DIY Reverse Painting on Glass



So you want to try your hand at a DIY Reverse Painting on Glass. If you have mentioned this to any one, you have probably been told that it's too hard to do. Wrong. It has been and can be done. Not to say that it's going to be a fast project, but if you have some time to spend at this, and really want to, the results may be more than you expect.

For step by step instructions, go to the

You can begin totally on the cheap, (if you aren't sure whether you are going to like it) by using leftover paint from around the house, and some dollar store 8" x 10" picture frames with glass already in them. Or, you can use craft paints or oil colors if you have some laying around waiting for a project. The only requirement is that you leave your imagination open to possibilities!





If you don't know yet exactly what you want to paint, but you just want to get started, you might like to take a lok at my How to do reverse glass painting or even the Kits that I have made up, and ready to begin.



If you are really going to run with DIY reverse painting on glass, you may decide to invest in some painting aids, such as an opaque projector, lots of large callendars with great photography, or a home printer that will blow up your own photos to poster size. After having been painting in reverse on glass for nine years, 5 nights a week after work, I finally thought of a painting aid that I would love to try, and boy, DID I love it. I needed a board to lay over parts of the painting that were still wet so that I could work in other parts of the painting. Just a simple board with two ends that would straddle the glass pane. Nine years later, I explained what I needed to my husband, and he built it in five minutes or less.
