| Here is the one I made last year for the Fourth. It broke in half over the winter right at the bottom of the red striped. Fortunately nothing broke so I can repair it. Kathy

| Its worth a try. Some acrylic paints last out side and toehrs dont. If you are putting it on your porch that could make a difference. You could try and if it fades, repaint. I have some rocks I painted with regular craft paint that have lasted outside. Kathy |
