🎨 How to Decorate Your Ornament

This ornament is designed for easy decorating! Because the ceramic surface is smooth and glossy, the best results come from paints that adhere well to non‑porous surfaces.

Recommended paints:

• Acrylic paint pens (best option — smooth, vibrant, and kid‑friendly)
• Acrylic craft paint (brush-on paint works beautifully for larger areas)
• Acrylic or oil‑based paint markers (great for details and outlines)

Not recommended:

• Watercolor
• Tempera
• Washable kids’ paint
• Chalk paint

These paints do not adhere well to glazed ceramic and will wipe off easily.

Drying time:

• Acrylic paints typically dry within 10–20 minutes
• Thicker applications may require up to 1 hour
