Fearless Friday, Birthday Fun
Prayers, Prayers and more Prayers for those affected by Hurricane Matthew…
You don’t have to be an artist to paint a little birthday on a glass, or a jar or on a handmade card
This is a simple “birthday cake” design
A squiggly line
Paint a squiggly line around the glass or across the surface
Practice on paper first if you like
Brush strokes will be smoother on glass than on a rougher surface
A squiggle around the base
A row of big polka dots
Birthday candles
Candles need a flame
Use a fat, brush {like #6 round} and start at the base making the flame shape by turning the brush and finishing with a point at the top
If you make a mistake or have a dribble on glass, you can either wipe it right away with another brush, or damp Q-tip, or let the paint dry completely and remove the unwanted paint with an exacto knife
A row of decorative “icing” is added with angled short strokes with a flat square brush
Ok, time to light those flames!
Add a quick stroke to the middle of the dry orange flame, then use the other end of the brush to add some yellow dots
Happy Birthday!

Adorable painted candle glass for a birthday celebration Jenna! I love your sweet birthday cake banner too. ♥
Jenna, I might could do this project! Cute party ideas…Happy Friday!
Love the simplicity and sophistication all at once.
This is such a cute idea! I was thinking this would be a cool idea to paint on a trifle bowl, too. I would never have thought of using the wavy lines for a cake, but it totally works. Love your tutorials!
such a neat idea, and even I could do this! Thanks for sharing!
Jenna, what a fun tutorial. Thanks for the painting lesson. I think I can do this. The only thing I paint is my nails, so could you please tell me what type of paint you use? And does the paint come off when you hand wash them? Thanks, Sandy
Use any kind of craft paint or acrylic paint, which is washable on your skin but not on your clothes. Click on the highlight link at the bottom of the post under note, to go to amazon.com and see the recommended paint for glass. If you are painting on fabric that will be washed, like a hand towel or pillow cover, it’s a good idea to mix fabric medium into your paint so it will be better suited to fabric. All these things are available at large craft stores and Walmart. Happy painting Sandy! >
So cute! Happy birthday to your loved one!!!
So cute and you make it look so easy!!
Such a great idea! I know my grandkiddos would love helping with a project like this! My oldest granddaughter turns 8 this week, so would be a fun thing to do!
Thanks Lynn, she’s the perfect age! >
So fun and festive! Birthdays are so fun to celebrate! I’m so glad you shared this at our Dishing It & Digging It Link Party! Looking forward to seeing more of your creativity! 🙂
I think I could pull this off and it’s a very nice keepsake for the birthday recipient.
