Pattern Preparation:
1. Trace “Party” and “Cheers” pattern onto a sheet of tracing paper using pencil.
2. Cut pattern to fit inside glassware.
3. Tape pattern in place with a piece of stencil tape.

Bake Method of Curing FolkArt Enamels:
Allow your piece to dry for one hour to be sure all layers of paint have dried. Place the piece in a cool oven. Set the oven temperature to 350ºF and bake for 30 minutes. Glass must heat gradually with the oven to avoid breakage. Do not place glass in a hot oven. After 30 minutes, turn the oven off. Let glass cool completely in oven. Do not use for 72 hours.

Air Dry Method for Curing FolkArt Enamels:
Air Dry the project for 21 days before using.

NOTE: Food or beverages should not make contact with the painted design. When painting stemware, allow 3/4” along the top rim of the glass to remain paint free.
