DIY Whimsical Christmas Ornaments

2 December

Today’s project: a DIY whimsical Christmas ornament! 🎄✨ We’re using wooden discs, acrylic paint, stencils, and a touch of DecoArt Snow Medium—my absolute fave! Seriously, I wish it was available year-round because it’s pure magic.
I recently stumbled across some gorgeous mandala stencils on Amazon during my paint-dotting adventures. They’re perfect for Christmas ornaments! Expect to see more of these beauties in future projects—they’re such a great investment.
Grab your supplies, and let’s get crafty! 🎨❄️
