Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Your Faux Velvet Flocked Ornaments:
1. Prepare Your Ornament
Start by painting your plastic or glass ornament with a base coat of your choice. Let it dry completely before adding a second coat for a fuller coverage.
2. Create the Flocked Texture
While the second coat of paint is still wet, sprinkle your flour and cornstarch mixture over the ornament. We recommend mixing 2 parts flour to 1 part cornstarch for the ideal velvet texture. Once the ornament is covered, allow it to dry fully.
3. Brush Off the Mixture
Use a wide paintbrush to gently brush off the excess flour mixture, revealing the soft, velvet-like look. Keep brushing until you’re happy with the texture – this is where you can really play with how “velvety” your ornament feels.
4. Give the Top Some Character
To create an aged metal look for the top of your ornament, dry brush it with black, brown, and gold paint. Just a light touch will create a beautiful, weathered appearance that contrasts wonderfully with the soft velvet.
5. Add a Velvet Ribbon
Finally, add a velvet ribbon to the top of your ornament for that extra touch of luxury. You’re now ready to hang your ornament on your tree, display it in a decorative bowl, or even give it as a gift!
