Colours add meaning to life. It is an
undeniable fact that colours always grab your attention and make you appreciate
the beauty of them, regardless of how old you are. Now when it comes to getting
creative, you can do wonders with some colours.
In this week’s release, we tell you how to
make some beautiful, colourful dotted glass tumblers that you can use not just
as a decorative piece of art in your own house but also gift it to your near
and dear ones.
Things you will need:
-Enamel acrylic paint—red, blue, green,
white, yellow.
-Two/ Three glass tumblers
-Cotton swabs
-Paper towel
-A parchment paper
-A sheet pan
Steps to make colourful dotted
tumblers:
1.
Arrange all your items in one
place, and choose the colours of acrylic paint that you want to use in your
tumblers
2.
Take a sheet of paper towel and
fold it evenly into half. Pull out dollops of each colour from the acrylic
paint containers on the paper towel.
3. It is up to your creativity
when it comes to mixing colours. You can keep it simple or try experimenting,
additionally, adding white to them to get some more new colours that you would
like on your tumbler.
4. Take a sheet of parchment paper
and place it properly on the sheet pan. Now flip your glass tumblers
upside down on the pan, and dip your cotton swab into the colours and start
dotting the tumblers. This will be your first layer of dots. As you are done
with one tumbler, keep it aside to let it dry while you continue working the
same way on the other tumblers.
5. After you are done with the
first layer of dots and it is dry, start with the second layer, experimenting
with your desired colour combinations. Be careful to dot from the base to the
sides of the tumbler, and avoid getting closer to the edges.
6. As soon as you are done with
the double layering and you are sure that the paint has dried up, insert the
pan inside a cold oven and bake your creation at a temperature approximately at
350 degrees Fahrenheit, for around 20-30 minutes in order to set the paint.
7. Once you are done with the
baking, let it cool down for a while before you flip them. And there you have
it! Your own DIY colourful dotted glass tumblers. Gift them to your friends or
keep them as a show piece.
