For this art piece, I had been experimenting with crackle and came up with this background. I am using an 8x10 wooden frame that I painted with Tropical Blue, added Elmer's glue for crackle, and then painted another coat of Tropical Blue on top.

Next, I found some white sheet glass that I had cut into flower petals with my wheeled nippers. You will want to do this with gloves and eye protection on! I also have two cut pieces of green vase glass for the leaves.

We are going to mix our resin first, then start creating our flower by layering the glass flower petals. We will add...

Transform a simple flower pot into a stunning piece of art with our latest tutorial! In this project, I'll show you how to create beautiful blue flowers with a unique background using stencil and antiquing techniques. You'll learn how to add napkin art to craft the flower pot, then enhance it with blue glass flowers, seed beads, and a glossy resin finish. This tutorial is perfect for beginners and packed with tips and tricks to master various techniques.

First, I'm going to create the napkin art that I will add to the flower pot. Take your tracer and place it on top of your napkin (I am using a blue floral napkin), place graphite under your tracer, and trace the pot with a stylus. Cut the flower pot out of the napkin and separate the plys until you just have the top layer of napkin art.

Set this aside. We will decoupage after we paint the background.

Paint your background with a coat of white paint. Then, I'll add Desert Turquoise in a circular motion towards the left of my...

Today, we’re using a 5x7 canvas to create a beautiful blue hyacinth flower. This project stands out for its simplicity - minimal painting (only three colors!), no need for tracing, and tons of glass goodies to play with. We’ll be incorporating vibrant blue glass pieces, plastic flowers, cut glass pieces, vitrigraph, and a variety of seed beads to bring this masterpiece to life.

Start by painting your background with a coat of white paint. Then, blend in blue paint in the top area of your canvas and light green in the bottom area of your canvas. Dry with a heat tool.

Now let's add glass! I'm going to use 1/2 inch blue glass and shape it into a hyacinth flower. Then, I'll add two pieces of green glass that I nipped from a vase for the leaves and a piece of green vitrigraph to create the stem. 

Mix 1 ounce of resin and stir gently for three minutes. Pour the resin onto your glass and spread it onto your canvas using your gloved fingers or brush. ...

Let's create a stunning purple lotus flower on a 5x7 canvas! We'll paint a colorful and fun dotted background and then add glass pieces to make our flower. Whether you're a seasoned artist or a beginner, this step-by-step guide will help you create a beautiful, unique piece of art. Let's dive in!

Apply a thin coat of white paint over the entire canvas. This helps to blend other colors and gives a soft background. Squeeze out small amounts of Seashell (pastel pink), Buttercream (yellow), Wild Wasabi (green), Winter Blue (purple-blue), Spa Blue (sky blue), and white onto your palette.

Use a dotting tool to dip into Buttercream and make dots randomly across the canvas. Apply light pressure and twist slightly to form your dots. Clean the dotting tool between colors. Repeat the dotting technique with Seashell, Wild Wasabi, Winter Blue, and Spa Blue, allowing some overlap. Mix white with each color and dot around the original colors to create a gradient effect. Dry with a...

We are working with a 5x7 canvas. Start by painting your background and canvas sides with Metallic Antique Gold with a sponge brush, which helps lay those metallics out better. Once you have your color on, pull the paint in one direction to lay the metallics flat. Dry with a heat tool, add a second coat, and dry again.

Next, I'll take Metallic Silver Sterling paint and apply it to my background with a palette knife. I want this to have a distressed look, so I will lightly pull the paint down in one direction. I'll do the same to my canvas sides. Dry with a heat tool.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace...

This tutorial will guide you through crafting a one-of-a-kind floral cutting board that I found at Hobby Lobby! We'll be using a beautiful combination of materials: cut vase glass for green leaves, cut globe glass for the petals, seed beads, crushed green glass, and even a touch of vitrigraph for a unique artistic twist. Let's turn simple pieces of glass into a piece of art that will be the star of your kitchen!

Start by painting a background on your cutting board. I am mixing white acrylic paint with water, applying it to my board really quickly, and then swiping down the board with a putty knife to pull it back off. This will give you a nice distressed white background! Dry it with a heat tool, do this same technique again, and dry it one more time. 

Lightly sand your cutting board to smooth it out. Tape off the back of your cutting board with painter's tape to avoid having any resin drips. Then, let's add glass! I am going to add green vitrigraph for the stems. I have...

Let's create a stunning yellow flower using cut vase glass! What makes this tutorial especially fun is its beginner-friendly approach – minimal painting is required, and no tracer is needed. Instead, we'll let the beauty of the glass itself take center stage, allowing its natural color and texture to shape the petals of our flower. 

We are using an 8x8 canvas. Start by painting your background with a coat of white acrylic paint. Then, blend in some light yellow paint. I'll also use my canvas plastic to dab my paint to give it some texture and lighten it up. Dry with a heat tool.

Now let's build a flower using glass! Take a generous amount of clear glass and add it to your canvas. This should be an organic shape, not a perfect circle. I had a yellow vase that I busted up with my pliers I will just start adding these glass pieces and layering them to create my yellow flower petals. 

For my flower center, I am going to use a glass chip piece. I also have a...

In our latest project, we'll be crafting a stunning glass and resin art piece featuring a lovely pink daisy. We'll be using a variety of glass goodies like green vitrigraph, cut pieces of sheet glass, and glass bubbles to bring our creation to life. This tutorial is perfect for artists of all levels, offering a fun and accessible way to explore the beauty of glass and resin art. 

Start by painting your canvas with white acrylic paint. Then, add green acrylic paint by using a paintbrush to pull it from the bottom up. Use the tips of your bristles to add some blades of grass too. I'll add some pink acrylic paint in a circular motion on the top half of my canvas and blend in some light yellow as well. Dry with a heat tool.

Let's add our glass! I have oval shapes that I have precut from a sheet of pink glass that I will use to create my flowers. I have larger pieces that I will use for the base and then I'll layer smaller pieces on top with tacky glue. I'll also use tacky glue to...

Let's dive into a groovy and unique artistic adventure today! I'm crafting a whimsical hippie-inspired flower art piece that's sure to bring a touch of retro charm to your space. During one of my Hobby Lobby adventures, I stumbled upon these glass flowers and immediately envisioned a funky 70s-style art piece. This project is simple, fun, and perfect for beginners looking to get started with glass and resin art!

I'm going to use a watercolor pencil to divide up five sections of my background. I'm doing curvy lines to create swoopy sections of color. I will paint each section with white paint and then add on light blue, dark blue, peach, orange, and pink. Paint the sides of your canvas too. Dry with a heat tool.

Grab your tracer, tape it to your canvas, place graphite paper underneath, and trace your flower vase and leaves with a stylus.

I'm going to use a liner brush to paint on my flower stems with Avocado Green. I'll also add a little bit of white paint....

Today, we'll be exploring how to create a stunning spring daffodil out of glass and resin! Using pieces cut from a glass bowl found at HomeGoods, along with vibrant green vitrigraph, crushed green glass, and delicate seed beads, we'll craft a one-of-a-kind piece of art. Whether you're an experienced glass artist or just starting out, you will love this tutorial!

To cut the petal shapes from a bowl, I used a scoring tool to score along the petal shapes of the bowl. Then, I'll line up my breaking pliers with the score line and squeeze to break off the glass pieces. Make sure you are wearing goggles and gloves to do this! Use a honing stone to dull the sharp points on your cut pieces.

Next, we'll paint our background! I am using a 4x12 canvas and a yellow-green color with white to coat the background. Dry with a heat tool.

I'd also like to create a splatter effect on the background. I'm going to mix green paint with water, dip an old toothbrush into the mixture, and run my...
