Hey lovelies, I have had a lot of requests for a tutorial on how to make these half-glittered, floating ornaments; so in this video, I will show you how I create them. All materials I used are linked down below.
In this video I also address one of the most frequently asked questions regarding the ornament insert template available in my Etsy and Shopify stores, and will also show you how you can use the template to make your own custom floating ornaments using the template and your own photos.
I also wanted to remind you of my Facebook Group, Lovely Creations. In the group you will be notified when I release new listings, new tutorials, when I have sales, and will have access to a discount code for my Etsy shop which is exclusive to group members.

Very nicely done comparison so that people can choose what paints they want to use. I am like you on the second one where there was gaps in the paint… I thought that was very cool. Every year I make about 40 ornaments for the grandchildren and great grandchildren in my family and I’m always looking for new ideas. My only problem with this particular project is there’s a lot of waste and paint… It’s too bad you can’t find a way of scraping up the runoff and reusing it

@LovelyLouLouDesigns Жыл бұрын

I agree about the waste. I have had the ornaments drip back into the squeeze bottles before. But that means I can't do as many at once. If I'm only doing one or two that is how I do it though. :)

@LovelyLouLouDesigns 6 ай бұрын

I think it would be possible though difficult. I would start with the bottom glitter colour and pour it inside on the side without the sealer, then move it around the bottom half only and dump the excess from the side that doesn't have the sealer again. Then you can add your secondary colour. It would probably be easier to do the double glitter colour on the outside and seal it with an epoxy but if you aren't set up for that, it would be a pain.

@@antoniettabertino8509 no. Use the Polycrylic. Just make sure it's a thin coat. What I'm saying is the only time I've had that happen is when I've used paint which is much thicker. So my best guess is you aren't draining enough and it's too thick. Use the Polycrylic, make sure it's only a thin coat and you drain well enough before adding the glitter. I've never had this happen with Polycrylic so that's my best guess.

Would love some of these but 100 is far too many for us small crafters

You can find suppliers who sell fewer blanks at a time. I bought in bulk because at the time was making about 100 a season. I don't do that anymore since I've slowed that end of my business down.

Have you tried Dollar Tree?

@LovelyLouLouDesigns Жыл бұрын

For the ornaments? I have. I find my timing isn't great though and they get picked clean pretty quickly. Hoping to find someone who keeps regular stock so I can order blanks even later in the season if larger orders come in. Thanks for the suggestion!

Nice. But I'm poor and don't have the:$$$ for a Cricut and the rest of the stuff.

If you fill or outline the shape, you can hand cut if you're careful. There are free software programs like Inkscape where you can design.

I just posted a tutorial on how to print and cut the inserts without a cutting machine or paid design software.

I'm confused by your comment about printing on polyester acetate. Number one I followed your link and it doesn't say polyester anywhere. #2. I found this video searching for instructions for sublimating on polyester film. I guess this is not it. Your just printing regular ink onto acetate that does not need to be polyester, correct?

@LovelyLouLouDesigns 7 ай бұрын

Correct, this is not a sublimation tutorial. I am using a laser printer with a plastic transparency film for laser printers. Inkjet transparency film would be use for an inkjet printer.
