Ever want to draw attention to a special ornament on your Christmas tree? Why not frame it?

I used FrogTape® and acrylic craft paint to give mine a fun ombrè look for my ombrè Christmas tree. Here’s how:

Tape off the middle section of a frame using FrogTape. I pressed down on the edges of the tape with my thumbnail in order to get a crisp clean line. 

Then I painted the top and bottom sections using my lightest paint color on top and the darkest on the bottom.

While the paint was still wet, I removed the FrogTape and let the paint dry.

Then I taped off the middle section and followed the same steps.

The frames serve as custom color coordinating ornaments themselves but they also draw the eye to the “framed” ornament. Do you have a favorite or meaningful Christmas ornament?
