Handmade Christmas Ornament - Easy Christmas Craft

Hi everyone, Mou here with a tutorial to make handmade Christmas ornaments using Gelatos and Pitt Artist Pens®! Let me list the supplies before I show you how to make these ornaments with basic tools and supplies.

Recommended Art Supplies:

Faber-Castell Gelatos:

• Comet, Mars, Odyssey, and Satellite from Iridescent Set
• Aqua Dolce
• Gold Champagne
• Mango

Faber-Castell Pitt Artist Pens:

• Permanent Green Olive Brush pen
• Pale Geranium Lake Brush pen
• Black Brush pen
• Gold Bullet pen

Other - cardstock, thread, trimmer, scissors, pencil, glue

Start by trimming 4x4 inches squares out of white cardstock, six pieces for each ornament.

Fold squares in halves. Draw a tree, a gift box and a house with a pencil. Cut out with scissors.

Using the first piece as a template, cut the other five pieces for each ornament design.

Cut about three pieces of thread or twine, each to 6 inches. 

With glue, attach the matching design pieces back to back. Before attaching the last piece, fold the thread in half and place between the previous and final piece to make a loop.

Color the tree ornament with Mango, Comet and Satellite Gelatos colors. Blend with water.

Once dry, make marks on the tree ornament with the Permanent Green Olive Pitt Artist Pen.

Color the gift box ornament with Mars, Odyssey and Gold Champagne Gelatos colors.

Add details to the ornament with the Pale Geranium Lake and Gold Pitt Artist Pens.

Color the house ornament with Odyssey and Aqua Dolce Gelatos.

Add details with the Gold and Black Pitt Artist Pens.

Now, your ornaments are ready to decorate your tree or give as gifts.
