Translucent paint will give the appearance of colored glass. (0:56) Step 4: Opaque paint lays on top of the glass and has a painterly effect. Depending on the type of paint you choose, you may not even need a paintbrush. Bottled paints with applicator tips can be applied directly to your surface.

Turn off the oven without opening it, and let your creation cool in the oven before removing. Remember that sudden temperature changes can cause glass to crack or shatter.
