How to Paint Glass


Start with a clean, dry surface. If you want to use a pattern, tape it to the inside of the glass. With an artist's brush, follow your pattern, applying a thin layer of glass paint; this will yield a translucent, stained-glass look. For a more opaque finish, apply an additional coat after the first is dry. Paint slowly and gently to avoid bubbles. Using an artist's brush, seal the design with glass-paint varnish. If you're going for a pretty, frosted-glass appeal, use a varnish with a matte finish.
