Glass Painting - Ivy Bowl

Instructions:
1. Wash the ivy bowl thoroughly with soap and water and allow to dry completely.

2. Paint on the design. Shamrocks are easy to do - simply paint three heart shapes to make the familiar shamrock leaf shape, with a small stem added.

3. If you make a mistake, erase it with rubbing alcohol, allow to dry and start again.

4. Wait 24 hours to allow paint to set and cure, before baking to set the design permanently. Follow package instructions for baking -- the glasses shown were baked in the oven for 40 minutes at 325 degrees. After baking, your design should be resistant to normal usage and dishwashing.
