USA Glass Art 🇺🇸
We are using an 8x10 canvas to create a patriotic glass art piece! We'll be painting some red stripes on our canvas with gold stars, then we will add some blue bottle rings that I got on Etsy to spell the letters USA. I used my nippers to cut the bottle rings to make the different letter shapes. This turned out so cute and unique - perfect for the 4th of July holiday!
First, I am going to take a measuring tape and make marks down my canvas at the 1-inch mark. I'm going to start by painting every other stripe with white paint, taking it all the way to the sides of the canvas too. Dry with a heat tool.
Then, I'm going to paint the other stripes with Cherry Red. While the paint is still white, I'm going to take some white paint and go along each stripes line to blend that line a little bit. I'll also add a bit of white in each red stripes, and a bit of white in each red stripes. The messier the better! Dry with a heat tool.
We're going to jazz up our stripes! I have a DecoArt Metallic Gold Pen that I will use to make some short strokes along my stripe lines. I'm going to draw some gold stars on my background too and outline those with my graphic pen. I'm also going to use a white Posca Pen to make some short strokes in my red stripes.
Next, place your bottle rings onto your canvas to spell the letters USA!
It's time for resin! We're going to elevate our canvases using blocks. Mix 1.5 ounces of resin and stir gently for three minutes. Pour the resin onto your glass and spread it on the rest of your canvas using your gloved fingers or brush.
Use a heat gun to pop your bubbles. Keep your heat moving at all times!
