Confetti Tumblers

         About a year ago I picked up these very cute stemless wine glasses at Target, and they reminded me of a Anthropologie set that were replicated on a blog post! I tried the project and here's what I came up with!


So let's get started!



Supplies you will need:
1. Glasses or cups
2. Rubbing Alcohol
3. Q-Tips/Cotton Swabs
4. Paint (Enamel works best for glassware, I recommend primary colors plus white)
5. Paper Towel
6. Paint Pallet (or something to hold/mix paints)
7. Newspaper (or another thing to protect surfaces)
8. Parchment Paper
9. Cookie Sheet

*NOTE: Before you start you should plan out the colors you'll use on the glasses* 

Step 1: You'll want to clean your glasses before you paint them, so you have a nice surface to paint on. Use your rubbing alcohol and paper towel to wipe the glasses.

Step 2: Now you'll want to start mixing the colors for the first glass. I made one cool toned, one warm toned, one primary colored, and one primary/secondary colored. Let's start with the primary colored, as that's the easiest!

Step 3: Break out your Q-Tips and start dotting painting away! Don't stick to a pattern, make it organic, it's okay if it isn't perfect, try not to leave too much empty space in between the dots.




Step 4: Mix the paints for the next glass, and paint

Step 5: Repeat Step 4 until you've made all the glasses you want!



Step 6: Let the glasses air dry for four days.

Step 7: Lay the glasses right side up on parchment paper on a cookie sheet




Step 8: Put the cookie sheet with the glasses in a cool oven and set the time to 30 minutes and the temperature to 325°F. Turn the heat off after the thirty minutes, but leave the cookie sheet with the glasses in the oven for at least another hour. After the final hour, remove the cookie sheet aaaaaaaaand.......


You're finished!


Enjoy with your adorable, new confetti tumblers!
