Allow painted item to dry for 1 hour to be sure all layers of paint have thoroughly dried.Place project in a cool oven.  Set oven temperature to 350ºF.  Once oven temperature has reached 350ºF, begin timer for 30 minutes.  After baking glassware for 30 minutes, turn the oven off.  DO NOT open oven door.  (Allow painted glassware to heat up and cool down along with the oven itself.  It must heat and cool gradually to prevent breakage.)  Once removed from the oven, glassware should not be used or washed for 72 hours.
