If you are not extremely artistic or want to create a number of uniform glass kitchen cabinet doors 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.
Now, back to painting your glass kitchen cabinet doors. Simply Place the stencil on the object 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. 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 glass kitchen cabinet doors!
Now, if you have more images you want to hand paint onto your glass kitchen cabinet doors 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 glass kitchen cabinet doors project. This will give you some uniformity, but with hands on touch that makes the painted glass kitchen cabinet doors each unique.
Now, you can also use an artist brush and free hand any designs you want onto your glass kitchen cabinet doors as well. You can make simple poke dot by dotting the tip of the brush on your glass as well.
Don’t over look using great gold and silver metallic paints as accents to really make your glass kitchen cabinet doors formal! I like to take a run a fine then line of metallic paint along the edge of the glass.
You can also paint images and even flowers on these glass kitchen cabinet doors. The sky is the limit when it comes to personalizing them.
Tip: If you don’t like how your painted glass 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.
