Heart of Glass: Trend Watch
According to Etsy’s Trend Expert and judge on NBC’s Making It, Dayna Johnson, DIY Stained and painted glass is projected to be one of the top emerging trends for 2020. Etsy has seen a 127% increase in search for stained glass and glass painting supplies as well as completed projects, home decor and gifts. The most prevalent applications are home decor—specifically glass doors, windows and hanging objects. Glass painting also speaks to the sustainable/ eco-friendly trend of 2020—where repurposing vintage bottles, old windows or even jewelry can bring once old items back to life again.

Ensure a successful experience for your customers. Make sure your staff know the ins and outs of how to properly use Montana products:
- Shake well before use; even after short pauses in application
- The color and gloss of the undercoat makes a big impact on the final result
- Multiple coats will lead to a higher density of particles and intensify the effect
- For extra durability and to enhance the effect of the color, users can finish their project with the Montana VARNISH Gloss
- A translucent paint base like Montana GLITTER can easily be covered with many common lacquer types! Suggest combining with Montana GOLD, Montana ACRYLIC markers and conventional acrylic paints
