WOW! I had never seen this process before and I am totally awed! I can't wait to watch more and then baby step my way into a whole new craft.

[@TheDottingCenter]

It's a lot of fun! enjoy

[@cindyporter3969]

Such an amazing tutorial! Thank you for not putting in music with this video, it was perfect with just your voice

[@KimMcDonaldStudios]

"Of course I'm going to paint over it! That's what I do."....... I love that, and your project! Thumbs up!

[@TheDottingCenter]

😂 Right?! Nothing is safe around either one of us - it will either get paint or resin on it 🤪

[@bethhughes430]

I've been making the better with the minwax for a couple of years, but the way you mixed the glitters and did hombre shades, etc is gorgeous. I just love the addition of the swirls and dots it takes them from being beautiful to incredibly high-end, gorgeous ornaments anyone would love to have. I can't wait to try these!

[@TheDottingCenter]

These are too fun to make! Enjoy : )

[@LovinLife-pv7op]

Love that you put the glitter on the inside of the ornament!

[@TheDottingCenter]

No mess!! Right? Thanks for watching 😊

[@juneribbons5196]

These are awesome. At first glance I thought that they would be to hard for me, but they were much easier than I expected. Actually rather simple.

[@sharijames6287]

[@TheDottingCenter]

Have fun!

[@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208]

I've watched a lot of artist take a beautiful colored bottle an cover it with black and then gold or silver. When I thought the white on a beautiful blue bottle was just gorgeous 💙. Then was let down when they painted it all black. This is what I just love!! Letting the beauty come through and adding the designs to make them even more beautiful. Awesome!! Thank you for sharing your Art ♥️🤗🤟

I love these ornaments. I want to try this project. Stepping out of your comfort isn't all that bad. I'm not much of a painter. You'd be surprised how much you possess when you try something new. Great job.

[@TheDottingCenter]

Dotting isn’t like traditional painting where you need to have super specialized knowledge of a million things. I believe anyone can dot paint. I know you’ll love it 😊

[@suebrown7882]

Beautiful ornaments! You make it look so easy! I am inspired to try it to make customised gift baubles. Thanks for sharing your skills x

These are so beautiful! Definitely a project for next year. I never knew Arteza made glitter! I just bought a set of Arteza 60 acrylic paints and love them! You're right about the boxes they come in being good storage. I think on my list of purchases for the new year will be Arteza glitter and a paint application kit from The Dotting Center. Love your videos- Merry Christmas!

[@TheDottingCenter]

That Arteza set of 60 paints is so decadent isn’t it? It’s my only full set of paints and I love how thick and shiny the paint is! Happy Holidays! 🎄

Girl you are a girl after my own heart I hate when glitter gets all over the place. You find glitter even after winter has long gone. Can't wait to try this method. You rock.

[@LisaSare]

These are absolutely beautiful. I have not really been interested in mandala and thought that was all the dotting kind of art was for. you show how it can be used in all kinds of other ways. I am totally gonna get some stuff and try this! Thank you for showing me another creative outlet that I think i will like. Currently I do quilling. I've been doing that for 5 months and I even thought of ways to mix quilling with some dotting in the same art piece. Thanks again for sharing this!

[@TheDottingCenter]

I’ve always wanted to try quilling! I’ve done something similar as a craft with my kids but it would be fun to do the real thing. Dotting and quilling could get together and make art babies don’t you think? Dot quilling? Please figure it out and let me know! ❤️

[@cindybarker2774]

Ok, I see that this is old, but it is my FAVORITE video but, Rachel, please, this artform is not nearly as easy as you make it seem. But I'll keep at it and see if I can do anything that looks like an adult created it. Have a slew of clear ornaments I wanted to do, but I'm a little too embarrassed at my lack of finesse so far. Need a miracle. Dotting Prayers Welcome!! 😂

[@TheDottingCenter]

😂 I’m so glad you like this one! I get it when you say it’s not as easy as it seems. I’d been painting with bottles for a few years when I did that video. It gets easier with practice I promise! 💕

[@lindamurray5503]

I love this idea 💡, I have made ornaments in the past, but not as easy as these. Thanks for sharing your great ideas!

Love these. I too have a love/ hate relationship with glitter. Love the look and sparkle but know it is bad for the environment and people. At least this project, the glitter is encapsulated. Just wear a mask...best of both worlds.
