Glass painting is a lot of fun. You can paint so many different things using glass paints. Since, glass paints are not only used for making decorative wall arts and frames. You can use them to make calendars, vases, lamps, trays and more.

Glass painting ( and stain glass) is also great for revamping old and simple items.

Glass painting is also a fun way to be creative with your kids.

    You can find many different brands and types of glass paints in the craft store. From transparent glass paints to crystalline. You can also use some special paints which come with instructions to bake your painted utensil for a few minutes for perfect results.
    
    Hope that helps!

Just a tip for those that want the paint used on glass to adhere better and hold up to washing clean without messing up
Your beautiful paint job! Pick up a box of smooth tile grout. Add about a teaspoon to any 2ounce bottle of glass paint of your
Choice. Mix well. When your finished painting your piece bake in the oven according to the paint brands
Instructions. Adding the smooth tile grout to your paint makes it so much more durable than just baking
Your piece when completed. The grout will not change the appearance of the paint at all! Your colors will
Stay true and your beautiful hard work won’t get washed away! It makes the piece dishwasher safe but I
Still prefer to hand wash. Happy painting all!!!! Rhonda M.

  I have never used fabric paints on glass so I can not really be of help with this dilemma. However, if acrylic paints can work so should any other paint.
