" Kaleidoscope Splendour"

This beautiful painted candleholder has been created using the "Peel and Stick" method and our vibrant Glasslites paints. Millions of individual and unique patterns can be formed when you blend and mix the colours together. Swirling the colours using the Shading Tool and a pin has created an unusual decorative piece, that every one will notice.

This glass Candle Holder and stand was purchased from Clint's Bargain Store, but any class Candleholder can be used for the same effect.

Preparing the Glass
Wash in warm soapy water and then rinse with water. Rinse again with a week solution of water and white vinegar and allow to dry. The vinegar solution helps to prevent grease and fingermarks from marking the surface of the glassware.

Basic Instructions

1. Please read all directions carefully before beginning project

2. Pre-wash glassware according to directions.

3. Working on a flat level surface slide design sheet inside the plastic insert and work where you can leave went paint undisturbed overnight.

4. Squeeze out small circle or drops of different coloured paint. (trying to keep with in the circular shape) and swirl together with the Shading tool or pin. No two will be the same. Each one will be a unique design, individual and very different.

5. Repeat until you have enough circles to cover your glassware. (We needed a full sheet of circles to cover our candleholder) Make sure you have a few extra just in cases they don't work out.

6. Allow to dry thoroughly overnight- longer in cold damp weather.

7. Warm each circle with the warmth of your hands before lifting the edge very carefully, peeling of the plastic insert and placing in position on the glass candle holder. Smooth out with fingers to remove any air bubbles underneath the circles.

8. Repeat this process until you have covered the entire glass area. If you wish you can cut some of the circles in half and place around the top edge to fill in the empty space.

9. Add random comma strokes of Antique Gold over and around the coloured circles to create interesting highlights using Round Fine Script brush. Allow to dry thoroughly.

10. Random brush Antique Gold and Copper Place all over the metal stand to cover the original black colour.
