Ivy Hand-painted Glass Container

I have found a large old coffee jar and decided to paint some ivy onto it, as ivy seems to sell well. First of was the outlining. I draw out my design on paper first so that I can rub it out easily and start again if necessary. Then I put my picture inside with BluTac and trace over with the paint outliner. 

Then after this has dried I simply colour it in with my glass paints,bake at 160 for 45 minutes and hey presto.

I added an ivy leaf onto the top as well. You could  fill it with sweets, teabags, cotton wool or anything else really.
