What type of paint for sponging on glass jar? ?

Hi there,


I'm making light up pumpkins from jars and need to know of a paint that I can use on glass. I'm going to sponge it on so it isn't too opaque. The jar will have a single light bulb in it and will light up. Any ideas of what type of paint will work well?

Try Ranger's Acrylic Paint. Or Ranger's Alcohol inks is another alternative - gives you very nice background patterns on glass. What type of paint for sponging on glass jar? ?
Actually I don't know if the brand of paint matters Acrylic is the obvious choice because it dries fast. If you do it without primer I'd make sure the glass is squeaky clean, a vinegar rinse should help.





Plaid has paint specifically for glass called Gallery Glass.


If you are going to keep these around after Halloween you should prime the surface so the paint sticks. Plaid also has a primer. If you plan on having the painting on the glass surface last, a sealer would be a good idea to help keep it from peeling off.
