#TIP
Apply pressure down on the tape to ensure the edges have adhered well to the surface to prevent your paint from bleeding through.

Painting glass with Fusion Mineral Paint
What a wonderful quick inexpensive way to style a table. Grab some twigs and sticks or maybe a handful of flowers and you have a beautiful hand-made quick and easy centrepiece.
Fusion Mineral Paint is a matte formula, but if you wanted a glossy finish you could swirl the paint on the inside of your glass container and wait for it to dry, that way you still get the colour you want but with the glossiness of the glass. Good to note, you would not be able to put water inside if the paint is on the inside!
