Seasonal
Fall and Halloween are the seasonal cluster here: pumpkins, leaves, ghosts, and a table that only has to look good for a few weeks. Seal enough to survive packing. You do not need outdoor-grade finish for a month on a sideboard.
How to Paint Halloween Glass That Lasts Past October is the project to copy. How to Store Painted Halloween Glass Until Next Year is how it gets through the box without chipping. Start in September if you want cure time before the table goes orange.

These pieces live on a shelf for weeks, then go in a box. Seal for packing, not for a porch winter.
Wrap Before You Pack
Painted glass stacked in a bin will chip. Tissue or a towel between pieces is enough.
Start in September
Halloween and fall projects take a weekend plus cure time. October is late if the paint is still tacky.
