Decoration Personalisation

Hello! You must be the owner of our ceramic decoration kits. Ready to welcome in the festive season, enjoy a relaxing and creative hour or two painting your very own personalised decorations to brighten up the tree.

There are an assortment of decorations available, hopefully you’ll find our images of examples below with spark a festive design you’d like to recreate in your own style, or something to inspire your very own unique masterpiece.

Extra tips to keep in mind

  • Before you begin, it’s worth removing the ribbon from the decoration. It will make it much easier to paint, won’t stain the ribbon, and you can tie it back on once your decorations are dry, ready to hang up and show them off.

  • Don’t forget that you can mix paints together to create more colours, shades and tones. To create brown, mix red with green.

  • As you mix colours, the exact outcome will vary depending on the proportions of each colour and the tones you start with.

  • Build up bolder colours by layering paint, but patience is key! Make sure to allow layers to dry before painting over the top.

  • Consider how colours will layer up. Lighter or thiner paints won’t show up so clearly on darker tones, so it’s worth practicing on a scrap of paper to see how the colours overlap and interact with each other.

  • Minimise handling your ceramics as much as you can, oils on your skin can reduce the paint’s ability to adhere.

Decoration Designs & Inspiration

Your trio of decorations can compliment each other, follow a similar pattern, or each be totally different. Commemorate a special date, spell out a name, design a festive scene or paint a contemporary pattern. Below you’ll find examples across a range of decorations, remember you can interpret the designs onto a different shape too. Add initialled bunting to a snowflake to spell out a name, or a geometric pattern to a bird, and a festive landscape scene to a tree for example.

Create straight lines with masking tape for a neat edge.
