I also tend to use foam brushes for my craft projects because I like the way it looks.

What I can suggest is that you buy yourself a very soft-bristled paint brush. If your brush has coarse (or thick/crunchy) bristles, the more prominent your brush strokes will appear on your ornament. Also, when you are applying your coats, apply them thinly (lots of people like to be too generous with the paint, resulting in a goopy mess). Also be sure to allow it to dry before applying your next coat 10 minutes between coats autta do it (the thicker your coats, the longer the drying time). Lastly, when it is completely dry, I would suggest applying a water-based varnish (before adding your embellishments) to add a smooth/glossy finish to your ornament, while protecting the acrylic paint from chipping off.<br />Hope this helps you out!!<br /><br />- DanitaDanitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09052537213473500582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335375827739330397.post-20412350293124742112012-11-30T19:27:31.020-07:002012-11-30T19:27:31.020-07:00What kind of acrylic paint did you use?

Just lay the bottlecaps face-down on your table top and then add some glue to each. Run a strip of ribbon along the glue and then loop the top back down again so that the extra makes a place to hang it from!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03306324900420837974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4335375827739330397.post-41186163880449110132012-04-09T17:39:45.073-06:002012-04-09T17:39:45.073-06:00Sorry to be so "craft dense" but how do ...Sorry to be so "craft dense" but how do you hook the bottle caps together?
