Sometimes when you're gluing after painting, stuff gets complicated. If you paint beforehand and glue it, then make a mistake and try to peel it off, the paint's coming with the glue. On the contrary, if you paint afterwards you could even cover up the glue.
Omggg I saw a The Beatles pen.. It's amazing you are a great designer. Please make The Beatles materials because you make beautiful things and I guess nobody can't do creative Beatles materials. 😍😘
Knowing me if I painted it after I glued it together there would be paint all over the ornaments. I'd have to paint before assembly. This is such a pretty idea!
