Wooden Christmas Baubles decorated with Craft Paint and Plus Color Markers

1 If you want to draw a design directly on the wooden bauble, apply a coat of transparent acrylic varnish to prevent the marker running.

2 Draw a design with a Plus Color marker directly on the wooden bauble (varnished with acrylic varnish beforehand).

3 Alternatively paint the bauble with Plus Color craft paint rather than varnishing it.

4 Draw a design on the bauble with a Plus Color marker after it's been painted with craft paint.

5 Attach masking tape around the middle of the bauble and paint one half with craft paint. Apply a coat of transparent varnish where the masking tape and wood meet to prevent the paint from seeping underneath the masking tape.
