Crafty: Painted Boxes + FAIL

So my mom was shopping and noticed a bunch of wooden boxes on sale. Being the awesome mom she is, she bought several for me to paint! :) 

They all turned out quite nicely I think... EXCEPT

FOR

                  THIS >:(


THIS is what happens when you coat THIS box with red and white acrylic paints and then try to seal THIS with clear sealant spray.
The red runs. 
Even though it had been dry for 48 hours. 
Go figure.


Anywhooo, if anyone wants to buy a wooden box, feel free to make a request. But please don't ask for red and white! LOL
