Rather than replacing old , faded incans

[jackfrost2]

Something I found that maybe some of you might find useful. I HATE redoing the faces on my trees ( my trees have the talking/singing faces which I made myself and each stands 6 foot or taller ) and when it comes time to replace the colored incan minis for the mouth, eyes , it gets to be a REAL time consumer AND a pain .... lol .. So , now , if any of you have the same problem ( or different one ) and you need to replace the incan minis due to the colors fading ... KRYLON makes a shaker can paint called STAIN GLASS paint and it comes in the typical colors of RED , BLUE and GREEN ( and also yellow ) . I purchased mine form a hobby/craft store called Michaels . . AND ... FTR -- they work GREAT .

Thanks for this tip. I am just getting into the hobby for next year and could not pass up the $0.75 lights at Home Depot today. Unfortunately they are all white. Might try to find the paint to make some other colored strands.

I'd be interested to hear how this turns out.
