3) Using a pencil, draw very light lines on
one side of the disk as pictured below.
You will be drawing six curved lines.
4) Once the lines are drawn on one side of
the disk, continue them onto the side of the
ornament. Then, draw the same lines onto the
back but be sure they line up with the lines on
the side.
5) You now have six sections on each side of
the disk. On one side of the disk, paint
every other section red. You will have a
pattern of alternating red and white sections.
Let dry completely then continue the paint onto
the corresponding side sections and then onto
the other side of the disk. Once dry,
apply another coat of paint if necessary then
let dry completely.
6) Paint white dots on the red sections.
An easy way to do this is to dip the end (not
the bristle end) of a paint brush into white
paint then touch it to where you want the dot.
Reload the paint after every one or two dots.
Paint a big white dot in the center of the
peppermint where the swirls come together. Paint
squiggly pink lines down the center of the white
sections. Let both sides dry completely before
continuing.
7) Cut a 9" square of cellophane and wrap it
around your peppermint cutting a small hole and
threading the hanging string through the hole.
Gather the extra cellophane on both sides of the
peppermint and tie each side with an 8" piece of
thin ribbon as pictured.
Our green peppermint was made slightly
different than the red and white one. I
made four sections each of green and white
instead of three each. While the green
paint was still wet I sprinkled Glamour Dust (a
very fine glitter) on it then made a big red dot
in the middle of the ornament and little red
dots on the white and finally tied the
cellophane with gold ribbon.
