In this video, I’ll show you 4 nerdy DIY Christmas ornaments ideas that are quick, easy, and super fun make.

MATERIALS USED:

NINJA TURTLE BALLS:
4 green Christmas balls
Googly eyes
Orange, purple, blue, red, and white paint
Paint brushes
Scraps of colored ribbon or paper
Multi surface glue

ARC REACTOR BALL:
Red Christmas ball
Blue glow-in-the-dark or UV reactive paint
Paintbrush
Silver puffy paint

STAR TREK BALL:
Blue Christmas ball
Star Trek Enterprise silhouette
Silver paint (Silver Anniversary)
Paint brush
Silver puffy paint

BB8 ORNAMENT:
Two Christmas balls of differing sizes
White paint (if your ornaments aren’t white)
Orange paint
Silver paint (Silver Anniversary)
Small silver seed bead
Black and brown pony beads
Multi surface glue

With just a little clever painting and a dash of glue, you can turn some tired old Christmas balls into some upcycled nerdy masterpieces. I turned them into into Ninja Turtles, an Iron Man arc reactor, a Star Trek silhouette ball, and a cute little BB8.

All balls I used in this video I found for a few cents apiece at the local second hand shop. Many thrift shops are selling them 10 for $1 this time of year. Since you’ll be painting most of them, the balls don’t have to start out looking perfect.

For the Star Trek silhouette, I just googled “Enterprise silhouette” until I found one I liked. Then I put a piece of paper on the screen and traced the image, cut it out, and taped it to the ball.

Merry Christmas, Live Long and Prosper, and May the Force be with you 😉
