🧑🎨 Expert Tips
- Surface Preparation: Lightly sand the wood slice before painting to create a smoother surface, allowing the paint to adhere better and reducing the likelihood of chipping.
- Paint Application: Use thin, even layers of acrylic paint, allowing each layer to dry completely before applying the next, to prevent smudging and achieve a vibrant finish.
- Detailing Tools: Employ fine-tipped brushes for intricate features like the bear's facial expressions, ensuring precision and clarity in the design.
- Sealant Use: Apply a clear, matte sealant over the finished ornament to protect the paint from moisture and wear, extending the ornament's lifespan.
- Hanging Mechanism: Drill a small hole at the top of the wood slice and thread a sturdy ribbon or twine through it, securing with a knot, to ensure the ornament hangs properly.
- Storage Solution: Store the ornament in a cool, dry place, wrapped in soft tissue paper, to prevent scratches and preserve its appearance for future holiday seasons.
