Pottery Barn knock-off ornaments

December 13, 2014

Pottery Barn Knock off globe ornamenents pin

I saw this globe at Pottery Barn, and kind of fell in love with it. So, when I was re-decorating my tree AGAIN,   I knew I wanted to incorporate  that style on my tree. Instead of having my globe on an axis,  I decided to distinguish it by adding longitude and latitude lines. I absolutely  LOVE the way they turned out, and for $1.00 a piece, you  just can’t beat that!

Supplies Used:

  • Sand Paper
  • Black Flat  Spray Paint
  • White “Prisma-color” or chalk pencil
  • Metallic Markers or/ paint and paint brush
  • Flat top coat or hairspray works too!
  • Large Bulb Ornaments

 I purchased the larger bulbs at the Dollar Tree!  The smaller ones, were I am guessing a  Michaels purchase.  I began by  using a sponge sanding block, and scuffed up the bulbs surfaces  just enough to create a dull surface.  I then wiped off the dust, and used a “flat” black spray paint.  (Use as directed. )

Repeat this process as many times as needed.

At this point,  I don’t want my lines to fade, so I would suggest  spraying it with a Matte finishing spray,  or even  hairspray! It will act as a fixative , and prevent the pencil from smudging. globe ornament sawdust2stitches Once the fixative dries,  I started the lettering.  I free-handed mine,  but  you can also use a silhouette/cricut/ or  tracing paper, in order to transfer the design. dsadsad After I  had created a basic outline,  I used metallic permanent Sharpie markers to darken the lettering!  SharpeesAnd that is all there is to it!  Imagine all the possibilities!

Meet Corey

Hi everyone, my name is Corey, and I have a problem. I can’t leave well enough alone… The best therapy usually involves a variety of power tools. So, in the few “spare” moments I am not entertaining my two beautiful, rambunctious, boys, I can typically be found hunched over a sewing machine and/or covered in sawdust. All in the efforts to create a perfect balance of aesthetics and practicality in our home.
