Frosted Glass:

 Creating frosted glass is a simple project that can enhance the beauty of your windows, glass doors, or glass cabinets. This technique adds warmth and style to any décor.

The frosted glass project requires that you must thoroughly clean the glass surface to be treated prior to beginning the frosted glass process.

Mix a frosted glass frosting formula with wallpaper paste, white powder paint pigment, water, and acid free PVA glue. Mix all ingredients, except the glue until you have a pudding texture for the frosted glass project. Once this texture is achieved, add a drop of glue so that the mixture will adhere to the glass.

Make your own stencil or purchase one at your home improvement store. Place the stencil on the glass, using painter's tape to secure it to the glass surface you will use to create the frosted glass effect.

If you will be using more than one color in the frosted glass project be sure to make the frosted glass formula for each color you intend to use.

Using a stiff brush, begin applying the frosted glass mixture over the stencil, dabbing the brush into the areas that you are wanting to frost.

Continue in this manner until all of the areas of the glass that you want to turn into frosted glass have been coated.

If you desire a reverse frosted glass effect use a stencil and apply the frosted glass mixture to the outside edges of the stencil.

When complete remove the stencil and allow to dry. Now apply a clear latex or acrylic coating to protect your frosted glass project.
