Yesterday I decided to pull out the glass paint from

way back in the cabinet, wipe the dust off and

paint glasses. My thing is daisies this summer..can't

get enough of them..so

I decided to paint daisies on these two glasses.

It has probably been 3 years since I painted on

glass. Some of the paint was dry but lucky for me

the yellow, white and brown was still good.

Wipe the glasses with vinegar to remove oils and

whatever may be on them...do not have lotion on

your hands..I hold the glass by the top and sometimes

put my hand in it to hold in place.

It took about 20 minutes to paint these two glasses.

Into a COLD oven for 30 minutes..set temp @ 325..

at the end of time turn off oven, I open the door because

I don't want to wait for the oven to get cold with the door closed 

before I can get them out.  I usually let them age for a

couple days before I clean up whatever spots are on

them...with vinegar.

A quick and easy project.  If you have never painted on

glass, give it a try...it is very forgiving..just keep

the vinegar and cotton swab close by.

I used Delta Perm Enamel and Apple Barrel Indoor-

Outdoor gloss acrylic enamel. I prefer the gloss

paint over the satin finish. Do Not use water base

acrylic paint. Soap and water or brush cleaner can

be used to clean brushes but clean them immediately

after you finish painting.

I always wash my painted glassware by hand.

 

Total cost $2.00 @ at Dollar Tree.

I think I will go back and get a few more glasses.

That was fun!!
