What You'll Need:

- Crafter’s Closet Paint Palette

- Crafter’s Closet Tacky Glue

- Painter’s or Masking Tape
Let's Do This!
Step 1:
- Apply painter’s tape or masking tape to the exterior of the glass/jar. Make an upside down “V” shape with the tape.
Step 2:
- Choose three acrylic craft paint colors. For this design orange, red and brown were used. Mix a small amount of red into orange to make a darker orange. Mix orange, red, and brown together to make an auburn color.
- Apply paint to the triangle shaped section located below the tape. Start with dabbing orange paint to the peak of the triangle, applying the orange a little over halfway down the glass.
- Tip: Dab the brush against the glass by holding the end of the paint brush, tapping like you would a drumstick.
- Apply the dark orange color to the glass, creating a gradient by letting the paints mix. Bring the dark orange down to the bottom of the glass.
- One third of the way up from the bottom of the glass, apply/dab the auburn color, letting it mix with the orange. Tip: If needed, go back into blended areas with extra paint to create a smooth blend of colors.
Step 3:
- While paint is still wet, sprinkle gold glitter to the peak of the triangle section. Let some of the glitter trickle down. Let dry.
Step 4:
- Use a paint brush to evenly apply tacky glue to upper portion of glass.
- Pour gold glitter across the wet tacky glue. Let dry. Tip: Pour above a sheet of paper to easily collect and reuse any glitter that falls.
Step 5:
- Spray the dried glass with clear acrylic sealer in a well-ventilated area. For this design a gloss finish was used. Let dry.
Step 6:
- Remove tape slowly to avoid unclean edges.
