How to Create Glass Buttons in Illustrator
You see it all over the Internet. The shinny glass buttons. Seems like every web site you go to has those glass buttons that make the web page stand out with a little bit of a pop. Even though I think the glass buttons that you see on the Internet might be a little over used. It’s still fun to create..
So, if your question is… How do I create glass buttons?? There are a lot of tutorials out there that show you how to create glass buttons using Photoshop. However have you ever thought of using Adobe Illustrator to accomplish this task. Well, I would love to show you.
The good thing about using illustrator is, you can swap out colors easily on the fly without having to edit to much. Watch the video and you will see just how easy it is to create glass buttons in Adobe Illustrator.

Chad, amazing tutorial. I must have watched five online videos trying and teach their way through making a glass button but the results of this one were not only the best in appearance but also the easiest! Thanks.
This video was a huge help, thanks! I’ve also been looking at a variety of tutorials on how to make glass buttons, and I must agree that your buttons look great =)
Great tutorial! this is the best on how to do the glass buttons i’ve seen yet!
thanks for the tutorial, chad. using the outline mode at the beginning really helped me get my head around the anatomy of the glass button! cheers.
Thank you, have looked at loads of tutorials for this and all so very obscure and complicated (and don’t look like glass buttons either!). This one is brilliant, simple and very effective
I always use Adobe illustrator at work because i work in an animation studio. this is really a serious tool for the graphic artist.’.`
