calendars, vases, lamps, trays and more. Glass painting (and stain glass) is
also great for revamping old and simple items. Glass painting is also a fun way
to be creative with your kids.
Nowadays glass painting is gaining a lot of
popularity due to the availability of the materials and the ease with which it
can be done. Glass painting looks beautiful when light or any illumination
passes through the transparent medium, the results are simply amazing.
Our kids did a lot of glass painting designs on various surfaces too like OHP sheets that
give a transparent look. The colours available today are vibrant and give you
the look that is desired.
Cotton can also be used to wipe off the wet
paint or outliner in case of a mistake. The most common and easiest glass
paintings designs are that of peacocks, floral and marine life. These days
stencils are also available, so if you are not too confident about your drawing,
