Christmas craft: acrylic paint on glass ball ornament, how do I protect the paint from scratching?

Is there something I can put as a coat over the paint so it doesn’t get scratched off, or will the paint harden more and more over the days?
I don’t know if it’s worth mentioning, but I will need something that doesn’t leave a film. It’s a clear glass ornament I’m using.

I really don’t know much about crafting!

    Krylon makes a clear poly spray. Hang ornament somewhere safe and mist it gently twice letting it dry between coats. Make sure it is where the poly won’t get on anything when it overmists. I use a large box to spray in out on the patio with no wind.
