Now it is time to use the clean ornaments
I make bunches of these every year. I have a tree full of them, tradition is when someone stops by, they get to pick an ornament off the tree. This year I really tried hard not to do so many ones that look like fire (my favorite) Really easy and great looking.
if you find already decorated ornaments, or scratched up ones at a yard sale or second hand store, here is how to turn them into clear ones.

i use regular acrylic paint. once my ornaments are cleaned out, i use a little bleach on the inside and then rinse thoroughly.
i had a brainstorm and used automatic dish washer detergent, since it doesn't leave drip marks. well, whatever helpst the waterspots stay gone, doesn't let the paint adhere.
the key is to make sure the interior is clean, rinsed, and totally dry.
i had a few that the paint peeled from, but i was a bit over zealous with the paint, and it didn't dry.
after they sit upside down for at least three or four days, i put them in a carton and leave the top off for week or two. longer doesn't hut. it allows the paint to dry.
the key is leaving that little top off for more air flow.
