Martha, Martha, Martha!
Hey there everyone!
Today I am sharing the new
Martha Stewart glass painting program
Did you know Martha Stewart and I grew up in the same home town?
I mean not at the same time or anything..she is just few years older than I:)
Nutley, New Jersey it was.
Then did you know her family, I believe Grandparents have a farm out in Buffalo, NY?
And did you know I wound up moving to Buffalo NY when I was 11?
So you see Martha and I are kindred spirits if you will.
Except here I am blogging and Martha is on TV.
Oh well, who said life was fair.
What was fair is that I was sent all these awesome goodies.
What to do, what to do!~
Spring is right around the corner and I am longing for pretty flowers, birds chirping and butterflies.
It’s true, I love Spring!
I had this old copper lantern that was sorta saddened and plain looking.
Why not jazz it up with a dash of Spring.
The liquid glass paint was the perfect choice.
Working with the liquid glass was fairly simple.
I say fairly, for fault of my own.
I thought I knew what I was doing and dug right into it.
However, YOU MUST read directions…
who would think?
Just kidding, but YES, read all the instructions and you too will have a very pretty
stained glass look on the Martha Stewart cling ons.
As you can see I chose to have this look on a pretty copper lantern I just happened to have on hand.
A very pretty Welcome to Spring!
Once you fill in all your flowers with the CLEAR liquid fill and let completely dry,
that is when you can bring in the color of choice.
The colors really made me smile
They yelled SPRING! Spring is in the air.
I let my color dry completely before I peeled my flowers off to adhere them to my lantern.
I really like how a simple, plain ole lantern
turned Spring can make you smile.
These Martha Stewart products can be found at Michaels.

I scored a bunch of these on ebay just recently. But haven’t tried them yet…they look so purdy. Guess what my next project is…
I’ve always wanted to work with liquid glass! That stuff look so fun.
Very cool – have never seen these before but have about 10 different places I’d like to try them out!
This is a new product to me — but it sure looks like a lot of fun and the results are so very pretty!
Thank you Lauren, I tell you it sure was a lot of fun. I know you too would enjoy it.
You’re making me want to pull out my glass paint and give this a try!
How adorable! I love this idea and how lucky are you to be able to play with them! Great idea. Thanks for sharing!
that is beautiful and it doesn’t look to hard, I would love to do this, thanks so much for showing us,
This stuff is so cool!! I have to try it. Great job Debbie!
Of course Jersey girls really know how to craft! Such a fun makeover – ok, I’m ready for spring!
