[@thelastremaininglogicallib9320]

About 25 years ago we started a tradition of painting ceramic ornaments, usually on the 23rd of December, when my cousins, aunt's, and uncles on my mother's side get together for Christmas. Until my mid-twenties, painting an ornament was a chore, which I quickly completed without any fuss, but just to appease my mom. It was always a race between us kids to grab the easiest blank ornament (like a flat Candy Cane or Stocking) that required little to no detail. Personally, I'd paint one side only, initial and date the back, and place it in the "to be fired" box. However, in recent years I have put more effort into my ornaments. I show up with a plan and take pride in the finished product. I must say, as annoying as it was when I was a teenager, these days I get excited to see how last year's ornaments will turn out glazed and fired. Thanks mom for starting that tradition and compelling us to participate every year, even if it meant holding our gifts hostage until everyone finished painting their ornament. So that was the long way to say, I plan to paint the design from this video on my ornament this year.

[@brigitteafridi2361]

You make that look so easy!! I've finally got the nerve to start practicing, and its HARD! THANKS FOR THD TUTORIAL! They look beautiful. Maybe by next Christmas ill be good enough for gifts . Happy Holidays!

Shoot I need the paint tip things. This is beautiful to me!!!! Also interesting to watch+

[@muggywebster1117]

Its really nice that you set up the kits. Paint inventory has been a real issue in my area CT. With AC Moore gone in my area, I figured Michaels and Hobby Lobby would have some of the surplus paint, I imagine the manufacturers would want to replace that hole in business but nooo it's crazy how little paint there is at my local stores. The workers keep telling me it sells as fast as it goes up on the shelves due to COVID everyone is becoming an artist. I even went to Blick and they had a bunch of heavy bodied acrylic paint but not alot of craft paint. Although Ocean State Job Lot has paint I love and their stock seems pretty good for now but their colors are a bit limited. I feel like I need to be a paint hoarder. Although I have been told that I have enough paint to last 10 lifetimes. LOL :)

Hello and I love your work Was wondering what kind/brand of paint you recommend for plastic ornaments and glass ware??? Love from northern Missouri

[@tess8822]

What a great Idea! Also size can be an issue~Like the wine glass lace painting what is the size of the glass base and side??

[@The1952trouble]

Do you have to spray a costing to protect the paint for handling?

[@tamv1997]

Love the Ornament painting for Christmas! any chance you will be painting Easter eggs this spring? I'd love a basket full of dotted Eggs on my table for Easter Sunday!

[@tamv1997]

I want to try to replicate a 'jeweled' egg but dot paint instead of beads/tiny jewels

[@karariddle8828]

I find it practically impossible to get an ornament to dry when I coat the inside with paint or an adhesive! But maybe that's because I am in an area with 100% humidity nearly year round? Please share tips for drying if you have any! Beautiful snowflake, Lydia. Happy Holidays.

[@LydiaMay]

I leave the springy cap off and just set it on my desk to dry. I will rotate it to the other side each day and leave it there for a few days. It could be your climate. A warmer, dry place to kind of set and forget them, is best.

[@kdmiller]

Maybe a hair dryer for the last stubborn bits that won't dry?

[@sandraburmester3950]

I have tried to coat a plastic bauble before and it dried blotchi. Does the multisurface dry even? I love this baoble. Will try one soon.

[@LydiaMay]

You need to rorate them each day until dry and make sure all sides are coated. If they sit in one position, the paint will run away from the highest side leaving it looking kind of cracked. When you see that, rotate it and tap the paint back in place and leave it in that position for a while. Mine dried and was fully coated after a couple of days of rotating it that way. I hope that helps! ✌😊🎨💕

[@lynnsandberg6513]

I used folkart multi surface paint with liquitex pouring medium, about half and half. It coated really well and looked great. When I woke up this morning all the paint had fallen out of the ornament. What did I do wrong? Just wondering if you know

I wonder if you can help me with this a few months ago I braved up the courage to ask Rachel's rocks but she ignored me. I'm really hoping you can help. I used to be into pebble painting bad Depoucage until I noticed white paint turns yellow in the sun. How can you get white pebble paint without it going yellow? Also what varnish is best to use cus that can make the paint turn yellow too.
