One Pen Can Make a difference - Pebeo Vitrea160 Glass Paint Pen

I seem to collect empty jars, I don't know why, but when we finish with a glass jar, if it has a unique shape or just a generally nice look, I soak the labels off and keep them (total hoarder) The other day I was looking at my paint water jar, so sad and boring, usually holding murky grey water, never really pretty. So I took to it with a single pen.
The Turquoise Vitrea160 Glass Pen. I didn't set out with any pre designed design. But for people who are total beginners and feeling nervous, you could perhaps sketch out some ideas before you boldy go in with a pen!

I shook my pen to get it going (keep lid on when doing this) then pumped the nib down a few times on a palette. Then simply began doodling a design all over my paint water jar.

I did the Jar in sections as I am left handed and didn't want to smudge my work as I went along. I just had fun! I had no idea what I was going to create, but I just drew patterns giving the pen every few minutes a few pumps on my palette to refresh the paint flow.

No plain jar is safe with these pens! I can also see adding tea light candles to some of the winder neck jars to make really lovely light shows! I might even do that for my next post to show you how they look at night!
I hope this very simple use for a single pen can make a colour impact on your life! I think these jars look amazing with all the doodling!

Have a wonderful weekend looking at your old jars in a different light!

Jazz up your Wine Glasses with Pebeo Vitrail & Glass Beads with Michelle

Do you have a cupboard of miss matched wine glasses? Why not make a classy set with some

Pebeo Vitrail Glass Paint, Glass Beads and a little Glass Glitter.

This is a really quick and easy way to jazz up your wine glasses.

Step 1: First clean the glass with rubbing alcohol or warm soapy water and then paint the Vitrail Gold paint onto the bottom of the glass with a dropper or brush. Add it to the base of the glass upside down and and create drips down the sides with the end of dropper/ brush.

Step 2: If you are doing a two toned colour add the second colour. I have used the noir Black here.

The beads used below turned black over the black Vitrail paint.

Step 3: While the glass paint is still wet sprinkle the glass beads over the wet paint.

 Step 4: Add some Glass glitter if you like for an extra touch of sparkle.

 TIP: Make sure it is glass beads and glass glitter that you use if you are going to bake them, plastic beads will just melt off in the oven where as the glass beads bake into the paint.  

Step 5: You don't need to bake the Vitrail paints, as they dry they set and harden. Although I have baked the 2 glasses below for 40min at 160° make sure you leave them to dry for 12 to 24 hours first.
I don't have a dishwasher to give them a dishwasher test but I would probably just hand wash them anyway. Once baked the glass glitter beads baked on really well.

Easter Lanterns

Easter Lanterns

By Natalie Wyatt 

 

Made with "Pebeo Vitrea Outliners and Frosted Paints"

 

 Well Easter is very much on it's way! Along with the cooler weather so I thought this would be a fun idea for the upcoming season, suitable for indoor and outdoor settings.

Alternatively you could recreate this design on any form of glass, window, candle-holder, plate etcetera and if you wish to re-create the design on porcelaine then just substitute the colours for Porcelaine 150 Outliners and pots of paint.

The colours in this tutorial are just a guide and you could create, add or change any of them to what's available or preferred colours.

What you will need:

• Stencil Print Out
• Bouclair Home Bali Lanterns (9cm x 17cm)
• Pebeo Vitrea 160 Paints (Frosted)
• Lemon Yellow
• Aniseed Green
• Azure Blue
• Rose Pink
• Mint
• White is optional if you want to paint the rabbit.
• Vitrea 160 Outliner in Pearl and Gold
• Scissors
• Water, Tape, Tissue
• Paintbrush (Princeton)

  * All products can be bought through Spotlight.

Print out the above image. It should be printed out at this size. Which is 8cm by 5.8cm.

Cut out the stencil shape.

 

I left a bit to overhang at the top of the image.

Take a small piece of sticky tape and wrap it on itself to create a sticky tack.

Place the tape at the top and bottom of your image.

It doesn’t matter if it covers part of your image.

Twist the bottom candle holder to take it out.

Give your glass a clean if it has marks or dust on it. 

Slip your stencil inside the lantern.

Press it up against the glass so the tape sticks your image to the glass.

This may be a bit fiddly trying to get it into place.

Your design should now be pressed up against the glass.

Prop your lantern up on an angle so you can see it better.

Start with the Pearl outliner and start to outline the eggs.

Practice using the outliner first on a scrap of paper to understand how best to use it.

Continue the rest of the egg. You may want to add your own design to the eggs.

Try your best to have all the lines intersecting so that it creates a barrier for the paint later on.

Now take your Gold outliner and trace the Rabbit.

You should now have all your lines.

Pull the paper from the glass and take it out through the bottom again.

You now have your outline.

Using the Princeton brush, laden your brush with Azure Blue paint.

Drip it onto the egg shapes; this is where the outliner barriers come in handy.

Gently nudge the paint across the section.

Now proceed with the Anise Green.

Next is the Lemon Yellow.

Then the Rose pink.

The Menthe green is next.

To create a gradient colour, fill a section with two colours.

Then using your brush, gently mix them together in the middle.

Making sure you wash your brush in between.

Repeat with the pink and yellow gradient.

These patterns look fantastic when baked.

Now that you are finished, make sure that you leave your lantern lying flat with the paint side facing up, otherwise you risk the paint running. As I had the unfortunate pleasure of experiencing! Ha-ha!

Leave the paint for 24 hours before baking otherwise you will create air-bubbles in the paint which was also an unfortunate event!

 

 

 Please send us your work or anything that you create! Thanks for watching!
