Everyone loves the New Year. Everyone tries to decorate their homes with garlands, tinsel, and of course toys. Our toys will be unique, as they are completely made with their own hands.
To implement this idea, we need: Matting liquid for GlassMat glass, light bulbs, gouache paints, threads. And a good mood!

We take light bulbs, carefully remove the dust and treat with any alcohol-containing solution (Mr. Muscle is ideal). Next, we need to create a matte surface on the light bulb.
Pour GlassMat liquid into a plastic dish and place light bulbs there for 8-10 minutes.

After matting, the bulbs must be washed with water and dried with a soft towel. Now we give free rein to fantasy and draw different characters and objects.

    Gouache is still not suitable for such a decor. Try using acrylic, it gives gloss and looks more expensive.
