 Hey guys, welcome back to another Monday with DecoArt and today we are going to work on painting a glass This is something I actually haven't done in a long time DecoArt sent me a set of their glass paint markers when I Let them know that I was working on the canvas that we were working on and they sent me one of every color Yay And I like them so much when I was working on the canvas I thought I'd actually try to paint on glass with them, which is what they're intended for They are a glass paint marker. Most of the colors are translucent and not opaque There are a few exceptions to that as I'm using them I'm finding that out I don't know that they actually stay on here if they're translucent or not I don't think so. They probably did on the wrapper, but I took all the wrappers off Anyway, my husband had a glass this shape that he used to like to drink his wine out of you know at Sunday dinner and We had a mishap with a dishwasher and anyway his glass broke. I was at the dollar store Yesterday and I saw this glass. It was the last one on the shelf And it's the exact same shape as the one that he loved So I thought I would buy it and try my hand at painting a new glass for him One of the things he liked about the old one that it was that had his name on it And it was advertising for a winery or something, but it happened to have Bob on it So I thought of course I will put his name on it, but he's a Freemason So I thought I'd also put the Masonic logo on one side of the glass so I took some computer paper and I printed his name in a size and font that I thought would work well on the glass and I also printed a copy of the Masonic logo and I cut them out and I taped them to the inside of the glass and Then I cleaned the glass with some rubbing alcohol here, which I have here in this push bottle Which I got on Amazon by the way And let it dry and then I started started using the printed Image on the inside of the glass as my guide of what to draw and where to draw it I started out by masking out the straight lines on the square and compass with Painters tape and that was just more trouble than it was worth so we're not going to continue to do that We're going to just freehand it because it's way easier So I got one coat on here with the image on here now I'm to the point where I want to put another coat and Outline some things add some detail, but the image is distracting So I'm going to actually pull it off. I just have it scotch taped here on the inside See, that's what it looks like that's going to bug me. So let's get that piece of tape off of there Right, so that's what we have left Now I'm going to actually whoops I'm going to put this piece of paper towel in here because it'll give me a white background and available They're really there we go clearly see what I'm doing. So now I'm going to go back with my blue pen and as you can see we need to This is dried for a little bit and I need to not only firm up my edges, but adding another layer of paint and I really Should have my reading glasses on hang on. Alrighty, that's a little bit better. I Picked the copy of the Masonic logo that I did because it's not super detailed and I Didn't necessarily want a copy of it that was super detailed. I know deco art does also make glass paints So you could get Their glass paints and do this with a brush I also know from making a couple of boo-boos that I can put some out rubbing alcohol here on a q-tip and Wipe off the glass paint If I get some in the wrong spot So one of the things I want to do is I want to outline the compass here and I'm just touching it kind of lightly over where the blue paint is already on here and kind of dry because It seems to be wanting to pull the blue paint up. So we don't want that It's not bad Because the blue paint is not really baked on here anything, you know, so Just literally sitting on the surface and again, I don't think I want to give this too much detail But I do want to give it a little bit. I see a boo-boo, so I'm gonna show you how I fix that So I'm just gonna as you push down on this bottle It brings up some of that alcohol that's inside and I have some now on the tip of my q-tip I'm just running here There we go and wipe that right off That's better. Okay So I am noticing after you have one layer on there Instead of trying to draw on top of that layer Because although it's a dry It's not baked in if you just tap the paint pen to lay some of the ink Or paint on your image that seems to work better It doesn't move the paint around it's pretty good So let's outline the square This top part is a compass, you know in math class You would have the pencil on one side and the pointy thing on the other and you would just you know make circles with it That's all that's all I remember about algebra class with the compass and this bottom part is a square Carpenters you carpenters out there know what a square is and The G in the middle does not stand for Gina somebody asked me that stands for God I would like to think it stands for Gina But it doesn't somebody asked me that one day because they looked at the tattoo on his arm and they thought the G stood for Gina I Corrected them now as you can see the gold is very opaque Unlike the blue which is I think in a big very translucent But I think the contrast between the two will be interesting once you get this all painted You have to let it dry for eight hours, and then you have to bake it per the directions on the glass paint pen package So I just hope the glass Makes it through the baking process because I did buy it at the dollar store But I think it's pretty heavy-duty glass where it seems to be pretty thick and unlike some of the glasses that you buy That's pretty good So you're supposed to bake it at 375 for 40 minutes Do the same thing down here, and let's just touch up some of the areas by giving them a little tap with the blue pen Make sure I didn't miss these spots That's pretty good want to Do a little work on the G in the center Without sticking my hand in anything if I can manage that Once it's baked, it's on there, so I want to put some We can get some blue on here. That looks good. I Want to also put all right Let's do his name on the other side. He's the one who picked the colors So we're gonna do his name in white now To get started I cleaned the surface with The rubbing alcohol and to do this is going to be tricky because I've got wet paint on the other side so I need to try to do more holding it up and Writing I don't want to rest it on the table and rub any of that other paint off and I can put my hand on the glass as Long as it's not in a spot where I need to put the glass paint pen You don't want your fingerprints or oils underneath We're gonna be drawing Or painting because then the paint maybe won't stick and of course that could freehand his name But I just thought I always think it's nice to have a guide in a project like this For spacing and maybe if you want to try You know a different font something that looks different than your handwriting. Okay, so just like the other side I'm gonna give it one coat then we're gonna pull the paper off and this is just a guide So, you know, if you end up changing the shape a little bit there, that's not a crime This is a guide Let's cap the pen and let's See if I can get my fat hand in here pull the paper off. It's pretty good. So let's get back in here with a white pen And let's make sure that we have our Decent coverage on the color and that we have our letters Nicely shaped. Okay, so now I want to go in with the gold pen again And I'm gonna outline those letters with the gold It's not good to pick a day when you've had three cups of coffee to do this. I don't think It was a little funky Okay, that's not bad, but I need to fix some of those letters a little bit So let's get that white pen back out Cuz like this oh is Got some funny spots. That's better Gotta fix the B too. Now, of course until it's a dry completely You probably could get in here if you did a really bad job with the alcohol and just wipe the whole thing off If you really are unhappy with your first try. I know that I'm not unhappy with it So we're gonna just go with it. Just keep working at it and switching back and forth between your pens Until you get it looking the way you want. Okay, that's pretty good Now it's gonna dry for eight hours before we can bake it in the oven So I'm gonna let it dry and then I'm gonna bake it and I'll be back Okay, before we come back with the glass for my husband. I also want a doodle on a coffee cup So and then this one I'm just gonna freeform it. This is a white ceramic cup again from the dollar store You could use one that you already have in your stash or you could Use one from the thrift shop And I think I'm just gonna Think I'm gonna just doodle on it I think I'm gonna use one of my paintings that's behind me for inspiration and again If you get a line on here that you don't like You can just use the alcohol to take it off. I'm using that I have painting that's behind me for inspiration I'm gonna actually turn my chair a little bit so that I can see the painting It's one that I did as part of Lifebook This year 2015 Basically, I'm just making doodles Doing a plate would be easier or something flat. I have some other colors here Make sure they're all started Yeah, start with the pink and just keep doodling until you Feel like you're done. I'm gonna keep doing that. I'll be right back. It's a coffee cup It's got to sit for about eight hours and then it can be baked in the oven and then we're good to go So we're gonna do that and we'll see how it comes out when we're all done. I'll be back Okay, guys, here are we are here we are with all the glasses that I Painted I did two coffee cups Here's one of them They've all been dried and baked and everything. Here's another I did a clear clear glass coffee cup Just with the white and Then here's the glass for my husband So I did all of these using the same deco art glass paint markers They come in a variety of colors. I Mostly used white gold black Citron yellow fuchsia Turquoise and purple. I'm sorry violet On my husband's glass. I also use the blue But they also come in green orange red brown silver and then I have an extra black and white They were really easy to use Once you're done with your drawing you need to let the glass dry for a minimum of eight hours I just left them overnight then you need to Put the glassware on a cookie sheet in your oven Then close the oven door then turn the oven on to three seventy five When it comes up to temperature if you have an oven like mine I get a beep when that happens then you set your timer for 40 minutes and When the 40 minutes is up and turn your oven off crack the door open leave the glassware in the oven Until everything cools off and comes back to room temperature and then give them a rinse and with Some warm soapy water and a soft cloth or sponge nothing too scratchy and you're good to go Now you need to do the baking steps that way because you don't want to shock the ceramic or glassware By putting a cold item into a hot oven. You'll crack the glassware So you want to make sure you bring it to temperature like that with the oven all at the same time slowly All right, that's it. I hope you enjoy this Monday with DecoArt and have a lot of fun with it these paint pens I can already tell you are going to be a lot of fun totally easy to use especially if you want to do a doodle cup like this one Very very easy.
