plaid - I love it!! My personal favorite line: Real animals parts (e.g. chicken feet, skulls, etc.) OK or NOT OK? Cute or morbid or a mix?

Rivka: No, 18k is great but I just wouldn't be able to find anything 18K in the price range we usually use.

Go to Hobby Lobby, find the clear glass Christmas tree ornaments in the plain white box. Put a few boxes in your basket.
Find the tempera paint. Choose a few different colors: I suggest blue, green, red, and yellow, but definitely get some white. Put them in your basket.
Find the pretty Christmasy ribbon. Put a few yards in your basket.
Find a gold paint marker. Fine tip. Put that in your basket.
Find glitter in a spray can. Gold looks best, IMO, but pick one you like that will compliment the paint you've chosen. Put that in your basket.
Purchase all the things in your basket and go to Wal-Mart. Buy a box of small dixie cups. Go home.
Assembly:
Take the gold top off the ormanent. Be careful, the glass is fragile.
Pour some tempera inside the ornament. Choose one or two colors, and put some white in as well. Put your index finger over the hole, and shake or swirl the paint colors together. Then, pour the excess paint out into a trash can. Try to get as much of the extra paint out as possible, as it will slow the drying time.
Put a pencil or small dowel rod into the ornament. Spray the ornament lightly with the glitter.
Put the ornament, hole side down, in a dixie cup to dry.
Once completely dry, put the gold cap back on. Thread a 9 inch piece of the pretty ribbon through the ring at the top, and tie in a pretty bow.
Use the gold paint pen to write on the ormanent. Last year, I put a name of a member of our family one each one, and 2002 on the back.
Put the ornaments back in the box. Put the lid on, and secure with a length of the same pretty ribbon.
