Preparation
- Cover your workspace with newspapers or cloth to protect it from paint spills.
- Select the colors of glass paint you want to use. Vibrant colors like red, blue, and yellow will give you the best rainbow effect.
- Use a paintbrush to apply a base layer of paint to the clear glass shapes. Ensure an even coating and allow it to dry completely.
- Once the base is dry, use a different color to create swirls on top of the dried base coat to create a unique design.
- After the colors have dried, use transparent adhesive to attach the shapes in the desired arrangement.
- Allow the entire ornament to cure for a few hours to strengthen the bond.

Tips & Notes:
If colors appear dull, add another coat of paint. If glass pieces do not stick well, re-apply adhesive and let them set undisturbed. These ornaments look best in sunlight and can be hung or displayed on shelves.
