Creative DIY-Instructions: Colorful motifs on tinted glasses

Preparing and cleaning the glasses

Before you start the creative part, it is important to prepare the jars properly:

Dismantling the jars: Carefully take your jars apart. Remove all metal parts and any seals in order to have trouble-free working materials.
Cleaning: Make sure the jars are clean, dry and free of grease. This is crucial so that the colors and vinyl films adhere well later.

Designing the glass surface

Now the fun begins: with colorful motifs, you can transform simple glasses into bright highlights.

Choice of motifs: Punch various patterns out of vinyl foil using the motif punches. Hearts, stars or geometric shapes, for example, create wonderful effects.
Sticking on the motifs: Apply the selected motifs to the desired places on the glasses and press them down gently.

Apply color

Thanks to special glass paint, your glasses are transformed into brilliant works of art.

Apply paint: Use the Glass & Porcelain paint "Clear". Gently dab the paint onto the glasses. Make sure to enclose the vinyl foils well to achieve clear edges.

Leave to dry: Allow the paint to dry completely. If you want a more intense result, simply apply several layers of paint on top of each other.

Removing the foil and fixing

After the paint has dried, your artwork is given the finishing touches.

Careful removal of the films: Carefully peel off the vinyl films. Special care is required when doing this, otherwise the paint may peel off again. If the vinyl film cannot be removed cleanly, you can carefully cut it along the contours with a scalpel
Burning in the colors: To fix the colors permanently, you need to bake the glass at around 160 °C for around 90 minutes. Place the jars in a cold oven - the baking process only starts when the specified temperature has been reached.

Finishing and decoration

Cool down: Allow the glass to cool completely in the oven. This ensures that the paint becomes waterproof, dishwasher-safe and saliva-proof.
Assemble and decorate: Reassemble the jars and place a chain of light inside to really make them shine.
