This past week I was on a Stay-cation and did many silly things to keep me occupied. One awesome project was hand painting wine glasses. The glasses were $1.00 each as the Dollar store and the Paint I picked up at Michael's with a gift card I had.
You need to look for the wine glass on the label - see above. These bottles cost about $1.50 to $2.00 each.
Use a surface you don't mind getting paint on ~ I used a Pizza box ( I seem to have alot of those in my house..don't judge).

Paint as desired and wait for the color's to dry before moving on to a new color on the glass unless you want to encourage "bleeding" from color to color.
Once you have painted your glasses put them on a shallow cookie sheet and place in a Cold Oven, set the temp for 350 degrees and timer for 30 minutes. The color will lighten a bit.
Once the 30 minutes are up, take them out of the oven and let them cool completely before handling. You can add additional color and "re-cook" for layers but try to keep the paint thinner so it doesn't just chunk off.
I love my new glasses and have been using them for everything under the sun like Juice for breakfast, soda and water etc. Do you have any crafts that you would like to share? please comment or link below.
