Instructions
-
1
Clean and dry the glass piece you are working with. Any oily residue will make it difficult for the paint to stick to the glass. - 2
Attach the design to the interior of the glass on the side opposite to the surface you will be painting. If you will just be writing words, such as"Congratulations!" this step is not necessary.
- 3
Hold your outline paste bottle like a pen. The exact position is not important as long it is comfortable for you and the tip is pointed downward.
- 4
Trace the lines you see through the glass with your outline paste bottle. You might find it helpful to start from the inside lines and move out. This will prevent you from going over the lines you have already created. Let the outline dry according to bottle instructions.
- 5
Paint in the spaces between the lines on the design using translucent paints. If you like the design without extra colors, this step is not necessary. If you are decorating a bottle or mirror and don't need any light to show through, use a solid color.
