Valentines
day is less than 2 weeks away and as I’m not fond of the commercial stance the
day of Lurve has taken, I’ve spent the last few weeks making the gift, card and
a special little table decoration for a romantic meal for two.
This week’s
tutorial is a quick, easy and will look good on any table, not just for
valentines, but any occasion.
I’ve been
dying to try frosted glass spray and Romantic centre pieces seemed to be the way
to go, it’s very easy to use and I think I may have been a little too
experimental with my attempt, but below is another example to give you a
clearer image.
Equipment
Frosted glass spray
Glass – I used
old jars, which I washed the labels off. But the spay can also be used on drinking
glasses, mirrors and windows etc.
Scissors &
paper
Pric stick
Start by
designing and cutting out an image to go onto the glass. In my experience the
more basic the better, I chose True Love and a heart but the words didn’t come
out as clear as I would have liked.
Pric stick is
the best glue to temporarily stick the paper to glass. Pric stick doesn’t stick
to glass but it will hold your image there long enough to spray the glass
frosting over.
As not to gas
myself whilst spraying the jars, I sprayed mine outside and they needed 3 or 4
coats of frosting to get a really good frosting effect.
Here are
mine, a heart and the word Love - sorry not as clear as I would have liked as I
was trying to set the scene on my table but it’s a dark, below is another
example.
