Glass Deco Art Is Fun!
One of the fun activities you can do with your kids at home is to be creative with glass deco art. Glass deco art is is an art activity to produce decorations that can be applied on smooth surfaces such as glass, marble, or cans.
To make glass deco, you must first draw a picture using a special paint for decorating glass. This painting can be made by applying colors on plastic or glass placed over a pattern. Then, after finish giving colors, you just have to let the painting dry in open air.
Once it is dry, you can remove the painting from the glass or plastic surface and apply it on other surface that you want to decorate, such as glass, glass, tiles, smooth plastic furnitures, cans, and others. This way, you will get charming decoration with an easy way.
Who can use glass deco paints?
Children over 3 years old and adults can make paintings using glass deco paints. The paints used in glass deco art is sticky, it is easy to attach to surfaces and get harden on hands or clothing. When the paint get in the eyes or other open body part, immediately wash it with water. Using workshop apron while painting is highly recommended.

Tips for Glass Deco Painting
To produce a beautiful glass deco painting, you can follow these few tips:
- Do not apply the paint too thin, put a little bit thick paint over the patterns. You must do so, because when the drying process happens, the paint will thin out by itself.
- Use black paint to make outlines of the image so that the resulting picture will look more attractive. First of all, make the outlines and let them dry in open air. After the outlines are dry, put the apply other colors.
- Remember that thicker paint takes longer drying process, but the result is better than thinner paint. Thin paint will make the picture difficult to remove from the glass / plastic and it is easily torn before being applied to another surface.
- If there is any color mistake, use paper napkin to remove it. Do so gently, then override the surface with other color that you want.
