Instructions
Paint: Paint the outside of both glasses, including the bottom, with glass paint. For a more translucent finish, mix the paint with a small amount of glass paint thinner.
Dry: Place the painted glasses on wax paper and allow them to dry for 24 hours.
Cure: After 24 hours, bake the glasses in a preheated oven at 325°F (163°C) for 40 minutes. This cures the paint and makes it more durable. Let them cool completely.
Assemble: Turn the smaller glass upside down. Apply a generous amount of super glue to the base of the smaller glass.
Stack: Carefully place the larger glass right-side up on top of the smaller glass, ensuring the bases are firmly touching.
Dry: Allow the glue to dry and cure for 24 hours before handling or using the vase.
