Now, on to hand painting your Clear Glass Dinner Plates. Simply Place the stencil on the Clear Glass Dinner Plates to be painted. You can hold it in place with painters tape.

Next, Dip the stencil brush in ceramic paint. You may need to dab off the excess paint on a paper towel. Now, Pounce the brush on the edges of the stencil to outline the pattern onto the Clear Glass Dinner Plates.

Then fill in the center with a lighter application of paint to give the design dimension. See how simple it is to create great hand painted images on your Clear Glass Dinner Plates.

Now, if you have more images you want to hand paint onto your Clear Glass Dinner Plates you will need to let these first paint colors dry. Once the paint has dried you can lay your next stencil on and start painting again.

I recommend using a combination of free hand painting an stencils for this easy project. This will give you some uniformity, but with a hands on touch that makes the painted Clear Glass Dinner Plates each unique.

Now, you can also use an artist brush and free hand any designs you want onto your Clear Glass Dinner Plates as well. You can make simple poke dot by dotting the tip of the brush on your dinnerware as well.

Don't over look using great gold and silver metallic paints as accents to really make your hand painted Clear Glass Dinner Plates formal! I like to take a run a fine then line of metallic paint along the edge of the plates, on the rim. You see this look all the time in fine china and crystal dinnerware.
