| Make Gorgeous Ornaments
with Primary Elements
Supplies:
- Clear glass ornaments, any shape or size
- Primary Elements "Polished Pigments"
- Primary Elements "Simple Solution #1"
***
- Mica Pigments: Gold, Copper and Bronze
- Paper Towels Newspaper for covering your work
surface
- Mini Spoons
- Glitter
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.
*** Simple Solution #1 has been discontinued. A
good substitute is Elmer's Glue. Use 80% glue and
add 20% water
