I colored the face and scarf in with a permanent marker. You could use acrylic paint as well. Once that dried I coated it with white iridescent glitter nail polish. The nail polish came from the Dollar Tree.

    Adorable, my friend! And I think both my son and I would have fun making something like this πŸ™‚ Also, the addition of the rhinestones on the tree set it off perfectly.

    Happy week to you! Hugs! Stephanie-The Enchanting Rose

    These are ADORABLE! I love them. Just when I was thinking that you could put some gems on the tree, (having spent time at Dollar Tree where they have sticky gems for kids) in the NEXT picture you showed the gems on the tree! Great minds think alike my friend. πŸ™‚

    I have made ornaments galore using this method this Christmas but never once did I stop to think about what ELSE I could coat in floor finish and glitter; I love these. I especially love the snowman with the tealight inside. Thanks for sharing with us at the Virtual Refrigerator. Pinned.

    I had no idea you could use floor finish like this. They look great, especially with the battery tea lights inside.

    I’m not much of a crafter, and this may be a silly question, but does the floor finish act as a clear glue? Would Mod Podge work? They are really cute and look very easy to do. Thanks for sharing your crafts.

      Thank you Rose, yes the floor finish is sticky so it is like a glue. Mod Podge will work and I have used that as an option as well. Thank you for being part of our community πŸ™‚
