Let's Do This!
Step 1:
- Use black puffy paint to make a small circle at central point of glass.
- At a diagonal angle, make a slightly larger circle above central circle and slightly smaller one below it to create body of dragonfly.
- Fill circles with blue puffy paint.
- Use black puff paint to create antennae and tail.
Step 2:
- Use middle blue filled circle as starting point for large wings. Bring puffy paint outward to create oval shape and come back in to starting point.
- Repeat process to create smaller wings underneath large wings. Use puff paint to add detail to wings by adding lines or dots.
Step 3:
- Turn glass to opposite blank side to create cat tails, a paper towel or napkin can be placed inside so lines in front don’t interfere. Make 2 long stems leading down to base of glass and a long oval at the end of each stem. Add small line at top of each oval for detail.
- Use puffy paint to add in small dragonfly silhouettes around cattails. Use small “X” as base for front facing silhouette and sideways “V” for body of side view silhouette.
Step 4:
- Create stained glass paint by filling two spaces on paint palette with tacky glue. Add two drops of blue dye to one glue pile and 2 drops of purple to the other.
- Hand mix each pile of glue completely until it turns to a solid color.
Step 5:
- Paint in large wings with blue glue paint.
- Use purple glue paint to paint in smaller wings on front and tops of cattails on back f glass.
Step 6:
- Paint alternating lines of blue and purple down stem of glass to base.
- Use black puffy paint to add detail around lines at top of stem and around base.
Tip:
To get the most use out of your decorated glass, hand wash only.
