Handmade Christmas with Peelable Glass Paint
Christmas is a magical time of year and the perfect occasion to get creative with decorating and crafting. Thorndown Peelable Glass Paints are a great way to decorate Advent and Christmas windows and can make endless craft items for decor and gifts.
The Christmas Stencil Craft Pack makes it even easier with 6 festive stencils and 4 x 40ml pots of Peelable Glass Paint in Christmas colours. Follow this link for more information on the Christmas Craft Pack and simple festive projects, or explore ideas for Christmas Windows in our Projects area.
There are also some great ideas for making Christmas Baubles on the Workshops page. A glass painting workshop saw a group of people create a range of decorative designs for glass baubles that looked fantastic. The designs can be easily copied and used to create your own baubles, either on glass or the cheaper plastic baubles that are available.
Painting a Christmas Window with the Christmas Stencil Craft Pack
A quick and easy way to transform your home, office, or shop for Christmas is to use this stencil pack. You don’t need to be a skilled artist and anyone can have a go.
This kitchen window was a joy to create! Firstly I used a small radiator roller with a foam sleeve and some Swan White Peelable Glass Paint to roller on a snow drift at the bottom of the window panes. Leaving that to dry I moved on to the night sky using the star stencils to create a starry night for the angels to descend from.
As the star stencils are quite small it can be easier to use a sponge. I like to use an old washing up sponge. The cheaper thinner ones are perfect and once they’re no longer any good for washing-up I cut them to size, usually into quarters. For stencilling you only need a tiny amount of paint otherwise you’ll get drips, splodges and paint bleed under the stencils. Pour a small amount of paint onto a tray or use an old plastic fruit tray, dab the sponge in lightly and remove any excess by scraping off on the edge of the tray so the paint goes back to be used later.
Fix the stencil in place with masking tape or a glue mounting spray, dab the painty sponge onto the stencil then remove the stencil while the paint is still wet. Leave the stencil to dry or wipe off any wet paint with a cloth or kitchen towel, then use again in the next place. While I had yellow (Griffin Gold) on the sponge I also added the three angels using the same angel stencil. We use a durable 190gsm acetate material to make our stencils so they can be used again and again.
I painted on the Santa and the Christmas trees using the art brush provided in the stencil craft pack, popping out of the snow drift on the bottom of the windows. For the snowmen and snowflakes I used an old sponge and sponged Swan White Peelable Glass Paint on using the stencils.
The snowflakes are small and intricate so can take some practice to get them right. Best tip is just to use a tiny amount of paint so it almost looks like you’re not using any. If you do make any splats and splodges then don’t worry too much as snowflakes aren’t perfect and art doesn’t have to be either!
On the windowsill are a collection of decorative items I painted up using old glass jam jars and bottles. The window didn’t take long to create and looked fabulous day and night.
Peelable Glass Paint Christmas Stencil Craft Pack
Creating a Christmas window and decorating items for the home or as gifts is now simple, easy, and enjoyable with Thorndown’s Peelable Glass Paint Christmas Stencil Craft Pack.
The Christmas Stencil Craft Pack contains 6 stencils cut from an A4 sheet of durable and reusable 190gsm Mylar material. These stencils have been designed so that you can create endless scenes and decorate any shiny material whether it be glass, plastic, or tiles. Create attractive tea light holders with old jam jars, or Christmas chutney for the Christmas table or to give out as gifts to friends and family.
Old plastic bottles or soup pots can be reused and turned into snow globes with a bit of Peelable Glass Paint, water, and glitter!
They are small enough to be usable on smaller surface areas such as jam jars, but large enough to create beautiful scenes to entertain and delight.
Stencils supplied in the box are of an angel, Christmas tree, Santa Claus, snowflake, snowman, and stars.
Also included in the box is an art brush and information sheet with tips, advice and instructions on different applications and craft techniques.
Peelable Glass Paint goes a long way so you only need to use a small amount, especially when stencilling. The Christmas Stencil Craft Pack contains 4 x 40ml craft tins of Dragon Red, Goblin Green, Griffin Gold, and Swan White – the perfect colours for Christmas!
You can also easily mix together Peelable Glass Paint colours to create many more shades and colours from the 4 supplied. Peelable Glass Paint is water-based and non-toxic with low odour, virtually no VOC and made with a 100% recycled plastic resin.
Peelable Glass Paint was created to be peelable so when it’s dry, you can just peel it off. However if you like what you’ve made then the coating is also water-repellent and durable so you can just leave it on and it will last for years, whether inside or outside in the elements.
