To Make a Clear Glass Bathroom Accessories Lotion Dispenser You Will Need:
Clear Glass Lotion Dispenser
Stencil Brush
Stencil
Ceramic Paint or Stained Glass Paint in a variety of colors
Painter’s Tape (Optional)
Now, on to hand painting your Clear Glass Lotion Dispenser. Simply Place the stencil on the Clear Glass Lotion Dispenser to be painted. You can hold it in place with painters tape.
Next, Dip the stencil brush in ceramic paint. You may need to dab off the excess paint on a paper towel. Now, Pounce the brush on the edges of the stencil to outline the pattern onto the Clear Glass Lotion Dispenser.
Then fill in the center with a lighter application of paint to give the design dimension. See how simple it is to create great hand painted images on your Clear Glass Lotion Dispenser.
Now, if you have more images you want to hand paint onto your Lotion Dispenser you will need to let these first paint colors dry. Once the paint has dried you can lay your next stencil on and start painting again.
I recommend using a combination of free hand painting and stencils for this easy project. This will give you some uniformity, but with hands on touch that makes the painted Lotion Dispenser each unique.
Now, you can also use an artist brush and free hand any designs you want onto your Lotion Dispenser as well. You can make simple poke dot by dotting the tip of the brush on your dinnerware as well.
Don’t over look using great gold and silver metallic paints as accents to really make your hand painted Clear Lotion Dispenser formal! I like to take a run a fine then line of metallic paint along the edge of the Lotion Dispenser, on the rim. You see this look all the time in fine bathroom accessories that have been hand painted.
Tip: If you don’t like how your hand painted Lotion Dispenser is looking keep some paint thinner handy and you can use a paper towel dipped in some paint thinner to wipe the paint away while it is still wet. If a small mistake has dried you could try using a razor blade or exacto knife to scrape it off.
If you are not extremely artistic or want to create a number of uniform hands painted Lotion Dispenser you should use a stencil for this painted glass project.
You can use the same stencils that you use to paint on the wall and furniture. Just look for smaller stencils. They come in all shapes and sizes and most arts and crafts stores have tons of them.
You can also create your own unique stencil with a sheet of acetate, a black marker, and an exacto knife. Simply lay your acetate on the picture or shape you want to create. Trace the outline with you marker, then cut it out with the exacto knife.
