This is a super simple
DIY! For my wedding, I wanted to get my bridesmaids wine glasses to
drink our mimosas out of on the morning we got ready. I wanted to be
able to get them a few other things as well, so I didn't want to spend
an arm and a leg for 6 wine glasses. So I decided to do it myself! The
total cost at the end was about $3 per glass; you can't beat that! The
other cool thing about it was I could do whatever I wanted and use what
colors I wanted for each girl. Here was my finished product:
You will need:
-painters tape
-a "pouncer" sponge brush
-glasses
-glass paint
I got my glasses at the
dollar store for $1 each! The sponge brush you can get at any craft
store, and probably even Walmart. I used Martha Stewart glass paint
(from Micheal's). She has several different types, but I wanted to use
the "Pearl" shimmer kind, because I love glitter :) Here's a close up of
the paint. If you use the "Pearl" paint, I will tell you that the gold
color turned out pretty ugly. I was glad I had gotten an extra glass to
practice on because I ended up tossing the gold glass out.
First, you'll need to
tape off any parts that you want to paint in the middle of the glass. I
did not need to tape anything off on the stem of the glasses because I free handed it, but I did
need to tape off the stripe in the middle. If you stick to painting the
edges of the glass, you may not need tape. Stay away from painting
around the mouth - not sure if this paint is safe to ingest (probably not!). I will tell you, taping straight lines was tricky on a rounded glass. (I recruited my hubby
for help!)
Next, you can paint! I used two coats on mine, allowing an hour dry time in between each coat.
After the last coat is mostly dry, you can gently peel off the tape. You will need to let the paint "cure" to be able to wash the glasses later. You can either bake them (instructions are on the paint box), or you can let them air dry for 21 days. I baked mine - I was nervous about how this would turn out - but it turned out great! Just an FYI, it's normal for there to be a funny smell when these are in the oven.

That's it! You're
finished! The possibilities are endless with this project - you can
ombre the glasses, polka dots, multiple stripes, etc. Pretty much
anything goes here. And all for $3 a glass! My girls gave me lots of
compliments on these, and were even more impressed that I had made them
myself! Not to mention that it was really fun to do.
Go get creative!!
