My Top Seller at Art and Craft Shows! I Sell Out of These Paint Poured Christmas Ornaments

[@riosoma]

Finally a true artist at work! I love that you show the messy bottles and not brand new perfectly clean work surfaces which are not realistic. Even the headache and frustrations of plugged up squirt bottles

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you very much! What you see in my videos is real life for sure! warts and all.

[@brendam.6897]

I love your style, technique and honesty! You’re the real deal! A true artisan! Keep up the brilliant and beautiful work! God bless! ❤🙏🇺🇸

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you so much!

[@marthatierney2632]

I love your attitude of exploration and your appreciation of natural beauty. I really appreciate your teachings 😊

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Aw, thanks so much! That means a lot to me!

[@TexasMonica]

Iv done this before and I used alcohol inks and it came out so pretty...also metallic paint's are very pretty...you can use glitter's as well...They make such pretty Christmas Ornaments...It a nice gift to give someone. You did a beautiful job on yours 🙂👍❤️

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

thank you!

[@KcPenguins]

You are an awesome teacher, great fun project, I am using this idea on wooden ball beads, so far so good. 🎄NH crafter 👍

I'm glad you like them!

[@SherryHill-k5y]

These are beautiful!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@jeanneh.parent3847]

Honestly I real like your jit. It could be a part of your creations. I also like the mermaid trash it just fits and a lot of your work wouldn’t be complete without it you know what I mean. 🥰🤗

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thanks so much!

[@edgar-j6h]

suggestion....find a big box, turn over so sealed bottom is right side up. poke holes every 4 -5" apart, put in a chopstick in each one, remove the cap of each bulb, as you paint the bulbs replace it - hole down- on to the chop stick. the paint will drip towards the hole and down the stick....no mess, let dry thoroughly. just scrape the hole area clear of any excess paint and replace the cap. ready for selling. do not use mod podge to seal it. mod podge will become sticky over time and you'll end up throwing it out.....not sure why there are lines through my blurb. please read though the lines to make better sense. I also use to put thumb tacks into a tight triangle through a cardboard sheet or box. turn the sheet over and place bulbs or easter eggs onto the points. drip on paint, let dry and voila. minimal marks.

[@deenaminyard3788]

I've thought about using some adhesive spray and glitter on the inside of the ornament that is complementary to the paint colors. That way, if I have spots that the paint didn't reach it still looks finished.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

That is a brilliant idea! I'll have to give that a try!

[@NinaHansen2008]

Thank you, Ms. Magnolia! An idea for next time? What if you used a spray adhesive on the inside and then tossed in some beach sand and shook it around to coat the interior. Then, empty spaces in your pour would have a sandy background. Just a thought.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Great idea!

[@kimberlyleon2147]

I can’t wait to try this. Looks so funny ❤❤ Great video

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Have fun!

[@windyvful]

Simply beautiful! Have you thought about inverting them on a dowel stuck in styrofoam? That way no sides touch at the bottom.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

The bottom is suspended on small nails, so they barely touch.

[@deborahbrown555]

Very pretty!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you! 😊

Thank you so much!!

[@shopwithebonylove]

Now I see you adding the mermaid 🧜‍♀️ trash. Extra work and extra material and I’m REALLY not happy about that $5 price! You can’t even buy a venti Frappuccino for that price ma’am. Believe me, people WILL pay more. No wonder you sell out. They are beautiful, one of a kind , well made baubles at clearance prices! 😉💰💰💰💰💰

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you! I appreciate that.

[@healthywithhope]

How do you make the mermaid trash? Thanks for making these videos, your art is beautiful!!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Thank you! I did a short video on how I made it.

[@deenaminyard3788]

Love your work station with the nails that hold the ornaments up! Do you put aluminum foil on the top to keep it somewhat clean?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

nope, it catches the drips!

[@jennygreco3631]

Can I suggest you get some styrofoam and skewers . Stick skewer in foam and then put ornaments in skewer to let paint drip off hands free

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Yes, I’ve tried that, but I don’t always want to pour from the bottom. With the nail jig, I can support the ornaments any way I wish!

[@dalemaclaren7576]

Absolutely stunningly gorgeous ❤ Are these glass or plastic ornaments?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

They are shatterproof. A fancy way of saying they are plastic.

[@hanneko7]

I’m from Denmark. I love these, so very pretty. But what is Flotrol?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

it is a paint additive that improves flow, and also creates beautiful patterns!

[@karen-j3k7v]

Hi, I love these! What size ball are you using?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

these are 2 1/2 inch.

[@karenneville-b8q]

Put a stick in the hole press it in polystyrene and then do the pour. That way the whole ball will get covered.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Lots of wasted paint!

[@mrscov354]

How long does it take to dry? Beautiful ❤ btw we can’t hear your stomach grawl 😂😂😂

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

lol so hungry! these took about 4 hours to dry completely

[@EmilyEverglot]

I'm curious if you have ever put the paint on the inside?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I have not, but it looks like fun! I’ve also watched videos on using alcohol inks inside.

[@EmilyEverglot]

@@ACoastalMagnolia O wow..That must be neat..I'll have to watch some of those

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

they are gorgeous. I want to try it!

[@skerrie1]

My sil tried with the paint inside, turned out gorgeous 😍 I also love yours too!

[@jeaninserra7436]

What kind of glue are you using before the mermaid trash

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Alleens clear tacky glue

[@Erica_In_AmERICA]

I came to the comments to pick on some trolls and haters for fussing at you abt the wasting comments but imagine my surprise when there werent any to be found!! Not any that i could see anyway... Lol.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

aww, that’s sweet! ❤️

[@s.714]

Are these ornaments glass or plastic ones? Gorgeous.

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

they are plastic! which is good because it was so windy this weekend they were blowing all over the place.

[@pamelaluciana2013]

Where do you buy your plastic ornaments?

[@SandraShields-u4g]

Get a piece of Styrofoam and sticks and put the ornaments on them , then put your paint on. It will drip evenly

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Yes, but you are really limited with the paint design. My nail board allows me to set the ornaments sideways, top side up, anyway really. I still get full coverage.

[@debbiebutler456]

What kind of paint for priming?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Usually whatever I have on hand!

[@lindajohansson6357]

How much did you sell these Christmas ornaments for? As a set or individually?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

$5 each

[@lindajohansson6357]

@@ACoastalMagnolia Do you have any pictures of how you displayed them?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Yes, but I am not at all happy with it! I made a Christmas tree cutout with plywood, and had dowel rods to hang the ornaments. It was too big and too clunky. I’m trying to think of something simpler.

[@shopwithebonylove]

@@ACoastalMagnoliaYou can’t even get a Big Mac for $5!! Charge more

[@karen-j3k7v]

Hi Edwige, I live in Fl too. Where do you have your shows? I have learned a lot from your videos and would love to join a group of crafters in Palm Beach Co. Do you have any suggestions on where to find recycled pieces of wood. Thanks!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

I am in Brevard County and stay local for my shows, like Cocoa, Vero and Melbourne. There is a great Facebook group called Central Florida Markets and Craft Shows Vendor Group that has a lot of show resources. The BEST place for recycled wood is pallets! And also keep an eye out for fence boards when your neighbors replace theirs.

[@susanlooney1536]

Did you apply anything over the finished product? I have found that my poured paint looks dull after it dries. Thank you!

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

yes, a coat of resin!

[@LD-id3vy]

❤

[@lifesasandybeach]

What did you mix with the colirs?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

American floetrol

[@medicmark9683]

What did you add to the paint? Was it resin?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Floetrol, a paint additive. you can buy it at Lowe’s

[@Faith-qp8us]

did you use American Flotrol?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

nope, regular US A version, although it’s gotten so high in price too! my local hardware store only has a quart size for the price I used to pay for a gallon. So, once I run out, I’m going to experiment with some other things.

[@TDS.Harper]

Do you sell your ornaments in sets, or individually, or both?

[@ACoastalMagnolia]

Both, but mainly individually

[@TDS.Harper]

@@ACoastalMagnolia Nice! Thank you!!

[@thesun-N-moon8885]

This is one of those things that make you think “Some people will buy anything if you put an ocean theme on it” 😂
