It's not really a secret....really.
It's just FUN!
Here's my quick low-down on painting on glass.
(please note that paint can and will chip off)
I started with a copy of my image.
I attached the image on the inside of my glass jar using Frogtape.
Thank you Frogtape!
(a swag gift from Haven)
Using a paint pen, I traced over the image.
It's that easy!
Here is a shot from inside the jar.
I repeated the step using another image for the backside.
Because glass and photos never play well....
I just stuffed a red shirt inside.
I chose a Razorback for my husband.
His birthday is coming soon and this will be a gift for his office.
The possibilities are endless.
How cute would a monogram be!
Because it's for my sweetie's birthday, I filled it to the top with his favorite candies.
The image gets a bit lost with all of the candies but trust me,
It's cuter in person ;)
The jar came from Wal Mart.
Now. I know what you are thinking...
A bow?
Really?
Coming from the south, everything needs a bow!
Sorry hunny!
Now go Hog wild and paint something ;)

ReplyDeleteI love this idea!! It's been better since a Razorback. WPS your husband is going to love it.
ReplyDeleteSMART! Pinned it, thanks for the great tutorial!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! Gonna have to make me one for my desk...only with LSU instead :)
ReplyDeleteI am a Razorback! Love them Hogs! I am also an artist who paints on glass a lot. Be careful if you go back over the design, make sure it's dry or it will lift. Americana makes a paint for glass if you want more for an outline.
ReplyDeleteHe's going to love this!
itsbebe...thank you thank you thank you. I did have this problem of painting over it wet and having it lift off. Thanks for sharing those tips and I will have to check out the Americana paint. Bloggers rock!!
ReplyDeletevery cute Susie,, I've never tried painting on glass.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a very helpful tip for me. Sometimes I just "wing it" or freehand things too often when there's no reason to. If I ever paint glass I will give this a shot! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! You're right, the possibilities are endless! I'm thinking monogrammed Christmas gifts. Love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the idea. I love how your jar turned out!

OHHHH...and the gift for your hubby is adorable!! I made my guy a fathers day gift with that kind of theme in mind...sorta. I took a 6 pack of cream soda (dumped the soda in an empty 2 liter bottle) and washed them out. I filled them with his favorite snacks and made adorable labels for the fronts of the bottle and the carrier. :) It turned out too cute!
ReplyDeleteBYE!
Such a cute idea! Does he have a sweet tooth?! LOL
ReplyDelete“You can see the techniques of the knit on this style; Red Bandage Dress one day we will videotape the process of how our pieces are made. Herve Leger sale They weave the base and then hand-apply everything else. And our fit is really key. Oktoberfest Dress These pieces are more like sweaters than anything else—they’re not cut-and-sew, they’re knits—and that’s why they fit so well. People are so surprised at how well Herve Leger fits, and I tell them it’s all about how the dresses are constructed.”And finally, we dress for what we love too. For what we just can’t resist.
