Self-adhesive film

Scissors

Ornamental punch (motif of your choice)

Old or new Christmas Baubles

Plastic cover sheet

Thin protective gloves

Skewers

MontanaCans METALLIC Effect Spray in your favorite colors

Piece of Styrofoam

Hangers/ribbon to place the baubles in your tree or branch

STEP 1

Cut a piece of the self-adhesive film and punch out the motif you have chosen. Stick the motifs onto the bauble or ornament

STEP 2

Cover your workplace with a plastic cover sheet and put your gloves on. Take away the hanger from your Christmas tree ball and put it aside. Apply the bauble onto a skewer. Shake your Montana Metallic Effect Spray color(s) well for 2-3 minutes and apply thin, even layers onto the object.

STEP 3

To let paint dry, stick the skewer upright onto a piece of Styrofoam. When the paint has dried remove the self-adhesive film motifs. Put the hanger back onto your spray painted Christmas tree bauble.

FOR THE STAR PATTERN

If you don’t like the base color of your Christmas tree ball, give it a fresh look with a Montana Gold line color before applying the Montana Metallic Effect Spray color. To increase durability and avoid damage, apply Montana Cans Universal Primer before applying color and Montana Varnish after the applied color has been able to dry and cure. Please be careful not to damage your paintwork when removing your adhesive film motifs.

FOR THE GRADIENT EFFECT

Only painting half of your bauble or ornament can achieve a beautiful color gradient. For best results allow your Gold line color base coat to cure overnight before applying Montana Metallic Effect Spray color(s). Montana Metallic Effect Spray colors can be applied wet on wet over each other.
