Christmas Wish Ornament is a wonderful way to show gratitude or what you wish for this season. Create a Christmas ornament that you write down all things you are thankful or hoping on for this holiday season. Fun games your kid wants, being together for the holidays, or any other wish that comes to mind.
This is a very similar to my gratitude pumpkin for the Thanksgiving season. Help your family learn how to be grateful and thankful in a fun way.

How To Store Wet Ornament So Paint Pen Won’t SmearNow, the paint pens will need to have time to dry. So I find that making sure you have an area to place your ornament where it won’t roll. Use an egg carton or muffin tin to sit your ornament in.
This works like a charm, and then once the paint is dry on the ornament, then hang on the tree.

What Are The Best Type of Ornaments To Use
I recommend that you use an ornament that is white or silver. Try to stay away from glitter ornaments that are glitter on the outside. If the glitter is inside, then you can have a clean surface to write on.
If the ornaments are different colors you will find you might need to use a white pen instead of colored if it is say a black ornament.
