I would scour thrift and yard sales for cheap glasses and vases and experiment with the sprays, even mixing colors. Even mason jars that you could gift would look very pretty.
Hello Michal; You can use these paints on anything that is glass.
You can find very inexpensive glassware at any Flea Markets, Yard Sales or Thrift Stores.
The Dollar Tree has Lovely glassware, for only a dollar.
I hope that you have so much fun with using these paints!!! The glassware will make the Best Gifts!!! I know that I would appreciate receiving something made with them!!!
I hope that this helps you!!!! Have fun experimenting!!! Take Care!
You can make stain glass. Purchase pre-cut or have custom sized glass cut from craft store, buy gallery glass liquid lead and a frame to fit the glass. Draw on the glass with the lead while it is flat. You can place a coloring page under it or picture and trace lines if you prefer. Then fill in the sections with your glass paint. Let it dry flat and then frame and hang over a window. The result is a Beautiful Stain Glass
You might want to use them to stencil something. Flower pot picture frame

Think I would do a stainglass piece.
I'm doing something right now with translucent spray paint and textured paint on glass. Will post the project very soon .
That type of paint looks best on glass to me.
You can take old glass bottles/jars/vase.. that are antique or intricately designed...even plain glass will do fine as well. Pour some of the paint on the inside of you glass item. Once you pour the paint on the inside, then you want to turn it upside down and twist and turn the jar/bottle/vase around and or side to side until the whole internal portion of the glass jar/ bottle/is covered. Once it is covered completely, you want to leave it upside down (on top of a cover flat surface)... As to protect the surface until any unnecessary paint can drip out completely. Once it is dry... you can put it in the oven at 250 degrees for about 20 minutes. But it's very important to start from a cold oven and let the temperature raise up with the glass bottles/jars/vases inside the oven as the temperature increases. When 20 minutes has passed, turn the oven off and do the same thing you did to start... but in reverse. Let the glass items stay in the oven...as the temperature decreases to zero degrees. Once they are completely cool in the oven...you can take them out and they will be "set" and you can use them as beautiful displays in windows and with that type of paint, the sunshine can come through your window or in the room and I think you will find the effect on the glass jars or bottles is beautiful! After you do this with a few of them, you may even find that you can mix paint inside one bottle with more than one color and create kind of mottled or tie dye effect. Either way, I don't think you can mess this up and I think it would look very, very beautiful....and if you do not want to do the oven portion...to set your paint inside the bottle or jar, that's okay. You do not have to. Just remember not to use it for any objects with water on the inside, because if it is not cured and set with the oven, it may not keep the paint in place. So you can do this without the oven step at all. Ihope this makes sense and I hope it helps!
I do not see the paints.
Have some old silk flowers try and lightly dusting them in different colors makes a wonderful new Arrangement the frost would be the very last thing you would want to very very lightly touch with this have a wonderful one
You certainly picked the most beautiful colors, whatever you wind up doing with them!
Purchase dollar store picture frames for the glass and frame. Use freehand design or use a coloring book design, trace and use the glass paint. If you want to do a faux stained glass piece, use a gray or black puff paint made for that purpose to follow the trace lines. (I've made my own trace paint in the past by using Elmer's Glue mixed with dark gray to line.) You must be sure to allow everything to dry very thoroughly.
I love Katherine Ann's suggestion....if you get smaller glasses ( check Good Will) you can make lovely candle holders...unique gifts. I have also used glass christmas bulbs ( will be able to buy closer to the holidays at Michaels)). I have always used more than one color for a marbled look. Beautiful colors!
You can do anything you like. Blow up an image from a favourite photo or linear drawing. Tape some graphite tracing paper onto whatever you are going to paint on, then tape the image on top of that. Next use a ballpoint pen & press down hard to transfer the image through the tracing paper. When you're done you'll have a linear drawing & you can just "paint by number" using your craft paints. The possibilities are endless.
Hello Michal; Thank-You!!
I have further researched your question, and from what I have found out, the paints will work on hard plastic. tiles, mirrors, and ceramic's.
On a personal note, I would cover the painted area with a clear coat, so that it will stay on the items that you paint on!!!
I hope that this helps you!!! Have fun creating!!! Take Care!
If you don't trust free hand painting, use stencils to apply design. Tape down tight especially if object is rounded. Our group just finished painting some large aprons by using stencils and dabbing paint on. Also using the dab or paint we did some umbrellas last year.
Oh! What I would do with those ! My husband does glass professionally and occasionally brings home antique window frames with the glass intact (although I've seen them in antique shops for $20-$30) and we have them hanging and decorated in various ways all around our home . I would find one and use a pencil to free hand a floral or geometric design on one side , turn it over and use it as a guide to paint . You can use painter's tape for clean lines . I think you can even buy self adhesive faux lead stripping to make it look like stained glass . I'd have to ask the hubby where he got the one he used to do our bathroom window . I'm pretty sure he got it at Home Depot .
