Final Thoughts to Make Crafting More Fun
Creating ornaments is high on my list of Christmas festivities and fun things to do with the kids. I find painting, drawing, and calligraphy relaxing, calming really. I’ve found over the years, mostly through trial and error, that having the right materials makes a huge difference to how nice my ornaments look and how happy I am to give them as gifts.
A few products I find work the best are:
Golden Maple Professional Detail Brush Set of 10
Detail paint brush set is vital to creating small letters, swooshes, stars, dots, snowflakes, and shadows or small images. It’s really all about the precision when painting ornaments and these beautiful brushes are very nice and comfortable to hold
Winsor & Newton Galeria Acrylic Paint Set – mix to create hundreds of colors
The right quality acrylic paint will make painting your ornaments so much easier and quicker. The novelty of applying multiple coats of paint wears off real quick with cheaper, watery acrylic paint so I finally bit the bullet and purchased quality paint that makes rich colors and saves me time.
Artistro 12 Acrylic Paint Pens for rock, stone, ceramic, glass, and wood
There is a reason these are a #1 best seller and highly recommend on countless art blogs, it’s because they are awesome! The flow of paint is perfect, very opaque, and overall much cleaner than mixing paint. Just make sure you have a clean dry or smooth surface before using the pens because they can bleed on wood or porous surfaces.
Crayola Paints and Markers
Anything from Crayola is good, especially when you’re crafting with kids. The paint is high quality, it’s easy to use, and I find a lot of value for my money with these products. More so because when your toddler draws all over the couch it washes off unlike no name brands or cheaper knockoffs!
