I love them, they're all gorgeous. I have a question, I'm sure it's a dumb question but I'm going to ask anyway. Can I add mica powder to white paint or black paint? If I can what kind of paint should I use? instead of buying so many different colors of paint. Thank you

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

Hi Pam! You can, but it won’t make a lot of difference. Mica is dependent on light for its shine - so if it’s mixed with paint, that paint is going to hinder a lot of the light from reflecting off the mica.

Hello. Im new to your channel. I love these ornaments. Almost all of the ornaments on my tree are hand-made by me, so when I saw these, I had to watch how you made them. Can I use plastic instead of glass ornaments ?

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

Hi June, welcome to my channel!! Yes ma’am, you can use plastic if you prefer. I just like the feel and the weight of the glass ornaments.

@BrittClaytonDesign Yes, the glass ones are heavier, but have gotten broken, even when I believed they were packed well.

[@laurashippee1107]

These are beautiful. When you taped the 1st completed side, how long did you allow it to dry? I’d be afraid to pull off the paint when pulling off the tape.

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

I let them dry about 24 hours. You’re using bloom recipe paint, which is enamel, so it dries very quickly and it’s pretty tough.

[@sissymcreynolds8426]

What is the bloom recipe..?please

[@sissymcreynolds8426]

They are beautiful 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄

[@diannedeloose5173]

Did I miss something? Does the paint seep under the tape or did you place the tape over dry painted side before doing side 2? Love it!

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

I painted one side at a time. Waited until the first side was dry, removed the tape, then taped off the painted side and poured the other side of the ornament.

Wow! Your ornaments are really outstanding and your video is so complete. I’m blown away on so many levels. Thank you for this video!! I have one question- it seemed that you taped the painted side 24 hours after painting it. Did I get that correctly?

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

Thank you Val! Yes, I taped them off 24 hours later. This is enamel paint and it’s on glass so drying time is phenomenal.

[@lolagazebo5632]

I've just found these beauties. Thank you for sharing! I don't know if you have time to answer a question, but just in case: how long do you wait for the paints to dry on one side before being able to tape over it and paint the other side, please? Thank you!!! Susan H.

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

Hi Susan, thank you so much! In answer to your question: because I’m using housepaint for these (the bloom technique), I do one side one day, and the next day I do the other side. The enamel dries really fast so I can get them all done in a weekend.

[@scottcoffelt1450]

Love these! May be a dumb question but do you simply just let the paint slide off and not tilt or spin? Thank you!

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

That is correct. You let gravity do the work for you. These are way too small to spin. The weight of the paint spreads the bloom out.

[@scottcoffelt1450]

@@BrittClaytonDesign thanks so much!

[@MixedMediaCraftsbyDiane]

Those are gorgeous Britt! Is the varnish a strong enough finish to protect them from scratches or peeling?

Can you tell us how you got the tape off and show the back of the ornaments when finished, I just found your channel and would love to make some

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

Hi Beth! The tape just peels off. Do it very slowly along the tape line and it’ll come right off. Both sides of the ornament are bloomed on, so they look the same on both sides.

[@roxihardegreeart]

Why do you have to torch it? Gorgeous by the way.

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

@@roxihardegreeart - I’m thinking you’re asking about the torching after varnish them? The varnish is a very thin consistency and the friction created by brushing it on causes air bubbles. You want to definitely pop them before they dry as they can be very noticeable.

[@kathyziegenmier4009]

Thx for this Britta. I wonder how Polypour or Vivid Enamel would work instead of varnish? I have several bottles on hand. You were able to tape off the painted side after 24 hours? I’m surprised it wouldn’t pull the paint off when removed.

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

The thing with the Prizm Pour is that you don’t have to mix them with anything. I probably should’ve used them straight out of the bottle and kept the consistency super thick.

[@leaettabrooks4349]

When you say 3.5p of the floetrol what does the p stand for? And do you have a link for floetrol? I’ve heard many say they use the Australian and that some of the others are the wrong kind and won’t work…I don’t know what the difference is when looking it up

[@BrittClaytonDesign]

Hey Bonnie! The p stands for part. Your basis for measuring is usually the amount of paint you use. So if you use an ounce of paint, that would mark your ONE part. I used 3.5 parts of Aussie Floetrol, which would be 3.5 ounces. You can find Australian Floetrol at www.Fluid-Art.co. Go to their website and look at the photo of it. Then look up Flood Floetrol on Home Depot’s website. You’ll see the difference in the bottles.

You mention the cell activator. Is that the black drop that you added or was that paint? How important is it to have a heat torch?

Just paint pours in general. I’ve only watched and see the drips. Maybe pour higher over another pour.

[@coloredcowhorse]

I use for "skins" on back of clear glass cabs for pendants, earrings, foals for browbands on beaded horse tack, even for hour markers on clock faces.

[@ilovehostas3594]

I’m guessing blowing through a straw so you can aim it how you like it at least that’s what I think I would do beautiful ornaments

These are actually mouth-blown. A straw wouldn’t give the air coverage needed to blow out the cell activator.
