🖌️ What You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll want to have before you start:
-
MamaHive Glass Paints & 3D Outliner Pen — safe, non-toxic, and super beginner-friendly
-
Glass or acrylic items — cups, jars, vases, frames… anything you want to decorate
-
Brushes — small ones for details, bigger ones for filling in color
-
Rubbing alcohol or glass cleaner
-
Paper towels or cotton pads
-
(Optional) A sketch or printed design to guide you
💡 Tip: Make sure your brushes are clean and the glass is smooth — it just makes the colors pop.
🌿 Step 1: Clean Your Glass
Give your glass a good wipe down with alcohol or cleaner to get rid of dust, fingerprints, and grease.
A clean surface makes the paint stick way better and keeps it from peeling later.
🎨 Step 2: Plan Your Design
If you’re new to this, tape a sketch behind your glass, or just freehand something simple.
Simple shapes like leaves, hearts, or geometric patterns look awesome and are easy to pull off.
💧 Step 3: Start Painting
Now the fun part!
-
Use your 3D outliner pen to trace the lines
-
Small brushes for the details, bigger ones to fill in the color
-
Mix or layer colors if you want a cool stained-glass effect
-
Don’t overbrush — it can get streaky
💡 Tip: Let each color dry before adding the next so nothing smudges.
☀️ Step 4: Let It Dry
Set your piece somewhere clean and ventilated and let it dry for about 24 hours.
Once it’s dry, your colors will shine and look glossy — especially when the sunlight hits it.
