Instructions
- Watch the Video. Follow along with the video tutorial to see exactly how to create these oversized peppermint ornaments from start to finish.
- Paint the Burner Covers. Spray paint the tops of the burner covers white. Allow the paint to dry completely before moving on to the next step.
- Transfer the Peppermint Design. Print the free peppermint template and place carbon transfer paper underneath it. Trace all of the peppermint sections with a pencil to transfer the design onto the burner cover. For the large burner cover, tape the two printable pages together before tracing.
- Paint the Peppermint Sections. Use a fine paintbrush to outline each transferred section with red acrylic paint. Then switch to a wider flat brush to fill in the peppermint stripes. Plan on applying a second coat around the edges to fully cover the carbon transfer lines.
- Create the Ornament Hanger. Cut a length of braided twine for each ornament. If the twine has creases from packaging, smooth it with a mini heat press or iron. Tie a double knot at both ends.
- Attach the Twine. Glue the knotted ends of the twine to the back of the burner cover using E6000. Hold the twine in place with painter's tape while the adhesive cures.
The Finished Peppermint Ornaments
These giant peppermint ornaments make a cheerful statement anywhere you decorate for Christmas. Hang them on a wall, lean them on a shelf, display them as oversized ornaments, or even turn them into peppermint yard stakes with a few wooden dowels.
Their slightly hand-painted finish gives them a cozy homemade charm that’s perfect for vintage-inspired holiday decorating.
If you prefer perfectly crisp lines, you could also cut the peppermint sections from red adhesive vinyl with a Cricut instead of painting them—but honestly, I love the handmade look!
