USe glass paint…..found in the craft section at Walmart or at Michaels Crafts.


or craft paint in the squeeze bottles, super easy to use. You running a little late on the X-mas thing or are you early for next year???


Place a piece of clear scotch tape on ornament. Write on the tape with a thin point sharpie, than place another piece of clear tape over that so it does not smear.


fingernail polish


Read the others. You can also try writing the names on with glue and then sprinkling glitter on the glue. It’s pretty. I did that. One color at a time. I also put decorations on them, like trees, snowmen etc.


You can use any high speed etcher, a dremel with the small pointed grinding wheel should work well, or…Radio Shack sells an engraving tool that will do just as well


glitter glue, or use glue to spell out the name then put glitter over it because it looks totally gorgeous


There’s different techniques from cheap to expensive, temporary to permanent, and from easy to difficult.
• Permanent marker- cheap, temporary, easy
• Glue and gitter- cheap, lasts a couple years, easy.
• Glass paint- cheap to moderate, can last several years, easy to difficult depending on your artistry.
• Etching cream- expensive, lasts as long as the ornament does, medium to difficult use ( follow instructions carefully).
• Etching tool- moderate to expensive, lasts as long as ornament, medium to difficult use.


theres nothing a sharpie cant do
