DIY wedding wine glass painting: step-by-step technique
First you need to choose a template for the future drawing. If you yourself do not know how to draw beautifully, then this does not matter. In various stores for needlework, many options are presented for future designs.
You can choose the feather served above, which has a heart in its inner part. For a wedding, this option is perfect.
On the inside of the glass you need to glue the cut out template onto the tape. On the outside, before painting, it is recommended to wipe thoroughly the entire surface with alcohol. Only then can you start painting your wedding glasses with your own hands.
Then you need to put them to dry. It is advisable to leave them no less than a day. At the end, you can still cover the surface with acrylic varnish. Then the drawing will remain for a long time.
Contrast drawing
To make such beautiful glasses you need only two-color paints that will be contrasting. Do-it-yourself workshop for painting wedding glasses with your own hands read on.
In our example, this is gold and blue paint. The leg is covered with dark color after degreasing the surface. To do this, the glasses need to be turned upside down. Time is given for complete drying. Then the acrylic varnish is opened on top of the blue layer. When the product is completely dry, you can continue to paint your wedding glasses with your own hands.
For curly stains, get contour paint. Such splashes can be performed without a template, by eye. This is not difficult. You need to finish the pattern smoothly, moving to individual points. After drying, again varnish and put on the day.
The transition between contrasting colors must also be made out so that the junction is not visible. To do this, you need rhinestones small gold and larger silver. We glue the leg first with two rows of small pebbles. We’ll also have large ones nearby.
Black leaflets with rhinestones
To paint your wedding glasses with your own hands was beautiful, you need to draw lines as thin as possible. Rough and thick contours will look cheap. To get such delicate and delicate patterns as in the next sample, you need to use a needle or a very thin wooden stick. It is simply dipped in paint for drawing and draw one line.
On the bottom of the glass, the outlines of gray leaves are first applied with contour paint. You can immediately apply strokes below, on a round leg. Then we give time to dry. If the work needs to be done urgently and there is no time for the natural drying of the paint, then you can use a hairdryer. But this also does not happen quickly. One site will take more than 10 minutes.
Then we begin the work of decorating and painting wedding glasses with our own hands in black paint. First, the gaps between the contours of the leaves are filled. Then it’s better to turn the glasses upside down before drawing long curved lines. So it will be much more convenient. As you can see, the technique of painting wedding glasses with your own hands is simple, you just need to try to keep the lines as thin as possible, then the product will look spectacular.
It remains only to make beautiful and smooth rings around the thinnest part of the glass with gold paint. After complete drying, glue white rhinestones on the ends of the twigs. Pebbles of different sizes look original. Small ones are glued to the leg at the end of each stroke. Berries sit on top of branches.
Decoration of glasses with ribbons
Glasses decorated with ribbons always look professional and stylish. Starting from the simplest option, when the legs of the glasses are tied with beautiful bows, glued to the central part of the pebbles or bead, to more complex windings of the entire glass. Often make products for the bride and groom in different ways. Look at the photo below. The glass for the groom represents a suit with a white collar and tie, which harmonizes in color with the color of the “dress” on the glass for the bride.
The "dress" is decorated with roses and a full skirt of guipure lace. The winding is glued to the PVA glue, having previously coated with a brush the entire leg of the product. And roses will be better kept on a transparent "Moment - Crystal" or when using an adhesive hot gun. The girl’s glass can also be glued with shiny pebbles, beads or rhinestones.
Ribbon roses
For painting wedding glasses with your own hands, ideas can be taken from any type of needlework. So the ability to make roses from satin ribbons can come in handy. Such decoration will take place in several stages. The first is drawing a pattern, in this case, applying contour branches of a bush with paint. Then you will need to make many flowers, which will subsequently be glued to the branches.
From satin ribbons on the upper part of the legs you need to glue and tie a bow. In the end, only decoration with half beads and a pebble will remain. They are glued in random order along the length of the twig, at their upper ends. The big pebble serves as the decoration of the knot on the bow, which is framed by a thin part of the leg of the glass.
Ribbon Tie
This decoration of wedding glasses is one of the simplest ones using satin ribbons. They are selected in a store of contrasting colors. For a man, it can be black or blue, although if the groom's suit is white, then you can arrange a glass in bright colors. Ribbons are bought thin. Since the wrapping takes place with an overlap, the length is taken with a good margin. Work begins from top to bottom. The glass is lubricated with PVA glue and the master should wrap around the entire surface, tightly pressing the tape to the glass. The process is long and painstaking, but you can’t rush, since any shifted turn will cause the product to look messy.
When the strapping is completed, you need to give time to dry completely. To keep the bottom edge well and not puff, you can put on a clothespin for a while.
Further work continues on the decoration. Additional elements will be lace, stones - large and small, of different sizes. A bow tie on a man’s glass is made separately from a ribbon of the same color as the bride’s “dress”. Better all will keep small parts, if you use an adhesive gun.
Such a “pair” looks attractive, and there are many manufacturing options, as well as a variety of color schemes.
Using Modeling Elements
Glasses that are decorated with plastic parts look very nice. It is not difficult to mold from such a material; molding methods can be tried on clay or dough. If you get flowers or any other elements, then you can get to work. It is better to buy imported plastic, in the reviews of needlewomen praise Belgian products. Separately sculpt all the details and stick to the glass goblets.
If the details are small and do not grasp the bends of the glasses, then they can be dried separately. If the details are large, for example, a swan, then they dry it in the oven with a glass. Do not be afraid, the glass will not crack. You need to put the blanks in a cold oven, then it, gradually warming up, will dry the elements that will take the form of a round surface. Drying takes place within 10-15 minutes, not more. Then you need to carefully remove the stucco molding from the glass and, degreasing the surface of the glass, glue the molding to the Moment Crystal glue or using an adhesive gun. You can also try PVA glue.
Leaf decoration
If the glasses are decorated with plastic over the entire surface, including the leg, then the stucco molding cannot be removed after baking. But when covering the entire glass, the plastic hardens, hardens and will not budge. So you can leave the product after baking in the same form, without gluing.
