The holiday season is the perfect time to get creative, and DIY Christmas ornaments are a fun and festive way to make your tree sparkle! Start by pouring a little bit of poly finish inside of the ornament and swirling it around to coat the interior evenly. Turn the ornament upside down to let any excess drip out.
