Christmas Craft - Plaster of Paris Silver and Gold Ornaments

The mold used for this project had ornaments with contemporary designs so they were painted in the colors of metallic silver and metallic gold to keep that elegant and modern look to them.

For this idea you will need:

- mold with contemporary looking Christmas ornaments
- plaster of Paris powder
- rubber mixing bowl
- spoon
- kitchen knife (for smoothing down the edges at a later stage)
- acrylic paints in the colors of metallic silver and metallic gold
- fine paintbrushes
- varnish for the finished product
- metal wire if using as ornaments

Illustrated Craft Tutorial: 1. To create these ornaments, follow this Plaster of Paris Castings Tutorial. 2. Once your castings are completely dry, you can begin to paint them as you please. Once the paint is dry, spray or brush on varnish to protect the figures and to give them a bit of shine.   After the ornaments were dry and the edges smoothened, they were first painted in with silver metallic paint. They were then put aside to dry. Then gold metallic paint was added to various areas to add more color to the ornaments. To use as ornaments, drill a very small hole in the tops of the ornaments and tie a string through the hole to hang them.

Silver and gold are stylish yet classic colors which many still prefer for their Christmas decor.
