Remove the top of the ornament and set aside. I spray painted these gold, but ended up not using them. It’s probably a good idea to save the tops in case you want to use these ornaments for another project.
Using your Martha Stewart Crafts™ Satin Paint squirt a good amount of paint in the bottom of the ornament. Shake and swirl the paint around. I was going for a very uneven look. You could add more paint if you wanted to cover the entire ornament.
Apply glue to the bottom. I first tried Mod Podge and it did work, but it took too long to dry. If you know me, you know I am not patient. I quickly switched to Zip Dry Paper Glue. It was easy to use and dried a lot faster. Brush glue where you want the Gold Foil Leaf Sheets to adhere.
Apply one of your Gold Foil Leaf Sheets. Gently press down the Gold Foil Leaf Sheets onto the ornament. I carefully removed the excess pieces and saved them for the other ornaments.
Wait until the glue has dried and then take a clean paint brush and carefully brush off the excess Gold Foil Leaf Sheets. Just make sure you are gentle. If you brush off something that you shouldn’t have, you can go back to step 3 and repeat the process.
Place the ornaments in the gold votive candle holders and voila! Make sure you check out the Braided Bracelet DIY, S’mores waffle recipe and the full Brunch with the Bride post. Styling and Design by Jessica Wilcox of Modern Moments Designs.
