Welcome to my first Craft Sunday at the 1956 Fixer Upper. DIL asked if she could invite a couple of friends to our Craft Sunday and I happily complied. This month we are going to try painting on glass so I picked up several pieces of clear glassware at a thrift store and spent an afternoon practicing so I could give at least a little guidance toward success. My project is a pumpkin on a stemmed wineglass using flat acrylic craft paint. The second project is also a pumpkin but using gloss enamel paint. Pumpkins are all different, so don’t strive to make them so matchey matchey. Both paint methods were successful, but the enamel will be a more durable finish after it is baked and a bit more washable if I use it as a wine glass. Read on for my success tips.

They have been quite useful but it’s time to do some quick and easy make overs that will elevate them to a new and improved designer piece. I came across a can of shiny metallic silver spray paint to use on the first one. I feel contemporary coming on…
