Instructions
-
Step 1: Clean your glass surface with water or glass cleaner. Towel dry
-
Step 2: Paint your design- Tip- Load your brush with color for this project and try to paint in one stroke. The slickness of the glass will simply push the paint around instead of layering it. Paint a thick stroke and when that dries, you can go over it.
-
Step 3: Allow painted item to dry for 24 hours.
-
Step 4: Place project in a cool oven. Your glass needs to heat gradually, so if you place your glass in a hot over, your glass will shatter!
-
Step 5: Set oven temperature to 350ºF. Once temperature has reached 350ºF, allow the project to bake for 30 minutes.
-
Step 6: After 30 minutes, turn the oven off and let glass cool down completely before removing.
-
Now the glass is Top Rack WORTHY!
