Thank you, Alison, we can’t get enough of it!

Laura, we left them as they were. The acrylic paint stays on really well, and they still look great two years later. They don’t get handled a ton, though, so if yours do get handled a lot, a clear coating may be helpful.

Ashlee, do you have the fine point Sharpies? I tried the ultra fine point ones once, and they didn’t work very well on top of the acrylic paint. If that’s not it, maybe it’s a problem with the acrylic paint?

It doesn’t take very long. You only want to use just enough paint to cover the hand, and it should be dry within an hour, tops.
