It’s time for the monthly Creative Craft blog hop
We are lucky to have 2 wonderful hostesses,
Thank you Sara and Donna!
This month our hostess is Donna from Modern on Monticello
Welcome friends, readers,
and visitors from Decorate and More with Tip
Today is my daughter’s birthday
and one thing she asked for was a Halloween wine glass
We both like to drink white wine
and like to drink it in insulated wine cups
I decided to paint a witch hat on one and a pumpkin on another
so she could use it through Thanksgiving
Let me show you the steps for these simple designs
You will need a medium round paint brush,
a small pointed brush, and acrylic craft paint
Let’s start with the pumpkin
Dip a medium round brush into orange and then yellow paint
Make a C stroke and as you stroke,
the colors will mix
Reload your brush and make a backwards C stroke
for the other side of the pumpkin
Continue to make these strokes until the pumpkin is filled in
Clean your brush then dip it in brown for the stem
Make short fat overlapping strokes to finish the stem
Use the small pointed brush to paint some curly vines
Add simple leaf shapes with a small brush
dipped in green and a touch of yellow
I used an acrylic paint pen to add dots
For the witch’s hat,
use the medium round brush and black paint
and make 2 strokes forming a triangle
Then fill it in and do a wavy horizontal stroke for the brim
Then clean up any rough edges with a small pointed brush
Add a spider dangling from the tip of the hat
When the black paint is dry, add a yellow star and an orange band,
and finish with orange dots
Once the paint has dried for 24 hours, it will be permanent,
but I recommend gently hand washing
You could also paint these designs on glasses, cards or place cards,
anything you want!
If you want to paint on glass,
be sure to use a curable paint for glass
