Jazz up glass jars, antique decanters and trinket boxes with a coat of paint, then use your modernised vessels to elegantly display fresh blooms, hold odds and ends or create vibrant objets d’art. First, clean glassware with warm, soapy water.

When dry, apply a base primer suitable for glass, and allow to dry. Apply two coats of a flat matt acrylic paint – for best results, allow the first coat to fully dry before applying the second.
