Great tips, it's so important to pay attention to those little things that really matter so much if we want our creations to last! Especially priming, this is so important, and actually your tips works for painting plastic too! Thanks for sharing this!!

Priming is key!

I am so delighted to have found this channel! I am starting a small business that eventually will cover all my arts, craft, and writing artworks, but right now I am focusing on the natural tobacco-free smoking blend market, carving interesting traditional wooden pipes with carved relief faces, vines and things; and hand-blowing glass jars to hold the blend, and I was REEAAAAAAALLLY wanting to learn how to paint those jars! Thank you thank you thank you!

I have a clear glass vase which I am thinking of painting and decoupaging and I want to use for live flowers meaning putting water in it for as long as the flowers last Any suggestions as to what materials to use so the paint and paper napkin decoupaged won’t chip or peel?? Thanks

Great tips for painting on glass especially the tip of using primer first. I will definitely try this.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

It makes it very durable :)

[@cynthiawelch8450]

Thanks for the video. Have you tried using Fusion Mineral Paint? Prep is like yours, clean the jar & use some rubbing alcohol. Then paint directly on the glass. I have used this on glass vases and it works great. No need for primer either! :D

[@xobexstudio]

Big thumbs up! Thank you for this! Do you have a recommended sealant?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Water based polycrylic sealer

[@xobexstudio]

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Works best with chalk paint

[@Dreamziiii]

Does it have to be a primer spray or any paint primer works?

Yes, paint primer will work

Can you use hair dryer to speed up drying time

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Works best with air drying but you can gently dry with a hair dryer. Thanks for watchin Linda

What if i use matte primer spray paint on my glass box in multiple layers. Will it peel? I'm trying to understand if 1-using a paint brush is important 2-using chalk paint is important to prevent cracking and peeling of paint? I'm painting glass for the first time and the glass box will be sitting outdoor exposed to sun, rain etc.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yes that should work

[@destresswithyoga]

Is there a hack to leave most of a glass bottle clear and paint snowflakes on it? I wanted to make some for gifs and put fairy lights in the bottles. I just don’t want to block the entglass bottle with paint. Love your channel! New sub. ❤

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You could use a stencil and stencil on your snowflakes leaving the glass around it clear that might work for you thanks so much for watching

[@destresswithyoga]

Thank you so much!

Is there away to make them dishwasher proof. I use bottles to store herbs chinese and western. etrc.

[@jeanniedorsey6772]

Do you use a special kind of paint for glass? Hobby Lobby said to use enamel. I have lots of acrylic. Thanks.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

If you follow these instructions you could paint on glass with chalk paint

[@ricknowak4582]

You use a paintbrush. Good idea! I was going to spray paint mine. I have THREE Hanging light pendants in my kitchen and I wanna paint the clear glass Shade a white. So, you think I should brush paint it?

What do we seal the jars with after we paint?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Polycrylic sealer water based

[@T.Schrader]

Paint glass Clean with alcohol Dry surface Can paint chalk paint on glass Best use flat white spray primer spritz a little coat Dry well. White chalk paint paint glass Do bottom first and ry Paint on 2 light coats with chip brush, dry well between. Important! 2nd coat use chip brush. Dry well. 3rd coat use sponge dabbing on. Can paint scene on once 3rd coat is dry well.

[@carmenlheureux5435]

I can’t spray paint; I live in a small apartment in a big building. What should I do?

[@divahc1]

Try putting your item in a large cardboard box with the top/opening of the box facing you. Be sure to lay some sheets of plastic or newspaper on the floor. Open the windows and wear an appropriate mask to prevent you from inhaling paint fumes.

[@merlehalan3851]

Do you seal the glass after decorating the glass

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Yea you can I like using water based polycrylic sealer

[@mandiethompson1390]

How do you get a smooth finish with no streaks? I have tried painting jars many times and they always have streaky lines from the paintbrush.

[@OurUpcycledLife]

You can sponge on your last coat and that will get rid of a lot of streaks

[@gulizatlantissdiary4434]

Thank you 🙏🏻 ❤❤❤

[@cindysimpson6242]

How long to "really dry" between coats?

[@OurUpcycledLife]

Will really depend on your weather and humidity

[@steveusn6852]

Are you able to transfer an image to the painted bottle using mod podge and rubbing off the paper after. I've tried it and can't get all the paper off without rubbing off a good amount of paint. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

[@cchemmes-seeseeart3948]

Thanks. I needed more info than given though. A couple examples of possible base coat, but no explanation of paint type? A homemade chalk paint with it kept a mystery unless I go watch more videos? My goal is to limit time on videos, so my life does not go down the drain. It's always a turn off to me when videos play these games of intentional vagueness/ incompleteness, forcing you to actually go to more videos, etc, to actually get the answers.

[@lowerweb8466]

Hey bud, stfu, grow a backbone, the world doesnt revolve around you. Why should she dig up that old video, splice it into this one (increasing file size and render/upload time.)

[@snicketylemony]

I’m with you completely-in this case though I think she’s actually saying that the homemade chalk paint is her end goal but you can use whatever, the trick/tip part of this is using one of the spray paints she showed first Even if I’m right it wasn’t communicated super clearly
