steps
-
Tape off a diagonal section of an ornament with stencil tape.
-
With a pouncer, paint the bottom section using Slate Gray paint; remove tape and let dry completely.
-
Dip a brush into one of the other colors. Aiming at the ornament, hit the brush against another brush in a "cross" formation. Splatter until you achieve desired coverage.
-
Repeat with a second color, then hang ornament to drip-dry.
-
With the remaining colors, splatter another ornament with 2 colors, or continue the color-block and splatter combination.
