Marbling paint ornaments give your tree a wonderful arty feel and make for great conversation starters. When drying, sit them spout down for all excess paint to drip out.

An important thing to note, opt for at most three colors maximum. Otherwise, your ornaments can start looking muddy.

The key to the snowflakes looking good–is lightweight material for the flakes (tissue paper, napkins, etc.), mylar balloons, and this spray adhesive.

Opt for fun patterns, or stick with classic holiday colors. Either way, the snowflakes always really pop against the balloon.

30. Metal Washers Christmas Ornaments

A perfect ornament for those hands-on people in your life! Most sized washers will do, but be careful to stay manageable (otherwise, it may not be able to stay on the tree).

Any festive rope or twine will do–again, dependent on the size and weight of your washers. A little hot glue to secure the lifespan of this cool ornament.

31. Painted Driftwood Christmas Village
