Painting on CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS?!

[@MiraByler]

For all the people who are so ~upset~ that I posted a Christmas video this early: 1. We're in a pandemic. Shipping is incredibly slow right now, so if people want these ornaments before Christmas, I had to post it now. 2. Again, these are difficult times. If getting festive early helps people feel happy, then let them have their happiness. Instead of happy shaming, use your energy to post what you're doing to keep your spirits up right now. 💜

[@emmq_yt]

yes christmas is my main source of joy rn even though everybody forgot about thanksgiving lol

[@iluvnour]

Your wierd chloe is better

[@mjpete27]

You are truly inspirational and so kind. I hope you continue to create art no matter what time of year it is. I have high hopes for your store launch and it’s success! Thank you.

[@jaylarose630]

This is totally off topic but you look so pretty with glasses! 😊

[@summerluverrrr]

Actually right wen the pandemic hit they started to play Christmas music on the radio! They said that the music made people incredibly happy! AND MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎅🎁

[@miroux1111]

I don’t get why people get so upset over when someone males a personal decision to celebrate Christmas. If ever we need a little Christmas...it’s NOW. You do you! Love it!

[@Terrelli9]

Or why anyone gets upset over any decision that’s not hurting themselves or anyone else. And even from a practical standpoint, Mira’s right. We artists DO have to start on Christmas things now, or even earlier, if we want to sell them.

[@ayslinnhusebo8053]

Have you ever thought of painting your paint brushes?? I think that would be cool!😎

[@reneedixonart]

Aww I love your glasses!!! Growing up we celebrated Christmas Mexican style. We didn't believe in Santa Claus but we did put up a tree. We did Las Posadas which was basically the whole neighborhood reenacting Joseph and Mary looking for a place to stay in Bethlehem. At the last house we got let in and had a big party with food and a piñata!!! Traditionally the wise men bring the gifts (not Santa) but they didn't get there until Jesus was two so you have to wait until Jan 6th (the day of the wise men) to get gifts (We got ours on Christmas eve since we lived in the USA), so that day is another big party and we have a Rosca bread which has a baby Jesus baked into it. Whoever gets the baby Jesus has to have a party on February 2nd which is Candlemas. So as you can plainly see - we like to party. I was wondering about the gesso too but then also thought maybe those wood discs come pre sealed. You know these don't have to be just Christmas tree ornaments - you can hang them around the house all year-round!! Yes I would love to see more of these ornament paintings!!! Merry Christmas Mira!! But first - Happy Thanksgiving!!

[@MiraByler]

Oh my goodness, your Christmas traditions growing up sound so FUN! I would love to celebrate like that one year and go to Candlemas on Feb 2! Thanks for sharing your traditions. And you are totally right about these being hung up year round! 💜

[@Terrelli9]

I love the idea of non traditional Christmas trees. I’ve been collecting ornaments for years to eventually have an enchanted forest tree and a Victorian tree complete with bows and glass ornaments from my grandma. They’re not complete this year, but someday.

[@MiraByler]

That sounds like a beautiful idea for a Christmas tree!

[@Tammylamb777]

Our tree stays up until the middle of January. We celebrate Russian Christmas and New Years. So it’s usually up for around 6-7 weeks. 😊

[@zobelobe2362]

Same but I also celebrate Ethiopian Christmas

[@ellayak]

[@ellayak]

[@HarleyWithWings]

My family’s tree started as a “memory” tree. Each ornament was supposed to represent really significant events of the last year, or represent different people in our lives. But each year, it has slowly converted into a Harry Potter themed tree. Complete with a Hogwarts express train. 😅 And since my sister works at Hallmark, we get some really great discounts! In keeping true to that... I think you just gave me a “Fantastic” idea!!! 😏

[@katgeorge7041]

I bought 8 of these ornaments earlier this week! I think many people are feeling creative these days. I love the flower ones you did. Thanks for sharing.

[@hgdddghj]

My new sketchbook is about arrive in the mail rn and im so happy that u uploaded cuz now i can get inspired and draw something creative like mira!♡♡♡♡

[@Terrelli9]

I actually get seasonal sadness in summer. I live in an area that’s stinkin hot and sticky from the middle of April until the middle of October. We get about 3 weeks of spring and 3 weeks of fall, if we’re lucky. So by that point a cold winter is just heaven. And I take down my tree in February. Yes, I’m that person and I’m not sorry about it.😜

[@bloodyrose7046]

I feel ya. So I end up really enjoying Fall and Winter.

[@sonalij8353]

[@paranoiarpincess]

The fact that your family watches your videos is so darn wholesome! I love it! HI MIRA'S FAMILY! HAVE A WONDERFUL DAY AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING THE WORLD SUCH A WONDERFUL CREATIVE SPIRIT! ♡♡

[@hannahmayo7235]

Beautiful Mira! I love your content, you brighten my days!

[@mjpete27]

Thank you for showing us how to create on the wood rounds! My wife bought the box of rounds from Arteza and she started off using her wood burning kit to create relief drawings that included the date for the kids in the family. We used Posca paint markers to save on brush wear, It was easier too! I believe that you have created some wonderful art on your wood rounds! Thank you for showing us how to create real paintings, very small. Lovely video and artworks Miranda, please stay safe and have a wonderful day!

[@dianeo]

I'd love to see you paint more of these ornaments. They turned out so nice, plus they make you so happy!

[@jaberjaws00]

These are all so nice. We take our tree down after the new year

[@mr.sprinkles1530]

Same!

[@liesbethartlife]

I just always love your paper towels ! They look look abstract art paintings ! So colorful and with all the paint still flat. Mine is always a total mess

[@madysonsmith5489]

I really love you Mira because you are such a calm person who just does what makes you feel good, and you really want other people to feel good. When I watch your videos in can tell what a sweet person that you are. Love you!!

[@wendylm728]

I normally make ornaments and other crafts every year and donate them to my grandson’s school (started doing this over 20 years ago for my son’s) for their holiday shop. With no in-school learning going on, I only made a dozen for myself. I used these same wood slices and antique Christmas prints from Etsy. They turned out great. Yes, my tree is up. This is the earliest I’ve ever put it up. I usually take it down soon after new year’s. 🎄

[@melodygu3art]

I did this last year for a craft fair! Just started painting some more for this holiday season ❤️

[@relaxcutglue]

Mira I LOVED this video! Your florals are so bright and cheerful! I LOVE the little red house..can’t wait for you to do more!

[@MiraByler]

Thank you!

[@natasham6510]

Yes! Christmas is my favorite too! This has definitely inspired me to do my own too! The kids and I always paint ornaments every year this is a different take on that I love this idea, thank you Mira! I love you keep the epic art coming please!

[@Fluffball_crochets]

We take our tree down about a week after Christmas usually!

[@justina.08]

We put ours up in November and take it down mid January! Ps u are so pretty💜

[@CreativaArtly]

This is one of my favorite things to do. I love painting on wood. I painted a horse ornament on wood years ago and it’s one of my favorite pieces I’ve ever made for our tree.

[@angelavanart]

I really love the floral ornaments . They’re really gorgeous 😍 I usually take my tree down every New year.

[@gennagirl7208]

Hi Mira, I just wanted to pop in and say, Hi, you are such an inspiration to me and I haven’t even finished the video but love it already!

[@MiraByler]

Thank you!

[@thriftytxmom]

The ornaments are beautiful, you always do such a great job. My tree and decor will definitely be coming down right after Christmas since I put everything up this past weekend. Lol

[@berthulf]

The Irony is that these are not only beautiful, but actually very traditional. Bringing colour and reminders of spring and summer have been very common winter and christmas decorations for centuries, it's only in recent hestory where things had to be themed to christmas itself. I love the flowers and they would not be particularly out of place on an 1800 tree (all be it the painting style and materials may differ somewhat) or my great grandmothers. Love it! Also, your tree is really pretty!

[@giantfishy8249]

15:18 that is amazing!!!

[@krispyykrab]

Ok but girl way to get into the Christmas spirit! Now I want to go paint some ornaments 💖😂

[@StephStitches2]

Loved this video! I have some wood slices and I can't wait to paint on them. Hoping to be able to snag a floral ornament in the shop tomorrow!

[@valeriem.proulx4922]

I absolutely love this idea! They turned out super cute! We put up our Christmas tree the weekend after Thanksgiving and take it down on or around New Years

[@Wolfattwilight]

This is such a good idea!! I might give this a go (if i can find time)! Im glad u got to break the mold of xmas themed things, this seems like waaaaay more fun 💙

YESSS GIRL I HAVE A WHITE TREE TOOOO 🥺💗

[@jeanav]

My dad doesn’t celebrate Christmas (I still get gifts from my siblings ♥️) but I love all the decorations 😤🥺✨

[@aludrakijurorin]

I actually have a little 3 foot seasonal tree, which is a white christmas tree that stays up year round. It's decorated for every season, so it's Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter themed, each season lasting 3 months =D

[@justina.08]

That's so cool!💜💜

[@mareebee7046]

Awesome!!!

[@kiki3904]

Wow I haven't even watched the video but I'm positive ill get amazing inspiration also please do another Christmas ways to fill your sketchbook. Also where did you get the wood pieces?

[@MiraByler]

I am hoping to do that in December!! I got the wood pieces from Amazon, but I think next time I buy some I'm gonna get them from Arteza because those ones look better. :D

[@charlenecanchola6535]

Mira Byler, I bought the Arteza wood slices and was pleasantly surprised with the quality and the fact that all of the slices were of a fairly uniform size. They sell boxes of small ones and they sell boxes of larger ones which I think might be the size you have in this video. I love your ornaments, especially the florals!

[@shay2210]

I love your Christmas tree

[@dawnguthrie5660]

they look lovely, makes me want to give it a try

[@azzuparis]

Mira, these paintings are just lovely 💞

[@silverhoney6969]

These were very fun to watch ! My husbands family is Russian, and their Xmas is layers then ours, we end up keeping the tree up until the last week of January or longer 😂 I LOOOVE painting my own ornaments and have done the glitter thing, Marbleized, added rhinestones & stickers, etc. When my grandma passed away few years ago , I painted a set of 6 of the round (but sorta flat) clear ornaments with different purple & blue Irises, and put my own ribbon on them. Gave them out to 5 people in our family as keepsakes for my grandma it was her favorite flower

[@silverhoney6969]

Since you mentioned making rebellious ornaments, I’m obsessed with nightmare b4 Xmas, and Halloween in general. So I have creepy things and Halloween ornamentes mixed with my Christmas 🎄. I have a glass Xmas spider , I have cobweb ornaments & a sexy zombie cat lady. Next to the crystal dove and plaid ornaments I started to do a Halloween tree in October, then every month changed the theme and did a valentines tree, an Easter/spring tree, and again Halloween. So I get to paint ornamented all year round whatever I’m feeling

[@silverhoney6969]

And yes, we have Tampa bay buccaneers ornaments on our trees. 3 generations

[@CowgirlEm]

I love these!! The Monet inspired floral ones are gorgeous! So refreshing and different 😍 My tree goes down on the 6th of Jan and always makes me sad :( I got some of these myself last year and painted them to use as gift tags for my family that could then be used as personalised ornaments 🥰 they're so fun to paint 😊

[@eviehasley5806]

We take our Christmas tree down on Christmas because my sisters birthday is 2 days after Christmas so we have immediately start getting ready for the party lol 😂 lysm Mira and Happy Thanksgiving!

[@babyalex7553]

This made me feel weirdly calm and at peace somewhat. My grandpa died Christmas morning 2020 from a heart attack. I honestly don't like Christmas but I can appreciate art.

[@chelseascreatures]

We're on the same wave length. I bought some of these too (50) and was taking a breather to watch this video. thanks for pushing me to continue. lol I think I might paint another holiday on these ornaments, I'm a little Christmas-ed out ... AND hold the phone... YOU tied that knot?! that came out so good. aka I'm still struggling with knots. They hate me.

[@pearlsanguine2060]

Our tree goes up on Christmas eve and then stays up until 12th night. We're quite traditional, but I love how it keeps Christmas special.

[@Yikes.3]

I go to Indiana every Christmas to see family. My dad meets my aunt half way there and drops me off with her. So I stay with my aunt uncle and cousin for a week. They live on a farm too with goats pigs cows cats and a dog

[@artgeometrix6346]

This is really good. I like this idea of painting on wood.

[@emmq_yt]

omg i love your tree and those ornaments are just stunning-

[@jimker155]

Mira, these are awesome! I just took a class last week where we painted wood slices for ornaments. We used Posca pens. It was a blast!! More Christmas! More happy!! Much love!!!

[@anitadavidson1266]

What a wonderful video Mira, you made me smile so much! I have the same wood slices ready and waiting, but felt a little lost as to what to paint as I’ve not used acrylics before. Time will tell... I think your paintings are incredibly unique to have hanging on the tree. I wish I could buy them, but sadly the postage costs to Scotland are prohibitive for me, but I know, like everything else you have in your store they will fly off your shelves /art bins! Keep smiling lassie, Spring always arrives... xx

[@MiraByler]

Thank you Anita! I hope you enjoy painting on your wood slices too!

[@parissmith1487]

[@MiraByler]

Haha, thank you!

[@MPetrovich23]

Mira, All of those are so pretty. My fave is the one with the pretty yellow flower (sunflower 🌻 ) those are my favorite. That's what it reminds me of. Before I forget here in PA we also hang ornaments of our favorite football team 🏉 on our Christmas tree 🎄 . So it’s not just you guys in OH. I also know that they decorate their Christmas trees 🎄 both in Tulsa, OK and Dallas, TX with their favorite football teams. That's just to name the few I can confirm ☑️. ..lol 😉 I’d love to see another video of you painting the ornaments for your family. (even if it's after the holidays ). P.s. Loved your against the grain comment... Lol 😆 get it... wood... grain... You cracked me up. Take care and stay safe.

[@navyboymommygramma]

Ooh! I just had a thought. How cute would it be for you to put together painted wood kits for your shop? You could add a few slices of wood, some paint( you'd have to get those little paint pots) and ribbon and add a link to a video tutorial or make a step by step picture tutorial in the kit and put it all in a little muslin or burlap bag. I think that would be a lot of fun. Just a idea. 😊💕

[@katkacapkova5393]

Our Xmas tree usually stays up about a week and a few days after Xmas. And we have Easter, but we celebrate it differently, we always get some flexible branches, and we tie them together like a braid but there's like six lines instead of three, and then we put something like duck tape on the bottom so it's easier to hold, and a bow on the top. And then we go out to our friends and family and we get more bows and some chocolate eggs or normal eggs. It's a little bit like Halloween (which we don't have here). I'm from Czech republic 😆🎄💞✨
