My day home children & I have made a few of these ornaments & crafts. Thank you so much for posting such wonderful patterns, easy to follow directions, & pictures. The children, myself, & their parents all appreciate your website.
I just used acrylic paint :)
I love these! I actually did it with my little one’s hand but I never painted them. I am afraid to use the wrong paint. What kind of paint did you use?
THanKS!
