INSTRUCTIONS
NOTES:
Let the Glass Paints dry completely before embellishing with Glass Paint Markers.
- Gather the supplies.
- Clean the glass decanters and their tops with rubbing alcohol and a paper towel. Allow to dry well.
- Position the Between the Lines stencils on the decanters to spell out "BAR" and secure with tape.
- Use a cosmetic sponge to tap Glass Paints into the open stencil areas: Use Turquoise for "B"; Coral for "A"; and Mint for "R". Let dry completely.
- Once dry, use Blue Glass Paint Marker to draw swirls on "B".
- Use Fuchsia Glass Paint Marker to draw triangles on "A"; then dot with Black Glass Paint Marker.
- Use Turquoise Glass Paint Marker to draw circles on "R" and then dot with Yellow Glass Paint Marker.
- Repeat the Glass Paint colors on the decanter tops using cosmetic sponges. When dry, embellish the tops with Glass Paint Markers.
- (These decanters had grooves framing the center.) Use Glass Paint Markers to fill in the grooves. If your decanters don't have grooves, draw lines forming a frame around the letters.
- To make tassels, cut a 3" square from cardboard. Wrap ribbons around cardboard a few times.
- Tie the ribbons in the center and then use scissors to cut the bottom loops.
- Use piece of narrow ribbon or embroidery floss to tie around the top section of the tassel. Knotthe center ribbon to form a loop. Hang over the decanter neck.
