"This year I’m exchanging ornaments with Kati of Houseful of Handmade. Kati’s tree is decorated with natural, rustic elements in cranberry red, taupes, and creams. She likes materials such as burlap, wood, and gold/copper metals. I made DIY Antique Star Ornaments using these cute paper mache star ornaments I found at the Hobby Lobby. These are perfect to paint in gold metallic then compliment with a distressed cream layer. These DIY Antique Star Ornaments can be made for under $10 and in a couple of hours. I picked up the paper mache star ornaments (5 in a bag) at Hobby Lobby along with the FolkArt metallic and acrylic paints for about $6. These items are readily available in the craft section of most discount stores and craft stores."

These are super pretty ornaments and are also great for adding to your gift bags or boxes for a lovely accent. I have used the Folk Art Metallic paint on other projects and find that it works very well on chipboard, wood and ceramic items. I also like the idea of adding layers of paint to create just the right look! Great craft idea here.
