Glass Painting with Gallery Glass and FolkArt Enamels

Hi everyone

Do you love painting on glass or other slick surfaces? Do you love the idea of creating your own stained glass effects on windows, mirrors and doors? If you do, or you'd like to have a go at these hugely popular crafts, then we have just the products you need!

Gallery Glass, from Plaid, is a range of paints specifically formulated for use on glass, perspex, plexiglass, acetate and more. Available in a great range of colours, you can create everything from suncatchers to stunning stained glass effects on your windows! There are also strips of faux leading, called Redi-lead, for a true stained glass effect, together with liquid leading in black, gold and silver for filling in little gaps between pieces of redi-lead or for providing hand drawn outlines and definition in your pieces.

You can even make your own clings.  Just draw your design onto a piece of glass and then paint it. Peel it off and apply it where you want it. If it's applied onto glass then it can be removed later but if you apply it to acetate, or any other plastic surface, then it cannot be removed.

Then there is FolkArt Gloss Enamels, which again are specifically formulated for use on glass and other slick surfaces including metal, to create the look of enamel. They are opaque with a lovely gloss finish once dry which is durable and scratch resistant, and once oven-cured they are even top-rack dishwasher safe!

You can create all sorts of beautiful home decor pieces with these paints, either for yourself or to make unique gifts for others, so why not give them a go?
