Instructions

Step 1	eady your station with the materials you'll need, like paintbrushes and water cups for rinsing brushes. Use the web or your imagination to come up with a design!
Step 2	Use the Folkart Enamel Glass Paints (small paints with a wine glass on the cap) to create your chosen design. Using any other paint will not have the curing ability to be able to wash later, so it's important to use the correct paint. When you’re finished with your design, allow it to air dry until it’s able to be picked up and taken home.
Step 3	For curing the paint, there are two methods. Both of these must be done at home. *The Air Dry Method: Allow the painted glass to sit 21 days before washing. If you use the air dry method, you should not wash the glass in the top rack of your dishwasher. Hand wash only. *The Baking Method (Recommended): Place the painted glass on an oven safe baking sheet or plate and place in a COOL oven. Turn the oven on to 350 degrees. The glass MUST heat and cool down with the oven, or else it will break. Once the oven has reached 350 degrees, allow 30 minutes for it to bake. After 30 minutes has passed, turn the oven off and leave the glass inside the oven until it has cooled completely. If you use the baking method, your glass will be safe to wash on the top rack of the dishwasher.
