Looking for some advice....I did this last year but just with one color per ornament, let them dry for DAYSSS, put them up on the tree, and I had a majority of them where the color like "melted" back to the bottom or became very streaky - looking for ways to troubleshoot that this year...my only guess was that a) they didn't dry enough (which seems insane because I literally let them dry for multiple days) or b) the heat from the lights on the tree warmed up the paint and caused it to slide down/melt like that. Ever heard of this happening or have any thoughts/other prep tips? Thanks in advance!!
Looks like a fun craft I can do with my daughters!!
Definitely! They can have fun choosing different color combinations. Truly so easy!
Oh wow, Love it
Thanks so much!

I had the same problem! I would love to know if anyone found a solution
Is your Christmas tree LED lights or a filament light that gets warm. I've never had this issue before.
Dose the colors crack after Christmas, or does the color last for many years to come ?
Many, many years. I did these with my mom in my teens and they are still going strong 33 years later-lol!
I’ve heard a lot of people say their paint cracked the following year or the paint doesn’t dry completed and pools. Have you had these problems?
I haven't I just pulled these out this year and they look the same.
