Recipe: marblized Christmas bulbs

Misc.

Delta paints (thye have asite) showed an ad with these BEAUTIFUL glass (or plastic) christmas bulbs they looked marblized. Thought I'd share in my words ...
Be aware that I have not tried yet .... no bubls availble yet ....

take clear glass or plastic christmas ornaments
rinse with vinigar and water
rinse again with clear water
let dry
take 2-3 colors of acrylic paint -- the ones I liked had this paint they called "glems" it was matallic looking
drop a few drops of each paint on the inside edge of the bulb so that the paint will run down inside the bulb place the colors should not be on top of one another you know divide the lip in 3 and put color one in one place color 2 next to it and color 3 between them both -- (hard to explain ... how did they explain it??)
now the color should be slowly running down the side
place the bulb on a paper cup with top slightly to the side
turn the buld every 5 min or so so that the colors mix gently
after all the color has reached the bottom turn the bulb so that the top is facing down and the excess paint now drips outleave for 24-48 hours as the paint in the bulb dries it will continue to "marblize"

Can't wait to try my store don't have the bublbs yet ....

If anyone else has done this let me know any tips and if you liked it!
