Stained glass on tea mugs
Stores for creativity are full of goods for painting glass, ceramics, fabric, leather. The painting of glass with stained-glass paints is called a false stained glass window. The success of the whole enterprise depends to a large extent on the choice of the plot. It is not necessary to make a full-value stained-glass window, in which a drawing drawn by a convex contour is filled with transparent lacquer-colored inks. You can buy only white and, for example, silver contours and paint a cup with frosty patterns and ornate snowflakes. Or depict a white contour of a cartoon snowman.

Of course, we must not forget about the candles. These indispensable attributes of the New Year will be an excellent gift, if you put a little bit of diligence and imagination. If this is your debut in candlestick, let's take for production a simple figure of a snowman. It can be a small figurine or a toy. You can, of course, blind the original model and from plasticine, just do not want to complicate the process. So, we take a children's toy, cover it with petroleum jelly, then tightly cover with any building silicone sealant. To strengthen a thin-walled silicone mold, a toy covered with a dried sealant can be placed in a box and filled with gypsum up to half the volume. Then turn the workpiece over, ply the foil between the two halves and fill the second part. As a material for casting candles, shredded household candles with the addition of children's wax crayons, in this case, white, are quite appropriate. You can color the finished candle with the same long-suffering acrylic.
