Super EASY DIY Frosted Glass Ornaments!

[@cjbarash3819]

Love, love, love! ❤ When my grandchildren were little, I gave each of them a special ornament. I would take them back and keep them in a box. Whenever they became old enough to have their own apartment with their own tree, I sent them their box of ornaments. They loved it. I would like to try these this year as I have become stumped for new ideas. Thanks Nate! ❤

[@xlauriestarchildstudios7777]

They look like angel feathers!!!

[@nevineerian3065]

They turned out great and very unique!❤

[@marshamoore9101]

Wow. Love them all.

[@cutethings6]

Omg Nate, they are Gorgeous! I can't get over the feathered design, it looks like you hand painted them in layers! LOVE ❤️ THEM!

[@maggiekehoe4614]

What a unique idea for ornaments. I will try this with a 4 cup turner that I got on Amazon. It comes with stands that serve the same purpose as the candle. It’s worth the $41 cost when you are making to sell. The holders fit the stem of the ornament perfectly.

[@NateBrightArt]

Interesting... can you tell me what to search for on Amazon? I might want to get one of those too. Thanks!

[@donnadyer7040]

How stunning!!! Excellent ideas!! Thank you for sharing with us!!

[@Raven-nx8ex]

Wow Nate, your ornaments are simply gorgeous. Love the gold effect and the purple ones are so pretty. All frosty and transparent and the blue flash is awesome. The blue pthalo like feathers one makes me want to touch it and the pink deep violet with the rose is super gorgeous!💜💙💛💗& the candlestick technique is brillant. Loved it.

Nate, these are some extremely beautiful and sweet.

[@ARTBYSPARKLE]

These are gorgeous, Nate🥰

[@gerripeter484]

WOW Nate these are amazing and gorgeous I did a pour on a bowl and added the satin enamel and I absolutely love how it came out from the inside to the outside. It’s gorgeous. I’m definitely going to try this on ornaments, hoping all is well with you and your handsome hubby.

[@elaineratliff-j9d]

Excellent outcome!

[@debbiewalls245]

Beautiful Nate. I love them.

[@TreesieParadisArt]

Such a cool idea! I just ordered a bunch of glass ornaments that have little LED lights inside of them that I think would look gorgeous with this technique!! I’ll tag you when I give this a try with them. Thanks for always keeping us inspired my friend!!🫶🏼

The ornaments are beautiful. I was wondering if this technique would work on plastic ornaments as well. Thank you, Elaine

[@NateBrightArt]

Yes, absolutely!

[@caroletyson9103]

These are amazing!!!

[@jeaniespalette]

The candles & nuts are a clever idea. I've been using craft sticks & styrofoam. Definitely going to try your method.

[@debramendive114]

Nate, those are beautiful. ❤

[@paulagoynes]

I just used up my last ornaments this afternoon so now I’ll have to buy more because I’m trying this! So beautiful Nate. My favorite is also your favorite but that dark blue was gorgeous too. Thanks for another great idea! ❤

[@paws2play]

Thanks for posting this! It's definitely inspiring!

[@rebeccaeikey4394]

I love them. I did some ornaments last year and found them all stuck together this year. So sad. I did seal them but I packed them away all together. Now I'll have to try again. Thanks.

[@lilliebowers7962]

Beautiful love these❤

[@Heidi.P.L-PourLove]

Oh wauw Nate, these are beautiful 😍 I love all the colours, and funny that your video popped op today, less than an hour ago I was thinking on how to fixate the ornaments i bought last year. Last year I ended up mainly doing pigments inside inspired by Kelly. And bought some flat ones because I saw Louise make them, så k never solved the mystery. And hey, why didn't I think of candlesticks, that's brilliant. For sure I'm gonna try this with the enamel, they are absolutely gorgeous. 😍 Thank you so much for sharing, inspiring and spreading Christmas vibes, just what I needed. 😃

[@NateBrightArt]

Yay! Have fun!

[@ArtsReallyCool123]

Great use of candle sticks, Nate. We were planning on trying to make ornaments this year but felt a bit intimidated by the idea of it. You made this look very easy. Maybe we'll give it a go.

[@karistelma650]

Way WAY cool!

[@bonniemcvicar-briggs5770]

Mr Nate, they are gorgeous. I love the darker blue. Reminds me of ice over the ocean. The lighter blue is the one I see as feathers gentle enveloping the ornament. I definitely will try this. I'd like your opinion about using resin as a finish rather than varnish. Would it be more shiny, too difficult, or impossible. I don't want to waste resin if I don't have to. Thank you for sharing your truly creative nature with us. ❤

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Bonnie! Thank you so much! I haven't tried resin on these yet, but I think it will be amazing. And here's some great news... resin doesn't bond to wax! so using a candle as the support will make it very easy to finish them off.

[@kaylene8044]

I just love how fun and beautiful these are❤homemade decorations are the most precious 😊

[@wandarodgers2114]

They all remind me of how the deep snow, way up north, falls and hangs on the trees.

[@kathyz8203]

These are stunning Nate❤. I wasn’t planning on doing any ornaments this year but I think I just changed my mind! Maybe I missed it but what did you mix your pigments with?

[@NateBrightArt]

Yay! I can't wait to see yours! I dispersed my TLP's in GAC800, and then added my regular pouring medium. I think any pm would work... just remember that floetrol dries matte, so you'll have to resin or varnish if you want to see sparkle.

[@kathyz8203]

@ thx Nate I just didn’t know if you used anything different for these.

[@kbs36]

So beautiful. Do you finish them off with some type of varnish?

[@abilitycrafting864]

I love these ornaments. Ever try using an airbrush without paint to blow that paint around? It could keep you from having to blow so much that you make yourself dizzy.

[@NateBrightArt]

Thanks - no I don't have an airbrush. And fortunately I'm a runner, so I have good lungs and don't have to worry about getting dizzy. Someone else mentioned that they were going to try it with a straw for the same reason, so you're not alone!

[@elizabethbailey2762]

Hi, Nate! You popped up on my feed! I was looking for my sleep story and found you instead! Lucky me! Is it possible to tell me just what products you are using? I just moved to civilization from living in the hinterlands. I’m not sure if I need a proper art store or something as basic as Joanne’s or Michael’s. I have all three near by (I already have the glass balls! Yay!). I’d like to do this correctly! Are you on Patreon? Let me know that, too! Betsy. PS: I want to make my sleep deprivation worth it!!! Looks so beautiful for gifts! THANKS!!! ❤

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Elizabeth! The good news is you can get almost everything I used here on Amazon! You'll want to order: 1. DecoArt Satin Enamel White 2. Floetrol (paint conditioner) 3. Any color acrylic paint you like from Liquitex Basics, Amsterdam or Golden (my preferences) Try the regular paints first before trying the dry pigments, which I get from www.fluid-art.co. Mix 1 part satin enamel to 2 parts Floetrol and then thin with water to a very thin consistency. If it you don't get the right effect when you pour, you didn't use enough water. Mix your paints the same way, but add less water - they should be slightly thicker than your satin enamel mix. And yes! You can find me on Patreon under Nate's Art Lab!

[@jackiebennet5346]

I LOVE the way your ornaments turned out. I'd love to give this a try because I have been doing some ornaments myself lately. I do have a few questions though. I don't have the same kinds of paints as you used, and I don't have any piggy pigments. All I have are Artist Loft tube paints, and Liqutex liquid paints, in bottles. What would be a good mixture for these types of paints? Can Floetrol be used, or is it best to just use water? How thick or thin should be colored paints be? I will be using plastic ornaments to pour over. I have a cat so no glass on my tree. LOL

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Jackie! You should be able to use any paints or pouring medium you like... as long as your base coat is made with DecoArt Satin Enamel White. Unfortunately I haven't found anything else that works to give that frosted glass look. I buy mine from amazon... I think it's $10 for an 8 ounce jar. And a little goes a long way! 4 ounces of pouring medium, 2 ounces of satin enamel and (roughly) 2 ounces of water will give you 8 ounces of mixed paint. My base coat paint is super thin, almost like water - but the colors I pour on top are thicker consistency and leave a small mound when drizzled off of the stir stick. I hope that helps!

[@jackiebennet5346]

@@NateBrightArt Thank you so much Nate. Thanks to a packaging mishap by Micheals, I have plenty of Satin Enamel. I ordered 2 jars and they both leaked all over the box, so Micheals sent me 2 replacement jars. I can't wait to try your method. They are so pretty. My favorites are the dark blue one and both of the reddish ones. BTW. Your candle idea is great. I'm going to try it, because even though my setup works pretty well, I like your idea better. It keeps the ornaments more stable. Thanks again for taking the time to get back to me. I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. God bless. 😊

[@marthaburge5209]

Loving this idea. These really turned out beautiful. What ratio did you use for the Deco Art White, PM, and water please?

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Martha! It was 2 parts pm, 1 part paint, and a lot of water!

[@marthaburge5209]

@@NateBrightArt Thank you! You made me laugh because I could just hear the lots of water part. I want to try this. What a great idea and beautifully executed. Thanks again.

[@night4001]

I really liked the video and the ornaments. I would like to try making these and I am wondering what kind of varnish you use on them.

[@NateBrightArt]

Thanks! I apply two coats of spray varnish to seal it, and then a thin layer of JoSonja gloss varnish that I apply with a strip of t-shirt material. I hope that helps!

[@night4001]

@@NateBrightArtthank you so much!

[@jayelleart]

They're beautiful! What do you use to dilute the TLP?

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Jay! I disperse my TLP's in GAC800. But you can use anything water soluble that is a thin consistency. Varnish, Isopropyl alcohol, Liquitex pm... all of them work.

[@jayelleart]

@NateBrightArt disperse. That's the word I was looking for. Lol. Thank you so.much!!

[@debbystaats9338]

Have u thought to use different size tubes and straws for the blow? Would give u variety of patterns...

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Debby! I hadn't thought of that... I just normally use my mouth to blow it out. The paint starts to spread quickly so you have to move fast!

[@thislittlepiggy3349]

[@kbs36]

Help! I have tried 2 vases and two ornaments after listening to your video 32 times. I have the Deco Art Matt Satin as you showed on the video. I am not sure if I am hearing that you said you added a pouring medium or just all water. If you did add a pouring medium, what was it? Do you mine listing the actual ingredients? You can tell I’m a newbie, but I want to perfect this pouring technique. I love them on the ornaments and the candle holders that you demonstrated. Thank you for your quick responses.

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi KB! My pouring medium is 2 parts US Floetrol to 1 part PVA glue (Elmer's Glue All will work but NOT Elmer's School Glue) to 1 part gloss varnish. I mixed it 2 parts pouring medium to 1 part DecoArt Satin Enamel. But ANY pouring medium should work - even just Floetrol. The key is to use the Satin Enamels and enough water to get it super thin. It should leave no mound at all when drizzled off of your stir stick! Questions always welcome! I hope that helps

[@kbs36]

Thank you, thank you. Will try again today.

[@sheilabassett3260]

Could blow fine glitter on them lol

[@elizabethkeatley5010]

is the white paint mixed with anything BUT water? and if so, what did you use?

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Elizabeth! The white mix was 1 part DecoArt Satin enamels, 2 parts pouring medium (any of them will do) and water to a very thin consistency- leaves no mound at all when drizzled off of the stir stick. I hope that helps!

[@janiceEM1945]

I have several questions if you would be so kind to answer them, since I can’t afford Australian flow what else do you recommend? Next is what is your ratio when you mix the deco, art satin, and what is your pouring medium and ratio?

[@NateBrightArt]

Hi Janice! For the cell activator, I use Aussie Floetrol. But I've seen other artists use just Elmer's Glue All (not the school glue version) and water. I make my own pouring medium with 2 parts US Floetrol, 1 part PVA Glue and 1 part gloss varnish. But any pouring medium should work. Just mix it 2 parts PM to 1 part DecoArt Satin Enamel, and then thin with water until it leaves no trace when drizzled off of the stir stick. I hope that helps!

[@janiceEM1945]

@ thank you so much for your time and help. I will certainly try your method. Greatly appreciate it.
