Inexpensive and DIY Christmas Decor: Christmas Temporary Tattoo Ornaments

This holiday season, add a unique twist to your Christmas decorations with DIY temporary tattoo ornaments! This easy and almost foolproof project is perfect for both adults and children, and requires minimal skills.

Materials Needed

  • Shatterproof ornaments
  • Spray paint (choose your preferred colour)
  • Printable temporary tattoo paper or pre-made temporary tattoos (optional)
  • Protective enamel spray
  • Scissors
  • A washcloth
  • Water

For those seeking eco-friendly, non-toxic temporary tattoos, websites like Sparrow & Wilde offer suitable options. Hornbach sells tattoo transfer paper for laser and inkjet printers, allowing you to create your own custom tattoos. Additionally, INKARTLINK provides semi-permanent, realistic temporary tattoos made from plant-based ink.

Instructions

  1. Gather your materials and find a well-ventilated area to work in, as spray painting is part of this project.
  2. Carefully remove the tops from the shatterproof ornaments.
  3. Spray paint the outside of the ornaments with your chosen colour, ensuring even coverage. Allow the ornaments to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
  4. If you're using printable temporary tattoo paper, print out your desired design, cut it out, and place it on the dry ornament.
  5. Wet the washcloth with water and gently press it onto the tattoo paper. This will transfer the tattoo design onto the ornament.
  6. Allow the ornament to dry completely before sealing it with protective enamel spray. This will help the tattoo design last longer.
  7. Repeat the process for each ornament, creating a unique set of Christmas decorations.

The possibilities for designs are endless, making this project a fun and creative way to personalise your Christmas decorations. So, gather your materials and get ready to create some adorable temporary tattoo ornaments for this festive season!
