Supplies:
- White solid Christmas Ornaments
- Red paint
- Cardboard or newspaper for drying
- Black Vinyl (or paint if you have a steady hand)
- White sticker paper (or paint)
- Scissors
Directions:
-
- Remove top of ornament that contains the “hanger.”
- Pour red paint in a bowl or cup. You’ll need several inches of paint in your container so it is thick enough to dip the top half of the ornament.
- Use cardboard to place drying ornaments. *PRO TIP: I found an old cardboard box, stuck 3 toothpicks in it and then placed the ornament over the toothpicks to hold it upright as the paint will drip.*
- Once dry cut thin strips of vinyl to wrap around the ball. You can also use black paint if you have a stead enough hand. This black line will essentially cut the ball in half.
- Cut out little black circles with the vinyl (or paint) and place in the middle, front of the ornament.
- Using a hole punch to cut out white sticker paper (or white paint) place white circles in center of black circles. This creates the “button” on the Poke Ball.
- Remove top of ornament that contains the “hanger.”
So cute right? With one pack of ornaments you can amok several Poke Balls to have a themed tree, for your child’s tree or to hand out to friends. This is so easy it would also be a quick way to make a gift for all the kids in your child’s class. Whatever reason you have to make DIY Poke Ball Christmas ornaments, I hope you have a Happy Holidays!

These are so cute! It would be cool to make one as a sort of historical reminder of pop culture.

I like the dipping method you used. My kids are still a little too young to not make a mess but thanks for this how-to for the poke ball ornament.
