I’ll also add a little distress to the top part to really give it that rugged look.Established since 2003, we have been growing our business and reinvesting continually to improve our product range, stocks, and service to customers. With this part I’m more careful because I want to completely sand the lettering on my jar. Then I distress the sides and any raised edges. I always start with the top rim and then sand along the threads. To get that distressed look, I personally use 80 grit “No-Slip Grip” sandpaper that I cut into rectangles and then fold over, giving me two side to work with. Above I linked chalk paint, but if you’re using regular acrylic paints, makes sure you give each coat enough time to dry, otherwise it will peel off later on. Start with two coats of paint. Let paint dry completely between coats. After you wipe down with rubbing alcohol, wash your jars with with hot, soapy water. But if you’re using old jars that have been used for other purposes, you’ll want to give them a thorough cleaning and wipe them down with some alcohol pads. If you’re starting with a new case of mason jars, you’re good to go. After 30 minutes, turn the oven off and let the wine bottle cool down completely before removing from the oven.Once the temperature has reached 350✯, allow the glass to bake for 30 minutes.Place the glass in a cool oven, as the glass must heat gradually with the oven to avoid breakage do not place glass in a hot oven.Allow your glass item to dry after painting, and make sure that all layers of paint have dried.

Just like the steps above, make sure to follow the instructions properly to ensure you glass gets cured correctly, so it can last a while! Once your bottle is dry, grab your acrylic paints and get creative! I love painting flowers designs, or simple abstract strokes on my wine bottles. Repeat 2-3 times, changing your angle frequently, until the bottles are completely covered. Start with a thin layer first, then let dry. In a well-ventilated area, spray paint the wine bottles white. If you want to add a base color to your wine bottles, you can spray paint a white or black layer on the bottle so your colors can be extra vibrant. You can also wash your painted glass in the dishwasher, but because it’s handmade, I always recommend washing by hand. Your cured glass project can be washed 72 hours after baking.

Turn the oven off and let it cool before taking it out.

Allow your glass to dry at least 24 hours after painting.

You don’t want your mouth to come into contact with the paint when you’re enjoying wine in these glasses later. That way, you’re essentially just tracing with paint on the glass, as opposed to free-styling the writing.Īlways remember to not to get the paint too close to the rim of the glass. They have a great selection and they’re very affordable!Īn easy technique is if you want to paint words in your glass such as, Love, or Beautiful, you can actually print out the words and tape it to the inside of your glass. My top recommendation for acrylic paint is Arteza.

I find flowers and certain patterns are very easy and fun to do. As with any painting project, the hardest part is figuring out what your design should be, and what kind of technique to use with your paint.
