I almost bought these ornaments yesterday at Michael's. I was not sure how to stamp on them. What are Deco color pens? i wonder if I could use Multipurpose, Ultimate Craft Pens. They can be used on everything but, I have never tried them on glazed surfaces. Any suggestions?
By the way your ornament is adorable.

Hi papercuties. I stamped on the ornament with stazon ink. It worked really well. The paint pens that I used are suitable for glass, ceramics, wood, etc. Maybe the Ultimate Craft Pens are the same thing, but have a different name in Canada? I found them at Michaels in the section that has the empty paint cans and other tins to decorate. Right near the glass paints.
Good luck with your ornaments!

Hi Pepperann,
I stamped the Frosty image onto the ceramic ornament (Bought it at Michael's) with Stazon ink. I then used paint pens to colour Frosty but most people use Sharpie pens. Then I traced the shape of the ornament out onto double sided sticky tape. I stuck the tape on top of my Frosty image and then peeled off the paper on the other side of the tape. Then I "smooshed" the sticky Frosty image into a plate of clear microbeads. Voila! Frosty ornament complete.
Hope that helps. Good luck with them. They are very easy to make and a lot of fun.
