Light Up Christmas Ornament DIY

by blewis | Sep 25, 2024 | Christmas/Winter, Holiday | 42 comments

I started thinking about Christmas and what type of decorations that I want to make this year. After looking through some of my craft items I came across a napkin that I’ve been wanting to get creative with. This is an amazing double sided napkin from European Excellency. I want to use this napkin to create a light up Christmas decoration. You can see what supplies I’ll be using down below.
You’ll find the items that we’ll be using listed down below.
1. One 200mm plastic ornament
2. One napkin from European Excellency
3. Paint brush
4. Mod podge
5. Sky Blue and English Navy acrylic paint by Apple Barrel
6. One silver container from our website
7. One strand of 50ct white lights
You can find this napkin on European Excellency by clicking my referral link down below.

The first step is to remove the back layers from the napkin.
I ripped around the image that I’ll be using.
Once you have the image ripped then you’ll add it to the ornament using the mod podge.
I added some of the mod podge to the ornament and then placed the napkin on top.
Once you have the napkin in place you’ll then add more mod podge over the napkin.
Once the mod podge is dry you’ll then start adding the paint.
I started with the English Navy first and then added some of the Sky Blue.
Once I had the paint added I then added the lights to the inside of the ornament.
I placed the ornament onto the silver container. You can find this silver item on our website by clicking the link down below.

This was very easy to make and will look great mixed in with my vintage Christmas decor. I hope you’ll get creative and give this fun diy a try.
