Back in November I painted/glittered up some clear bulbs for the Christmas tree. I simply took some acrylic craft paint and swirled in the various sized bulbs and let dry. When we took down the Christmas tree (the tree came down the first week of January - not now!) I noticed that almost every bulb had done this...
It literally looks as if the paint cracked away from the glass. I thought a minute... was it because it was near a vent? Nope. In direct sunlight? Nope. Did the lights on the tree do this? I doubt it because I felt the bulbs and they didn't even get warm. So why did this happen? My paint was new, I liberally applied it so it wasn't a "thin" layer, and I let it dry for two weeks almost before putting on my tree.
I was going to attempt to make additional ornaments similar for a Easter tree.... but I don't want to waste my time if this might happen.
Does anyone know what could've happened?
