A Quick and Easy Guide to Painting on Glass

Hello Creative Adventurers! Today’s Creative Adventure is all about painting with acrylic paint on glass. Have you ever wanted a new glass home decor item but couldn’t find what you were looking for? I had this problem recently!

I renovated my kitchen and chose copper accent pieces to go with my red, white and grey modern farmhouse decor. But I couldn’t find candle holders for my table that I liked. So, what to do? Paint them myself, of course!

In the video below, I’m taking you along on my creative adventure into painting on glass. This process and the tips I mention can be used to customize all sorts of clear glassware. I’m thinking of votive holders, vases, decorative glass plates and bowls, etc. Please note that this process is not for ceramic items; only clear glass.

In the short YouTube video below, you’ll learn:

  • – What supplies you need
  • – How to prep your glassware
  • – The steps for painting on glass
  • – How to cure your glass so the paint stays on
  • – A few simple designs you can try
