My daughter and I have been working on black and white Christmas ornaments for our white Christmas tree. Every year since I have owned this retro style white Christmas tree, I have decorated it in a new theme every year. This year it will be all black and white.

Black and White Christmas Ornaments
For this project you will need the following supplies:
- Small Dixie cups or any type of foam cup.
- Glass ornaments from your local craft store.
- Acrylic paints in colors of your choosing.
As for our project, we again just used black, white, and silver acrylic paints. First you pour a stripe of each color into the glass ornaments, after removing the hanging clip, and slowly swirl the ornaments around until the paint blends together in the marbled effect.
After slowing swirling each ornament to get the paint to cover the entire surface of the inside of the ornament, you then put the ornament upside in one of the cups for the excess paint to drain, which also causes more of a swirling, marbled effect in the paint.
Allow the paint to dry overnight and hang on the tree. This is such a easy project that even young children can help out with.
Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.
