INSTRUCTIONS
1 Begin by degreasing the outside of your glasses using alcohol or soapy water and then leave to air dry or dry them thoroughly.
2 To create an abstract spotty design on your tumblers, use a fine artist’s paint brush to apply random blobs of glass paint to the exterior surface of the glass. Don’t be tempted to apply too much paint at once as it may run. If you want a more opaque finish, allow the first coat of paint to dry and then apply a second layer.
3 To create a delicate floral design, begin by painting simple floral shapes on the outside of the glass using three different shades of glass paint. Allow to dry.
4 In between the flower motifs, use a tube of gold outliner paste to carefully draw a curving stem leading from the base of each flower. Allow to dry.
5 Using green glass paint and an artist’s paintbrush, draw a simple leaf shape on either side at the base of the stem and allow to dry.
6 To create a gold rim at the base of the glass, begin by placing the glass on a sheet
