She's So Crafty DIY Wine Glass Project

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.

And Firmoo was his name-o

I thought some of you out there in blog land may need or value this information on where to get really good glasses ~ CHEAP!  I saw a video on-line by Jennifer Brooks about a company called Firmoo and I was desperatly in need of replacement glasses (I had the same pair for over 10 years).  I went to the site and checked out what they had to offer.  They have a special that if you have never used the site before your first pair of glasses are “free”.  I upgraded the glasses to include anti-glare and photochromic lenses.  The total including shipping came to less than $40.00 and I also ordered a pair of glasses for my son recently, those are about $40.00 too!  The glasses came with a hard case, soft bag, cleansing cloth and glass repair kit.

 

 

I LOVE these glasses, the cost was sprinkles on-top of a beautiful yummy cake of awesome.  I would have paid more than $300.00 for the same quality at my usual store...now why would you purchase anywhere else is beyond me?
