Painting Clear Glass Ornaments

RE: Painting Clear Glass Ornaments By TeresasCrafts (1) Profile Contact I have made a few of these ornaments and listed them in my Etsy shop. www.teresascrafts.etsy.com They are fairly easy to make and it's always a surprise to see how they turn out!

I make these every year. Posted on 12/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Painting Clear Glass Ornaments By (Guest Post) I just tried to do these, too and the paint wouldn't swirl well. It seemed to be too thick. Then, when I added more paint, it swirled but it wasted so much and the ornament cracked at the top over night while it was drying upside down. What did I do wrong? I used acryllic paint.

I swirled the paint in and left them upside down in an egg carton to dry. They looked great at the time, but the next day they looked pretty bad. They had large bare spots where the paint didn't stick. Someone told me to try rinsing the ornaments with alcohol first, but I had the same outcome. Any ideas? Thanks!

Contact I wonder if adding a little water or paint conditioner (you will find this product where the paint sprayers are) will help dilute the paint enough to swirl? I tried using 'paint' only and it just kind of sat there, I got frustrated and put the bulbs back in the box! Maybe I'll try it again and post back if it worked and how I did it the 'EASY' way :) Posted on 10/16/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Painting Clear Glass Ornaments By Mama Sage (Guest Post) My best advice is to use very little paint at a time and let one color begin to dry before adding a second color. Remember that once you let them sit, the liquid will continue to move. Make sure you put names on them if you are making them with a group because they will not be what you left them looking like when you return. Half the fun is seeing what you end up with. It really is a beautiful craft. Enjoy. Posted on 10/15/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Painting Clear Glass Ornaments By ThriftyUser (30) Profile Contact An addition to previous post. The kind of paint we used was just everyday acrylic craft paint Posted on 10/10/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Painting Clear Glass Ornaments By ThriftyUser (30) Profile Contact The kids did these in Sunday School and they came out great. We had them choose 3 colors and put in a small puddle of each all at once. Add each color on a different spot. As they were swirled around they blended with each other perfectly. We let them drain in paper cups and the next Sunday they were drained and dry. Then the hangers were put back in and a ribbon tied around the top. Total amount of paint added up to about size of a dime. The kids were so proud of their beautiful creations.

I purchased oil based paint from the craft store (came in small squeeze bottles. We matched up two or even three colors, shot about 1/4 teaspoon (you will figure out amounts after about one or two trys) down separate sides counted to 5 and swirled the ornaments, they came out beautiful. While drying we stood them with opening down in Egg cartons that we had cut apart so that each bulb had its own little nest. This removed the excess paint Posted on 10/08/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse
