Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Clean the glass vase thoroughly with rubbing alcohol to remove any oils or dirt.
2. If desired, use painter's tape to create geometric patterns or sections on the vase.
3. Use the glass outliner pen to draw the 'lead' lines of your stained glass design directly onto the vase. Allow it to dry completely as per the product instructions.
4. Fill in the sections between the lines with glass paint or transparent acrylic paints to mimic stained glass colors. Use multiple thin layers if needed and let dry between coats.
5. Once all paint is dry, carefully remove any painter's tape if used.
6. Insert the battery-operated fairy lights into the vase, arranging them evenly.
7. Turn on the lights and place your vase on display to enjoy the glowing stained glass effect.
