I fell in love with these glasses at Anthropolgie. They are colorful, fun and a great size. But $30? Paaalease. I don't have that kind of money, but a few bucks into thrift store glasses and a package of paint pens...I am pretty darn happy with this equivalent.
Supplies:
Glasses- Found these at the thrift for $1 a piece! Also found some cute ones at the 99cent store
Paint Pens- this brand was called "Painters" that I found at Joann's (and used my coupon!) for about $10 (but with coupon about $6).**You can use a lot of different brands, just make sure it says it can be used on a glass surface!**
Project Total: $10 !!!
Dot Away....I would focus on one color. Let it set and dry for 2 minutes- you can even work on another glass, by the time I was done with 4 glasses, the first one was dry. Then you can choose another color and continue to dot away....
Keep on Keepin' on.....to get a "full" dotted look I did A LOT of them. I also switched from medium to fine pen widths for variety.
I think the Fiesta Colorful one is my favorite!
For best results let them dry for an entire day then...
To seal the paint put glass in a cold oven and set it to 350 degrees and let them "cook" for 30 minutes, turn oven off, let the glasses cool down in the oven then take them out and let them cool
I recommend hand-washing these beauties
My Summer drink of choice this year has been the Old Fashion, oh man is it good. Love me my night cap and the Hubs makes a perfect one! Now I have some fabulous new glasses for my favorite drink. Enjoy! Cheers!

DeleteWhat a fun way to jazz up some standard glasses!
ReplyDeleteThese are absolutely adorable! Love the idea!
ReplyDeleteReally a great idea. What do I look for in the paint pens? Can you give brand and type? I would love to try this!
ReplyDeleteYou can buy a lot of different kinds of paint pens, just make sure it specifies that it can used on glass. This particular brand is called "painters" and I bought them at Joanns =)
Deletethose are so cute! very clever. and seriously, even if your loaded, who needs to spend $30 on a drinking glass?!?
ReplyDeleteThese look totally doable! Thank you so much for sharing at Thank Goodness It's Thursday {aka TGIT}! I'm so glad you did because it led me right to your blog and I am loving so many of your ideas and blog posts! :)

DeleteCassie, your glasses are even prettier than the Anthro version!! Thank you for sharing how to do it, I was wondering about "setting" the paint, good to know. I have a box of really inexpensive wine glasses I keep in my basement for parties and the holidays and such, I think this would be the perfect thing to do to jazz them up!! Thanks for sharing at Best of the Nest.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa, your so sweet! Happy jazzing up your glasses =)
DeleteSuper cute, Cassie ~ you have my wheels spinning, I think these would be great to make for my neighbors Christmas gifts! :)

ReplyDeleteWould you believe I could not figure out which were the ones you created and which ones were $30? They look really awesome. I think the next time I go to the dollar store I'm going to grab four glasses and re-create this. Are you want Instagram? When I re-create this I'm going to send you a picture on Instagram I will tag you <3
