Surface Preparation:
1. Remove price stickers and wash glassware in warm soapy water. Allow to dry.
2. Dampen paper towel with rubbing alcohol and wipe glass surface where paint will be applied.

Pattern Preparation:
1. Trace purse, shoe, large daisy and star shape patterns onto a sheet of tracing paper using pencil.
2. Cut pattern to fit inside glassware.
3. Tape pattern in place with a piece of stencil tape.

Painting Instructions:
1. Begin by painting on the outside of the glass any bands of color desired as a background to detail designs.
2. Paint details such as daisy flowers, stars, shoes, purses, polka dots, and stripes to accent each serving bowl. Coordinate colors and designs yet paint each bowl slightly different. Refer to photo for inspiration and design placement.
3. Have fun; be creative!

Finishing Touches –
1. Sign your name if desired and allow drying.
2. To cure the paint follow either the Bake Method or the Air Dry Method:

Bake Method of Curing FolkArt Enamels:
Allow your piece to dry for one hour to be sure all layers of paint have dried. Place the piece in a cool oven. Set the oven temperature to 350ºF and bake for thirty minutes. Glass must heat gradually with the oven to avoid breakage. Do not place glass in a hot oven. After thirty minutes, turn the oven off. Let glass cool completely in oven. Do not use for seventy-two hours.

Air Dry Method for Curing FolkArt Enamels:
Air Dry the project for twenty-one days before using.

NOTE: Food or beverages should not make contact with the painted design. When painting stemware, allow 3/4” along the top rim of the glass to remain paint free.
