{Painted Glass Menorah}

I was so excited to have a chance to work on a holiday project using supplies from Martha Stewart Crafts! In our household, we celebrate Hanukkah– so I jumped at the chance to create a Menorah using Martha Stewart Crafts Glass Paint and Decoupage. Martha has anything and everything you might beed for holiday crafting with her multi-surface craft system including craft paint, glass paint, decoupage and jewelry. You can find Martha Stewart Crafts products in store at your local Michaels or online at Plaid Crafts.

Menorah

I started with some inexpensive glass candle holders and these awesome Martha Stewart Craft supplies.

Painted Glass Menorah

 Here’s a shot of all the beautiful products I received. The items I used for my menorah were Martha Stewart Crafts Glass Paint Frost in Blue Calico, Martha Stewart Crafts Glass Paint Fine Glitter in Turquoise, Martha Stewart Crafts Decoupage Multi-Surface Durable Gloss Finish, Martha Stewart Crafts Decoupage Brush Set, and Martha Stewart Crafts Decoupage Lace Trim.

Painted Glass Menorah

Step One: I cleaned all the glassware with rubbing alcohol. Since I was painting pieces for a menorah, I needed eight candle holders and a ninth one for the shamash (lighter candle).

Step 2: I painted eight candles with Calico Blue and the shamash with Turquoise. I did five coats total, letting each layer dry.

This is what the candle holders looked like after five coats of paint.

 Step 3: Then I grabbed the lace decoupage and cut it into smaller pieces to embellish the candle holders.

 Step 5: Following the instructions on the bottle, I painted the entire surface with Martha Stewart Crafts Decoupage Multi-Surface Durable Gloss Finish, as well as the “back” of the lace bits. Then I adhered them and waited… and did more coats on top, letting each layer dry. Of note: Martha Stewart Crafts Decoupage is dishwasher safe. Follow package instructions.

Here’s a closer look at what my glass looked like with all the goodies.

Step 6: Then I simply added the candles! Happy Hanukkah… I can’t wait to show off my new menorah.
