Transforming scrap glass into a whimsical melted snowman ornament is a fun and simple craft perfect for the winter season. With just a few tools and materials, you can create a unique decoration to add charm to your holiday tree or gift to someone special!

Begin by peeling the plastic film off one side of your acrylic round. This will be the front of your ornament. Next, apply a small amount of SnowTex to the round and spread it evenly to create a snowy base. Put this aside to dry. 

To create your melted snowman, start by attaching a tracer to a piece of white sheet glass, and trace the two snowman shapes. Put on gloves and safety glasses for protection. Use a pair of wheeled nippers to carefully cut around the snowman shapes, taking small, irregular bits as you go. Next, use a honing stone to gently soften the edges all the way around. Wipe off any remaining tracer lines.

You should end up with two irregular pieces of white sheet glass and a white, round/flat gem that will...

This reindeer project is the perfect blend of painting and glass embellishments, making it an eye-catching addition to your holiday decor. Starting with a simple painted base, you’ll bring your reindeer to life with layers of color and detail. Then, take it to the next level by adding vitrigraph glass antlers, clear glass, beads, and a glossy resin finish.

Begin by applying a base coat of white paint to your canvas, ensuring full coverage, and dry it using a heat tool. Next, position your reindeer tracer on the canvas, tape it in place, and slide a sheet of graphite paper underneath. Use a stylus to trace only the reindeer’s head.

Once traced, paint the reindeer’s head with a base coat of Rusted Pipe paint. After drying with a heat tool, apply a second coat for an even finish. Reposition your tracer and trace the facial details of the reindeer.

Next, I’ll paint the ears using Warm Beige. For the bangs, I’ll apply another coat of Rusted Pipe and blend...

Begin by painting the background and sides of your canvas with a coat of Metallic Pearl paint. Use smooth, even strokes in one direction to ensure a beautiful, uniform metallic shine. Dry the paint thoroughly with a heat tool.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace the ornament with a stylus. 

Start by painting the ornament with a base coat of Primary Red. Use a heat tool to dry it completely before applying a second coat. Once the second coat is dry, apply a...

Grab your tracer, tape it to the canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace the evergreen branches and the word "NOEL" onto your canvas.

Mix a small amount of Avocado paint with water to thin it slightly, then use a liner brush to carefully paint the evergreen pine needles. Start with the center branch, and gently sweep the brush outward from the middle to form the pine...

If you’re looking for a fun and creative way to make a unique holiday decoration, this glass wreath canvas project is perfect for you! Using metallic paints, shimmering glass pieces, and a smooth resin finish, you’ll create a stunning piece that’s both elegant and festive. Whether you’re a crafting pro or just trying something new, this step-by-step guide will help you bring your wreath to life!

Let's create a beautiful, rustic pumpkin art piece! Starting with a distressed wooden frame, we’ll layer in colorful paints and glass elements to bring the pumpkin to life, like cut vase glass, crushed glass, vitrigraph, beads, mini pinecones, floral bits, and more! This project is both easy to follow and endlessly customizable to what you have in your stash. 

Begin by taping off the outer edges of your wooden frame. Using a sponge brush, lightly apply Vintage White paint by dragging it vertically from top to bottom to create a faux-distressed effect. Be sure to keep your strokes vertical, not horizontal. Once finished, dry the paint with a heat tool. Next, layer Sea Mist over the Vintage White using the same technique, then dry again. If you'd like to add more texture, lightly sand the surface with sandpaper or a honing block to enhance the distressed look. Finally, remove the painter's tape to reveal clean edges.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your frame, place graphite...

Let's blend beachy vibes with autumn charm in this unique mixed-media art project! We’ll start by creating a decoupage background with a beach scene, then layer in a beautiful pumpkin, finishing with a touch of sparkle using glass accents and shells. This step-by-step guide will walk you through each stage, bringing coastal and seasonal style to your canvas.

For this art piece, we’ll be crafting a beachy decoupage background using a scenic napkin. Start by trimming the napkin to fit your canvas, then separate the layers until only the top printed layer remains. Brush a layer of Mod Podge onto the canvas, place the napkin on top, and gently smooth it down with your hands to remove any wrinkles. Once it’s secure, apply another coat of Mod Podge over the top to seal it. Tear away any extra napkin from the edges, then use a heat tool to speed up drying.
