Step by Step Ice Cream Ornament Directions

1. Paint The Christmas Ornaments

Start by painting your ornaments with acrylic paint. NOTE: I did two coats of paint so that there would be no streaks and the ornament would have full coverage.

2. Paint the Flower Pot Top

While the ornament is drying, paint the top of the mini flower pot the same ice cream color and add some cute ice cream drips.
