Don't want to buy vinyl lettering? Don't have good handwriting? I came up with this idea after researching "reverse glass painting" projects.
Total Time: 20 minutes
Yield: 1
Supplies:
- glass
- printables
- Sharpie oil based marker
Steps:
- First, I chose a quotation and style of lettering I wanted by researching the internet. I copied and pasted the lettering into a word document and sized it according to the project I was doing. Print the lettering. Cut around the lettering if necessary. I was using three words and wanted the placement in different parts of the glass I was lettering.
- Holding the right side of the lettering up to my window (so I could see through), I traced the lettering.
- Then, I taped the lettering onto the front of the glass where I wanted the placement. Then, I flipped the glass over to the other side. Using the oil-based Sharpie marker, I then "painted" the lettering. Because it is oil based, let it dry for a few hours so as not to smudge the lettering.
- It was then ready for me to use. My plan is to add a clock face and make this project into a picture frame clock.
