Glass Painting

Do you have an old picture frame lying around? Need something to do? Then try glass painting!


Glass painting is fairly simple. All you need is a few materials and some creativity!


Materials:

  • A piece of glass

  • Glass cleaner

  • A permanent marker

  • A reference picture

  • Acrylic paint

  • Paint brushes


Instructions:

  1. Find a picture you would like to use that would fit your piece of glass. I got my picture from Pinterest. If you'd like you can freehand your drawing as well.

  2. Clean your glass.

  3. Place your picture under your glass.



4. Trace your picture with the permanent marker on top.

5. Flip over your piece of glass and start adding what you want in paint! Mix and choose your colors and heavily to add a thick layer of paint.


6. Let the paint dry for a long time (I waited until the next day for it to be dry).

7. After it's dry, turn it over and admire your work! If it needs touch ups, that's ok. Add some more paint until it's to your liking.



I hope you enjoyed this craft, it's a fun way to recycle glass and turn it into some art!
