Next, I combined Blue Calico Martha Stewart Frost Translucent Glass Paint with the spray medium that came in the Glass Spray Paint Kit. I first prepped a clear, cylindrical vase by cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. I was sent all sorts of goodies to try out: While I love crafting, I had never tried painting glass or using stencils or silkscreens until last month! Thanks to Blueprint Social, I was able to try out Plaid’s new Martha Stewart glass paint, and I’m quite happy with the results! My kids were also able to create beautiful hand painted glass vases to bring to their school teachers. The butterfly’s house is Chipotle Martha Stewart Gloss Opaque Glass, and the purple grass is Pacific Iris Martha Stewart Gloss Opaque Glass. The butterfly is silkscreened on with Antique Silver Martha Stewart Fine Glitter Translucent Glass. All of the vases started off clear like this one.

My Amaryllis won’t be blooming for a while, so I would like to share some flower photos of the wonderful gift you’ll be giving: Once your pots are completely cooked and done, visit your local nursery for some good quality potting soil and amaryllis bulbs. To completely “cure” the piece, you can let it air dry for 21 days OR cook it in the oven according to the directions. You’ll also want to let your newly painted design dry. It will need to dry for 20-30 minutes before using it again. When you have completely covered the silkscreen with paint, immediately remove the stencil and wash with warm water. I ended up starting at the top of the stencil and painting in a downward motion.
It’s best if you go one direction when spreading the paint. Once it’s in place, squirt a small amount of paint directly onto the silkscreen and begin spreading it using the squeegee. Smooth it over the pot and make sure it’s clung to the ceramic and that there are no air bubbles. Start by placing the silkscreen directly on the pot in the desired position.
