I’ve never painted on glass before and I’ve got a lot of old windows I should experiment on. Thanks for sharing with us at Funtastic Friday! Pinned

Morning, I saw your blog today and was very interested as I am starting a glass project this weekend, HOWEVER, I couldn’t get your sound up, turned it up all the way, and the sound on my computer, but it was not easy to hear you.

Hi Marianne, were you on a device like a phone or a tablet? For some reason, the audio doesn’t always work on these devices. You can try from a computer, laptop or a different device. I’m sorry for the difficulty.

Thank you for your information. I have wanted to try painting glass but after one case of following all the directions the paint came off in the dishwasher. Are all art deco glass paints dishwasher safe?
January 3, 2018 at 10:03 am
Yes, the paint is top rack dishwasher safe. But of course the more you wash in the dishwasher the more faded the paint will become. I would recommend handwashing if its something you want to keep in tip-top shape for a long time.

I stained my octagon bathroom window. I used gallery glass paints and found since I was doing this project vertically, the gallery paints ran; to thin for a vertical project there I used deco art glass/ enamel paints
I spent 2 days on my bathroom window
Using a liquid leading as well. It was beautiful. I say was because after 5 days my paints have run over the liquid leading, colors are fading. I can no longer see where the lead ends and the paints started. I can only guess it’s due to the hot showers. Any suggestions.
Thank you.

Hi Tina, that sounds gorgeous! I am sorry it didn’t work as planned. I think it since the window is already set you couldn’t bake the glass. Baking is what sets the paint.

Thank you for the post. Very informative. I am planning to paint on a window (one of them is a hurricane proof). How would it last with direct sunlight? As it is a prefixed window I can’t bake the class. Will that make a difference? By the way i am just about to start my glass painting journey 😁

Hi Archana! Baking the glass is what sets the paint in and makes it permanent. If you cannot bake the glass I would recommend looking for a different paint. Congrats on starting your journey! 🙂

I want to make Christmas decorations from wine bottles - a raindeer, a santa and a snowman. What type of paint to I use - and spray or brush on? I need something that is permanent and won’t rub off (or flake on the glass)
October 31, 2019 at 9:51 am
Any of the Glass Enamels will work. Make sure to bake if you want the paint to be permanent.

Where did you get a glass for painting ? can you share info ?
December 16, 2019 at 1:18 pm
Are you talking about the glass sheet? It is actually the glass from an old frame I wasn’t using. The dollar store is a great place to get frames that have glass sheets too!

Hi, my name is Louise and I recently got interested in painting on glass and dishes. I just bought a beautiful panted plate. So I was wondering once it is painted do you have to cook the glass or plate???
March 5, 2020 at 11:08 am
HI Louise! If you are using the glass paint from Decor Art then yes. Baking is how you cure the paint and make it permanent. If you use a different brand of glass paint just make sure to follow their directions.

Hi Katie,
I am making dish flower garden art for my girlfriends for Christmas gifts. Will gloss enamel paint withstand weather conditions? Also, will five month of drying/curing replace baking in the oven?
Thanks for your time,
Marie

Hello acrylic paint on glass Marie! Such a beautiful gift idea! I think the paint will withstand for a bit but may fade if it is in direct sunlight. As for the drying vs curing, I am not quite sure. Baking at high temperatures is what cures the paint and makes it more permanent. I have only followed the directions on the label and have not tried other methods.
