the crafty beast: paint swirl ornaments

this was such a fun, easy project to do with the wild man... kept his attention and will make great gifts for the grandparents!
 
the ornaments are $0.99each at michaels {don't worry, they are plastic ;)}, and at the time i bought them they were an additional 50% off... i used paint i already had so this project was next to nothing!
 
...mix a little bit of water with the paint {makes it easier to swirl inside the ornament}
...pour desired amount of each color into each ornament
...cover the open tops with tape
...and let them have fun!
 
 ... a little unsure of it at first
... one thing i wish i had done was add a marble to each of the ornaments for sound to make them even more entertaining

 

... let dry upside down {to let the extra paint drip} over night
 
... once dry i added his initials and the year
