Could you repaint your picks? I've repainted a couple items myself and "resealed" them, but I admit, some weren't as pretty as the original.

Yes, apparently using the Krylon spray requires respraying every year. I wish I could repaint the picks, but they are made of a soft, velvety type of material. It might be possible to dye them I guess, but given the mess and expense of trying to dye them, which may not even work, it would probably be just as well to purchase new poinsettia picks next holiday season. The sun was reasonably bright as I put them back out. I should have known better than to do that before I could respray them. Oh, well, lesson learnt I guess. I will not do that again.
