
