How to Hand Paint Glass Bowls with Confetti Dots

I had pinned this picture onto my Crafts and DIY Projects board a long time ago. I decided I would give it a try, only to find out that the pin didn’t go anywhere. Not wanting to give up on the idea, I decided to just give it a try.

I chose 5 different enamel paint colors – a red, blue, green, white, and yellow (these colors also match the dishes from my kitchen). I grabbed a few Pyrex bowls that came in a box set of other items; I haven’t used them because we have a whole set of glass bowls, so I thought these would be great to upcyle into something pretty.

I used a short but slightly thick paint brush to paint the dots. I have seen online that people also use pencil erases to also paint dots, so that it also worth a try.

Choose one color to start with and begin painting the dots on the outside of the dish. Let it dry, and move on to the next color.

The great thing about this project is you can easily modify the look of the project based on the thickness of the dots and colors. The options are endless. I actually used this same technique for a different project this weekend, but they are a gift so I can’t share with you all for a little while longer.

Decorate your own glass vases or bowls with paint

Once you are satisfied with the look, let it dry for 30 minutes. Put them on a layer of parchment paper on a cookie sheet or another pan. Place in a cold oven (glass needs to gradually warm up) and turn to 350. After 30 minutes, turn the oven off but I suggest leaving the project in there awhile to slowly start cooling down.
