Take 2 at painting. Last time I did 2 coats of paint followed by 1 coat of modge podge. It was chipping by the next morning and the stickers were pealing and taking the paint with it after only a couple days. This time I tried the tissue paper decoupage someone said was easier but it was just a giant mess so I pealed it off without even finishing. So this time I tried more protectant. 2 coats of paint followed by 2 coats of mod podge, d fish stickers and then 1 more coat of mod podge. The coat over the stickers wasn't planned as the paint wasn't pealing but the stickers were so I added it. This time too much mod podge. When I cleaned it with the alcohol it got sticky and the 3rd day of cleaning paint started coming off so I pealed it last night and we are back to white. The more layers though did hold up better, very few chips. But there is no way to avoid the outside with the alcohol while cleaning the inside. So maybe 2 coats is perfect? Not sure if we will attempt paint again. We go to see Sesame Street Live on Sunday so look for Elmo stickers update soon (gotta go buy them).
