How to Paint a Motif on Wine Glasses
Instructions:


1. Wash glasses thoroughly with soap and water and allow to dry completely.

2. Paint design on glasses. You may use stencils, or place a picture that you like on the inside of the glass, applying your colors on the outside to match the photo. Simple handdrawn graphics like hearts, shamrocks or daisies also work well. Free hand designs will give your work an artsy, hand made look.

3. Remember, with glass, "less is more" and less busy designs often provide the best effect. If you make a mistake, dip a q-tip in rubbing alcohol and gently wipe away anything outside of the design (be aware, however, that if the rubbing alcohol runs into your design, the paint may run or smudge). Be creative, be artistic...if you truly dislike the result, just wash in warm water, or wipe completely with rubbing alcohol until the paint is gone -- and try again!

4. Wait 24 hours to allow paint to set and cure, before baking to set the design permanently. Follow package instructions for baking -- the glasses shown were baked in the oven for 40 minutes at 325 degrees. After baking, your design should be resistant to normal usage and dishwashing.

This would be a super idea for a personalized wedding gift too, you could write the couples names on the glasses and their special wedding date! Truly a gift to be cherished! Gold paint would look awesome for this idea, I cant wait to try it!

I have seen these being sold for 20$ plus dollars. You can get glasses at the dollar store for a dollar a piece that are great quality and use. Great ideas! Thank you!

As an artist, I have painted on canvas and fabric, but never attempted to paint on glass! This sounds really super and I am going to try it as soon as the stores open after Christmas. Thanks for sharing.
