My husband has turned me into a nerd. Not quite a full fledged nerd or anything but my nerdiness shows through some times.
I wanted to make my some Avengers Christmas bulbs, you know for my husband. So I got some plain bulbs from the dollar store at 4 for a dollar. The only ornaments I found not covered in glitter and jewels were these peach colored ones. I got on Google and looked up Avengers logos and ended up with these which I decided to print and cutout.
They weren't what I originally was looking for. I wanted like a hammer for Thor and a star shield for Captain America, and the triangle thing for Iron Man but didn't know what to do for The Hulk, ripped pants??? So the Avengers symbol altered for each character worked out pretty well.
I mixed up my colors to the right shades with some paint I had and put in some sparkle paint. I painted 3-4 coats on each ball and let them dry. I also took off the top hook things and painted them black with a little sparkle.
After they were all dry I put a layer of modge podge on the back of my cut outs and stuck them down.
The first one I did was Captain America and I put a coat of modge podge over the top and it started to make the colors bleed a little so I stopped and just made sure that they were stuck down good. I stuck the tops back on and put hooks on them and took them outside and sprayed them with some Triple Thick Master Shine Super Gloss Finish (my mom gave it to me?) before hanging them to dry.
I think they turned out pretty cool, they were only a dollar and my husband really liked them too.
