Mely

Hi all... id like to try and paint some personalised shot glasses, for my wedding guests. Ive never done this before,so could anyone advise me on what glass paint to get, as i dont want it to flake off etc.And preferably easy to use!
Also does anyone have any pics of designs that i could do?
Any help much appreciated! xxxxxxx

my mum did glass painting as a hobby (one of many lol) she used one that you can peel off. it was from qvc. no idea of name lol but will try and find out. she made her friend a little woodstock for her car and its still intact 2 cars and 6 years later

I'm aware of a product called Pebeo Cerne Relief which you use to draw on glass; this one ends up in a raised pattern. In fact I've just found my tube of gold- ready to draw on Christmas baubles (not a recent purchase I must admit :rolleyes:). There's a shop near to me (Manchester) called Fred Aldous- full of crafty things, have a look on their website to see what's out there.

Any local craft shop should have something useful- even the big sheds like Hobbycraft will have something. How many glasses are you doing? Keep your design simple is my advice! Good Luck!

Thanks for the advice...i shall look in a craft shop (if we have one here as its quite rural). Otherwise i shall have to buy online...would probably be easier anyway! I have 20 glasses to decorate (small wedding).

I have no idea what they are called

However, there are 2 types, you need the type that doesnt wash off, I think you put it in the oven to set it!

I would keep the design simple, make a stencil, which you stick to the inside of the glass, draw the outline, with the raised outliner, and then flood the centre with colour, using plenty of plenty to avoid brush strokes.

I did an evening class many moons ago!

Excellent advice! All i need now it to know the name of the paint that doesnt wash off:rotfl:
