Fearless Friday, Santa Ornament
I wanted ornaments to match these Santa face plates
that I got a while ago from HomeGoods
They are a knock off of “Old St. Nick” plates by Vietri
which sell for $64 a piece
My plates were way more budget friendly at under $8
Vietri has “Old St. Nick” ornaments too, they are $34 each!
My ornaments cost less than $1,
which means you don’t have to cry if you break one 🙂
I started with the face
If you look at the plate,
the part of Santa’s face that is showing
is kinda of a wonky rectangular shape
Next came the brim of his hat
I left a little space on each side so I could add his hair
Then long fat, slightly curved strokes for his beard
Two strokes for his mustache
Dots with the tip of a brush handle for his eyes
A larger red dot for his mouth
A pom pom for the tip of his hat and stripes on the brim
A glass makes a handy stand for the paint to dry
Old St. Nick!
Have some holiday painting fun and
Be Fearless!

Oh my goodness, Jenna! Love your Santa and the deal you got from HG. They DO look like the Vietri plates and ornament. Good job!
Thanks so much Rita!
These are very cute, and they look like you intend them to be “favors” for your guests!
That’s a great idea Linda, thank you!
I think it would be so relaxing to paint ornaments like this. You make it look easy and fun! I love topping the glassware with the pretty orb!
Thanks Leslie Anne, enjoy your weekend!
So cute Jenna, if I had your talent, I would be painting up a storm. Thank you for the darling tutorial. Happy merry weekend.
Thank you Linda, my husband used to say that I would paint anything that wasn’t moving 🙂
Old St. Nick is stunning! Thanks for the how to, but I think I will just admire yours!!!

Thanks so much Allyson!
Oh my goodness Jenna. I love the HG Old St. Nick knock off plates and they look fabulous on your table! I much prefer 8 dollars rather than 64 dollars – yikes. The ornaments are absolutely adorable, and honestly, I like them better than the originals, I must say. I think you did a fantastic job of them and there is just something about homemade that’s so special. I hope you are having a terrific week there and happy Monday!
Thank you Kim, I was excited when I found those plates, and just had to try painting that Santa face. You are too kind 🙂 Yes homemade is always special!
