Funky wine glasses

Hello again!

Thursday is "Mummy and Melody Day", so today we went to check out the new Spotlight store at Capalaba... OMGosh! Sooooo ridiculously busy!! But we got a few cool things to make some awesomely decorated wine glasses with!

Here is what you need:

* How ever many wine glasses you want (I used a 6 pack from Ikea for $5.99 - so it didnt matter much if they broke!)
* Fine glitter (fine will work a lot better than course!) - we used Blue and Purple
* Sticky tape
* Sponge paint brushes
* Mod Podge (there are several types, this one is a gloss that you can use as glue and as a sealer)
* Paper or something to go under it because it's messy!!



First up, you need to make sure the glasses are clean, and then stick a line of sticky tape around the glass - so you know where the glitter has to go!

(Bit hard to see sorry!)

After you've done this, you can start spreading the Mod Podge onto the glass...

And then glitter away!!

This is the glass after 1 coat of glitter...

I let it dry for abut 30mins, and then apply another coat of Mod Podge, and then more glitter. This is a picture after 2 coats...

I then let it dry for about 2 hours, just to make sure it was dried properly, and then I applied a top coat of just Mod Podge, to smoother it over and stop the glitter from coming off.

*When you are applying it, make sure it spreads out evenly, otherwise you will end up with dried blobs of it on the outside. If this does happen, gently sand it with some sand paper.

Let that dry for a couple of hours, and then apply another top coat. I then let this one dry overnight, and then I did another coat.

I ended up doing 4 coats of the Mod Podge all together, and then letting it dry for a few days.

To remove the tape evenly, I (carefully!) used a stanley knife and cut along the edge where the tape meets the glitter. Once I had gone around the whole edge, I peeled it off, and then used the stanley knife to tidy up any rough edges.

Melody was after me and after me to use them at dinner - so we did. Here's how they looked:

 Very pretty and cute I reckon!

Other ideas are you can use different colours for Christmas, to match table clothes, do a lot of different colours so you know which glass belongs to whom, so many ideas!

Happy creating!
