    :oops: I want to paint some tree baubles for Christmas as i haven't painted in a while and will give me a nice project to work on, but I have a problem! How do I hold the ornament whilst I paint it, I want to do some painted all over and some with just an oval aperture. I am probably being incredibly dense as I cant think of the best way to do it. Thank you for your patience :-D

    Not a stupid question by any means as I had the same problem a few years back.

    I took the end of the bauble, where you hang it up, and stuck it into some oasis (used in flower arranging) this held the bauble steady and allowed me to paint the whole thing without a problem. :stew1:
