Well... I didn't see your glass ornament tutorial until today... My friend had this idea that she saw in a catalog where you STAMP ON THE OUTSIDE OF A ROUND GLASS ORNAMENT with the stick kids from All In The Family.
She had the idea.
I had the set.
And so the adventure began...
Used black StazOn ink and had rubbing alcohol nearby and ready to use to wipe off mistakes... (and boy did we have mistakes!!)
Inked stamp.
Working from feet to head, we S-L-O-W-L-Y rocked on each stamp on the outside of the glass ornament. Had to watch out for smearing, missed features, and other glitches. Used fine point Sharpie to draw in missed lines. Used colored Sharpies and Deco Paint Pens to add color.
She filled her ornaments with Tempera Paint.
I used thick Glitter Glue.
Took FOREVER to dry - but turned out really nice.
If I did this again, I'd paint the inside first - then stamp outside.
I'd also explore finding WHITE Staz-On ink - I think it'd show up better.

Very cute! I saw those ornaments in a catalog and had the same thought: Can I make them myself? thanks for the helpful hints - I'm going to give it a shot! You think the white staz on would show up better than black ink?
