Would these hold up for outside use? I am thinking to decorate a chain link fence but not if they will crack or fade

I don't think that they would hold up to the weather at all. They are simply meant to place over a page and help someone read more easily.

Yes! They'd be quite suitable for outdoor play! Buy PLENTY !! I want to add to the set I bought my grandson; he loves them!

We have the red-coated chain on our swings and it has faded maybe a little after a year. Our swings are in the shade part of the day so that may be why they haven't faded. Not sure. Maybe yellow would do better in the sun. We have the yellow in the garage and that looks brand new.

I would think so; they are a thin vinyl & stick pretty good to the wall. I don't know how they would hold up outside to the elements.

It should work. I'm not sure the total distance from your fence to your house. They cannot be exposed to the sun or rain. I do not recommend using outside on a fence.

They're quite structurally sturdy, however, I'm not sure how the faux chrome finish would hold up in the elements. Personally, I wouldn't leave them outside.

I would guess they would not hold up in outdoor conditions. I bet they would peel over time.

I have never used them for outdoor projects. Once dry it takes a lot to get rid of acrylic paint, so my guess is it will last you for a while, but just to be sure you could put a layer of clear outdoor paint on top of it.

No. They are canvas and would not hold up to being outside for that amount of time. They are perfect for their intended use.

Mine remain outside, but under an awning so they are not constantly exposed to sun and rain. No fading or deterioration has occurred.

I wouldn't trust them to be weather resistant, the item isn't marketed as such and what you see in the picture is what you get, the connections would be at risk of damage if they were to get wet.

If you are adhering them to a very clean, flat surface, they should hold up okay. My concern, as you said, is if they get wet. I wouldn't put a lot of faith in them if they DO get wet as they're not really made for that. You could always use epoxy or a small screw to adhere them to the surface and that would likely rectify the issue of them potentially getting wet. Check your local home depot or lowe's, they probably have something better for your application than this.

I KEEP mine outside but under a covered porch...the finish on them is minimal so if I were you I would put a coat of polyurethane on them. The wood seems solid enough to put outdoors.

I think so, however it would likely wear away with extended outdoor use. They are a very soft copper, a ball point pen will engrave it. We did that first and traced over them with a sharpie, keeping the sharpie in the track created by the ball point pen.

Absolutely not. I had some that got a little wet, and I noticed they will probably fall apart pretty quick. I used them indoors at a flea market, and they work great for that. Sun, rain, weather, will probably not have them around long. As someone else pointed out you will probably want some sort of plastic tag with a Sharpie.

Yea I think it would work fine for an outdoor sign. It is on the thinner side so it probably wouldn't last for super long

If they are good batteries they should last a year or more, very easy to hang very soft nice light glowing colors I had about 12 of them in my backyard last year, from an awing you might have to use a flexible wire to make a good hook connection however, if a storm comes up with high winds I would take them down or heavy snow The glass panel is easy to wipe off with a soft cloth or I use my finger&#127803;
