If you are know someone who is getting married and would like to give them a fun little gift, this is the project for you! It's inexpensive, fun to do, and can be made to go with any color scheme or theme! It's also totally personal because you are going to make it to match whatever their wedding colors are! This would be a great shower gift so the bride and her ladies can use them at a bachelorette gathering or on the wedding day itself when they are getting ready for the big day!
I went looking for disposable wine glasses. I found these at a local dollar store. You could use real glass but if you can find the plastic, I recommend that so you don't have to worry about breakage during transport or use.
Wash your glasses and allow them to dry thoroughly. Use a soft cloth to dry them to avoid water marks. Get all your supplies ready and have them at hand.
Once your glasses are completely dry, you will paint your glasses. The idea is to paint the top part of the glass to mimic the neckline of a dress. This process will take at least two coats of paint,if not three. Hold your painted glass up to the light to make sure you can't see through the paint. Also run your paint color down the stem of your glass so you will have a nice finished look when you are through decorating your glasses.
After your paint has dried, you can start decorating your glasses. Obviously there are many different ways you can do this. I used ribbon to go around the top of the dress and a glass jewel in the neckline. A hot glue gun worked well to hold them on. I then started adding the skirt. For this I used netting and started winding it around and gluing it on.
Once everything is glued on and dry, you will probably need to pull some dried glue off the glasses where it has pushed out from under your ribbon and netting. Use extra ribbon to go around the top of your skirts or a small, narrow piece of netting so that you have a nice finished edge.
Match your bridesmaid's dress color as close as you can to the actual wedding colors and then of course white or ivory for your bride's special glass. I made these for my daughter's bridal party for her wedding that was in June. The girls' loved them

Josette on Nov 02, 2016Can I use real glasses or does the acrylic paint only stick to plastic glass

The Redesign Habit on Nov 02, 2016Hi. If you're using real glass I would suggest you use paint specifically for glass. Good luck!
