| Here are two suggestions for removing paint from old glass
Christmas ornaments. Once the paint is removed, you can redecorate the ornament.
(Try our Marbelized Ornaments instructions!)
Method One from carencake@aol.com
To use the old glass ornaments that have been scratched from love just
soak them in household beach or if internal colors ruined pour bleach
inside add dry rice and swirl around to remove old paint. Usually this
works then rinse well and dry. You may then paint them or fill will tinsel,
popouri, etc. Good luck!
Method Two from tarrijin@aol.com
If you have any old glass christmas ornaments, that are losing their
paint, or that you are tired of, carefully remove the metal "cap" from
the top and pour some bleach and some table salt into the ornament, put
your thumb over the opening and shake. All the interior paint will come
right off. Rinse well. This also works on a cloth for paint on the outside
of the balls. Rinse thoroughly and decorate any way you like! I like to
use small pieces of tinsel garland inserted into the balls and/or paint
a message or draw a design on the outside using a gold or silver, reg
or green "paint pen" . |
