What you do:
Clean ornaments first. Use glass cleaner or rubbing alcohol inside
and out, wipe with a paper towel to dry. Be sure the inside is dry if
you put paint in it.
You can pour paint inside and roll around to cover completely then
place open end in a paper cup to drip out excess paint.
Alternatively, you can sponge 2 or 3 coats of paint on the outside.
After features are painted on, these will need a coat of water based
varnish.
The caps can be painted if you like to match the ball. The paint on
this will not stick as well, so handle carefully. They do look better
painted! After the caps are replaced, tie a bow around just below the
cap using appropriate color of ribbon.
Cat - black ball: Cut larger ear from black felt and smaller piece
from orange felt.Glue orange pieces to black pieces. Use the black
dimensional paint for glue. Paint on eyes, mouth, nose, whiskers. Let
dry. You can add glow in the dark on eyes and teeth. Attach ears with
black dimensional paint. Let dry.
Spider - purple ball: (pictured above) Cut legs from shrink plastic.
Paint purple to match ball, 2 or 3 coats to cover. Use black
dimensional paint for mouth, nose and eyes. Fill eyes with glow in
the dark paint. Let dry. Use black dimensional paint to glue legs on.
Use masking tape to hold while drying.
