Craft a stunning handmade card with these easy glass painting kits
Glass painting is a real passion of mine and over the years I shown so many people simple glass painting techniques. Glass painting is really such a doddle with good instruction that you'll wonder why you never tried it before. If you haven't, this handmade card glass painting project is a real delight.
I've talked of the the quality of craft activity packs before, so you'll be used to my concerns. If you're a first-timer, it really pays to buy into a reputable craft publisher who knows their subject and how to explain it. In the long run, taking a bit more time to get used to a layout really does pay, because the chances are you'll be familiar with it the next time. Which will make further projects all the quicker.
The Glitter Pocket Card glass painting project has it all:
- Instructions
- Designs
- 4 glass paints (red, yellow, blue, green)
- Artist's small paintbrush
- Outline pen
- Acetate
- Gold glitter
- 3 fold card
The steps are small enough so you can get going quickly. Yet comprehensive enough to give you the information you need.
If simple glass painting projects is what you're after then you'll also find the Acetate and Foil 3 fold Card a joy.This too has all the specialist materials you need and making it up is really easy.
The painted design is backed in foil which gives the vibrant color of the glass paints an added sparkle. Absolutely everyone I've ever taught this too loves it. It's been a success with all age groups and the joy is that you don't have to be able to draw as it's a simple tracing process using the thin outline pen that's included in the pack.
If you're not sure which to start with I'd recommend the Acetate and Foil Card as it's slightly less fiddly. But both are sure-fire winners. Two simple glass painting projects to add to your handmade card repertoire.
