It's not often I get an afternoon
to "play", but after receiving the new Holiday Ornament
Kits from Luminatre
Inc, I treated myself to an entire afternoon of playing and
made some absolutely beautiful holiday ornaments!
Follow the easy step-by-step directions below and have your fun
creating holiday ornaments for yourself!
Step #1
Pour about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of Simple Solution #1 into a clear
glass ornament. Rotate your ornament until the inside of your
glass ornament is completely covered with Simple Solution #1
Let excess Simple Solution drain back into bottle.
Tip:
Allow Simple Solution to get semi tacky, approximately 1 - 2
minutes.
Allowing Simple Solution sit in ornament one minute or less,
your colors will "run". Allowing Simple
Solution sit two minutes, the Simple Solution will be tackier
and colors will be more stable where they are dropped.
Step #2
Choose 2 - 4 colors of Primary Elements Polished Pigments. Begin
by picking up a small amount of your 1st color, using one of
the mini scoops provided with kit, and drop color a few grains
at a time into your ornament. Swirl, or very gently, tap ornament.
Remember, the Primary Elements Polished Pigments colors are very
concentrated and a little bit goes a long way.
TIP: Adding a touch glitter give a wonderful
sparkle. Make sure to add glitter on an area that has only been
covered with Simple Solution.
Step #3
Add your second color and swirl, or very gently, tap ornament
to begin to blend colors.
This is a good time to make sure your mica pigment colors, gold,
copper or bronze are readily available.
TIP: Mini scoops, provided in kit, will help control where you
would like your colors and glitter.
Step #4
Add your third color and swirl, or very gently, tap ornament
to begin to blend colors. Add a fourth color if you
like. It is up to you to choose how many colors you would like
to blend.
TIP: If you find the colors are not moving to your liking, try
adding a few drops of Simple Solution.
Step #5
Now finish off your ornament with a complimentary color of Primary
Elements Polished Pigments. Drop in a a couple of
good size scoops and vigorously shake your ornament. This will
fill in any empty areas that the other colors have not filled.
This will also soak up any excess Simple Solution and your
ornament will be dry in a few minutes. You will know
the interior or your ornament is dry with excess mica pours out.
Replace the top of your ornament. I used silver and gold ribbon
so I could hang my ornaments.
TIP: Bronze and coppers compliments greens. Gold is
gorgeous with reds, pinks, purples and blues.
