To Make Glass Artwork, you have to Use glass jars found at yard sales or Goodwill to create whimsical representations to give as gifts or use to decorate during the holidays. Once using a wine bottle or jar in this project, you need to ensure to clean all labeling off the bottle thoroughly and choose jars that do not have embossed or etched writing. You must gather the clean jar and paints and select a design. You should cover the entire jar with a white acrylic paint to start. You can Use a Chinese marker to draw your design on the jar if you cannot paint it directly on the jar.

Once painting a motif on a mirror or jar, you have to apply the paint using small brush strokes. You need to wait for the paint to dry between layers prior to apply additional detail. After the design is completed, you must be careful not to scratch the paint. You should apply the decoupage sealer or varnish immediately to seal the design on the mirror or jar. To make the images dishwasher safe, you can use heat cured glass paint.
