How and How Long:
- Clean your glass with rubbing alcohol. Using your DecoArt Americana Gloss Enamels & brush, paint your image on the back of the glass. I chose to paint, “il a vole mon coeur.“, which means “He stole my heart.” in French.
- Be sure to REVERSE your text if your painting letters. Paint right to left and each letter should be backward.
*If you don’t mind a relief (raised paint) on the front of the soon-to-be mirror, you can just paint everything on the front without the need to reverse & flip the letters.
- After it has dried to touch, bake for 30 minutes at 325 degrees. Before removing your glass, turn off the oven and allow it to cool in the oven.
- Spray the back of the glass (the side that you painted) with Krylon Looking Glass Mirror-Like Paint. Make sure you are outside or in a well-ventilated area. You will need a few coats but be sure that the first one evaporates before applying another.
Approximate project time: 1 day.
