After testing it on a wooden party trough table, I couldn’t wait to see how it worked on glass—and it was even better than I expected! You don’t need artistic skills to create stunning designs; even a child could do it. The best part? Each design is unique, making your project one of a kind. Though I’ve used Unicorn SPiT on other surfaces before, applying it to glass brought a whole new level of creativity to the table.

It was the perfect canvas for a colourful experiment, and although it was meant to become a lamp, it evolved into a striking indoor planter with bold, glass-stained detail.
Working with Unicorn SPiT Gel Stain & Glaze had been on my wishlist for a long time. After seeing it used on countless DIY sites I follow, I was itching to give it a go. My very generous husband treated me to the full colour range, and from the moment it arrived, I was on the lookout for the perfect piece to experiment on. Since I was new to Unicorn SPiT, I wanted to start small. What really caught my attention was how the wood grain stays visible through the stain, creating a beautiful layered effect.
If you’ve never tried Unicorn Spit Stain and Glaze, you’re seriously missing out on one of the most vibrant and fun crafting products out there. This non-toxic, gel-based stain can be used on wood, metal, glass, plastic, ceramic, and more. While it’s often used for colourful wood finishes that let the grain shine through, my favourite way to use Unicorn Spit is on glass, and now, plastic Christmas baubles!
