Painting Christmas Ornaments. . .

. . . is a little tricky, because they are LITTLE!

My official White House photos, along with 3 ornaments . Only the one on the far right is available ($75).
I found another small Christmas ornament, primed and ready to paint. Isn’t this a great solution for how to hang it to dry? Notice the metal clothespins inside the 2×2″ canvases.

Those little 2×2″ canvases are tricky tricky tricky. Small metal clothespins fit inside the back, serving as handles while painting and a way to secure them to the pegboard for drying. Alas, I only have 3, but there are 6 little canvases to paint.

These giant paper clips also work well. “Necessity is the mother of invention”.
The giant paper clip was also a good solution for hanging the ornament by my wood stove for drying. ($75)
Here are the completed 2×2″ canvases, minus their cute wooden display easels. ($25 each, in case you were wondering.)

All except one of these poinsettias will be available at the Perfect Gift Boutique on Friday and Saturday this week. The poinsettia paintings come with little wooden easels, perfect for those into minimalist decorating (even those into maximalist decorating).
