Art Project
You will need :
- Frames ( All of these frames were found at Target . The green and yellow ones came in a pack together for $ 5 and the small pink one came in a 3 pack for $ 5 .)
- Glue
- Glass Paint , which you can buy at Michaels or other craft supply store
- Paint brush - Image of what you want to trace
How To : Thoroughly clean the glass according to instructions on the paint . Then find an image you want to replicate via the internet , a book , a coloring book or even your own drawing ! Print them in the size you need , according to the frame sizes you purchased . Next , place the image inside the frame . It is held in with the frame back . Then take the writer paint of your choice and trace over all the outside lines . Let it dry . Once dry , grab some paint brushes and pick the colors you want to use . Then have fun painting in all of the areas you ’ d like .
For the outlining and for filling in some parts , use this variety of paints . There are a few kinds available depending on the look you want ( frost , glass stain , opaque ).
Lastly , remove the back piece , the paper and the glass . Put some glue around the inside edges of the frame and place glass back in . Let it dry and then it is ready to hang . Now you have beautiful , handmade works of art that you can hang on your own wall / window or give away as a gift .
For most of the painting use these paints . These are available in frost gloss , crystal gloss and crystal gloss with glitter !
