purchase a clear glass christmas ball ornament and three small bottles of acrylic paint-turquiose, gray and ivory or cream at a craft store. take the metal top off the ball, squeeze a bit of the turquiose paint into the hole and let it run down one side toward the bottom, then do the same with the other two paints on different sides of the ball. fold a paper towel into a small square, cover the balls opening with your paper towel and your thumb, and swirl. you should achieve a swirly, marbled effect. continue to swirl until the entire inside is coated. depending on how much paint you have used, you may need to invert the ball over a disposable plastic cup to drain. when drained, replace the metal top. you can buy a silver paint pen and write "ZTA", your big/little's name, the date, or a nice saying. this should cost you less than five dollars.
