As a crafter with over 10 years of holiday DIY experience, I've perfected this simple project using affordable clear glass onion ornaments. Create elegant mid-century modern faux aluminum ornaments customized to match your tree and decor—inexpensive, fun, and professional-looking results every time.
Begin at the center of the ornament and carefully wrap painter's tape around the top half. Ensure the edge is flush with no bubbles, then wipe away any fingerprints or residue for a clean finish.
Take your spray paint and ornament to a well-ventilated area. Apply two or three light coats to the exposed bottom half, allowing each to dry fully for a smooth metallic aluminum effect.
Peel off the tape to reveal your stunning faux aluminum ornament. Hang it on your tree and enjoy the mid-century modern vibe!
