Supplies:
- White ceramic bulb ornaments (I got mine at a large craft store)
- Black paint pen
- Transfer paper
- Tape
- Ballpoint pen
- Scissors

Steps:
1. I typed out the letters in Word using a 50-point font size. Print and cut out; then cut a piece of transfer paper that is the same size as letter. Ever Free Coloring

2. Tape the letter on top of transfer paper onto the ornament.

3. Using a ballpoint pen, trace an outline of the letter.

4. Peel the papers from the ornament.

5. Using the paint pen, paint the letter.

6. You can do just the initials or the full name.  Then, for a pop of color, add some of your favorite ribbon on top!
