Allow the ornaments to cool completely before painting. We decided to paint some of the ornaments white before painting our final design.
This is a good idea if you want your colors to be vivid. Any paint would work, but I used acrylic and puff paint for my designs.
We used a plastic tablecloth since we were using not washable paint. My boys loved this project and it got a little messy!
For a more mess free project you could probably use markers instead of paint.
