I was hired to paint stemless martini glasses and asked their favorite flower…daisies…perfect! This was going to be an easy one for me. I grabbed my Deco Gloss Enamels and went to it one afternoon. Glass is not my normal medium so it was fun to venture off paper and canvas and have this 3-dimentional medium to play with (and I know a great martini glass).
I decided I need to share this project and offer more glasses for sale:
STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS
- Before painting, wash the glass in hot soapy water using a soft dishcloth. Price labels and stickers usually remove easily when soaked in hot water. Rinse any soap residue away with warm or hot water, then dry the piece with a soft, lint-free cloth or paper towel.
- Freehand paint with DecoArt Gloss Enamels (Colors: White, Primary Yellow, and Hauser Medium Green)
- Doodle with DecoArt Glass Paint Pen (Color: Black)
- For a durable, dishwasher-safe finish, bake the piece to cure the paint. Place piece on a cookie sheet and put into a cold oven. Heat oven to the appropriate temperature, according to package directions. Bake for 30 minutes, then turn the oven off and leave the piece inside until the oven is completely cool.
MATERIALS LIST:
- DecoArt Gloss Enamels (Colors: White, Primary Yellow, and Hauser Medium Green)
- Doodle with DecoArt Glass Paint Pen (Color: Black)
I am going to go back and get 4 more glasses for me! I am ready to paint some more custom ones so feel free to contact me ([email protected]).
Cheers!
