Directions
- Begin by washing the exterior of each bottle thoroughly using warm water and dish soap. Dampen a clean cloth and scrub away any residue or labels until the glass is spotless.
- Once the glass is completely dry, apply your chosen acrylic colors directly onto the surface to create your desired design.
- After the artwork has dried, take the spray polyurethane outside to finish the project. Hold the can approximately 6 to 8 inches away from the bottle and apply an even coat to protect the finish.
- Allow the first layer to dry fully before adding a second application of the sealant to ensure the paint remains durable and protected.
