Personalized Wine glasses

So let’s talk about Christmas gifts! I know it’s only the beginning of November but Christmas is just around the corner. If you’re like me and you’re making handmade Christmas gifts now is the time to get them started and finished fast. Because let’s face it Christmas sneaks up on us every year. I also wanted to point out that these personalized Wine glasses are a great any kind gift. These will be perfect for hostesses gift, house warming gift, birthday gift, I’m sure you get it the idea. I’m also going to include a YouTube video below that will also explain the process for these.

These wine glasses are very simple to make but do require a little bit of time. I’m going to try to explain this the best I can, if you have any questions you can e-mail me or send a private message through my YouTube channel. Let’s go ahead and talk about the supplies you’re going to need for this project. First you need some kind of a glass; I purchased mine from the dollar store. Next you’re going to need some glitter, for this project I prefer to use extra fine glitter. You’re also going to need mod podge, triple thick brilliant brush on gloss glaze, paintbrush, vinyl( I prefer to use outdoor vinyl oracle 651), some kind of die cutting machine, paper towels or baby wipes. And I also forgot to mention transfer paper or contact paper. Okay let’s go ahead and get started making these.

Step one is putting on the glitter. On my wine glasses I used to coats of the glitter on the darker colors, and on the pink glitter I use three coats. It really just depends on your own preferences. So I took my paintbrush and painted on a very thin even layer of mod podge and then coated it with a layer of glitter. Repeat this step as many times as you prefer just remember to leave each layer dry at least 4 to 5 hours in between coats.  For my glasses I have used extra fine glitter, and that would be my recommendation on what to use. I do not know what the results would be if you use a course glitter.

Step two is to put on a topcoat to make your stem and base smooth again. I like to use triple thick brilliant brush on gloss glaze. You can pick this up at any Hobby lobby, Michael’s or JoAnn fabric stores. Now the trick to make this stuff work is very thin even layers, and leave them dry completely before applying more. Now for my glasses I had used three layers, and I had left each layer dry for 24 hours. Now that might have been a little bit of overkill but I wanted to make sure that they were completely dry.

Step three is to cut out your vinyl. I used my silhouette to cut my out. You could use any font you would like. I used monogram KK for the initial (that would be the black vinyl), and Gabriella for the names (that would be the colored vinyl). If this is your first time cutting vinyl you want to make sure that you do a kiss cuts. There are plenty of videos on YouTube explaining how to do that.

Step four is to weed your vinyl and use your transfer paper or contact paper to prepare the vinyl to be put on the glass. I do explain this process in my YouTube video which I’ll have posted below.

That’s it now you have a beautiful personalized wine glass either for you to enjoy or for somebody else. These wine glasses are very inexpensive to make but yet look very expensive. I hope I explained this process easy enough for you to understand if I didn’t I apologize.
