How to color wine glasses

• Use enamel paints, as others will wash off on first contact with water. Also use brushes for this purpose only.
• Make sure your paint is within its expiration date. If the paint is too old, small hard lumps will appear in your drawing and the entire pattern will look sloppy.
• You may need to apply two to three coats of paint to get a good result. Make sure the paint is completely dry before each application. There are also colored pens on sale that are designed for drawing on glass. This will make the process easier and more convenient.

• Place the foil on a baking sheet.
• Turn on the oven at 180ºC. No oven preheating is required. The idea is to place the glass in a cold oven and gradually heat it up. This will prevent the glass from cracking.
• Immediately place the glasses on the foil and place the baking sheet in the oven.
• Set a timer for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven after 20 minutes and leave the glasses inside for another 10 minutes. After half an hour, remove the glasses from the oven. Or do as it says on the paint box you used. This procedure is carried out so that the glasses can be washed.

The painting of glasses and wine glasses can be different in drawing technique, in the degree of complexity, in the use of materials and, of course, in the subject matter.

Master class # 1: Confetti-style glasses

Wine glasses decorated with small polka dots look very festive and can be either elegant, as in the photo below, or cheerful multi-colored. The circles are associated with champagne bubbles or bright confetti.

What you need: acrylic or contour paints for glass and ceramics, ordinary nail polish (but acrylic paints are much more durable) or a special marker for painting dishes are also suitable. To degrease glasses, prepare nail polish remover, degreaser or alcohol, for drawing - cotton swabs, a pencil with an eraser at the end or a small hard synthetic brush, and for correcting the pattern - cotton pads and swabs.

Painting technique:

1. Thoroughly wash and degrease the glass with alcohol or another cleaner using cotton pads or a tissue.
2. Now you can start drawing circles. Squeeze some paint into a small container or just onto foil (paper, file).

Turn the glass over and start dotting from top to bottom, keeping the same spacing between them. You can draw points as in this master class, that is, starting from large to smaller, gradually increasing the distance between them. Otherwise, the points can be of the same size, different in color, and they can also form a pattern or pattern (point to point or pique technique), and also slightly layered on top of each other.

Advice: It is convenient to put large dots with a pencil eraser, and small ones with a brush or cotton swab with a pointed end as in the photo below (scroll through).

It is better to maintain a distance of about 2 cm from the edge of the glass to the picture, especially if the paint is toxic.

If you draw with contours, then first you need to practice on paper to put small, medium and large points at the same distance from each other and with the same degree of pressure on the tube.

1. Now you need to let the paint dry. Drying methods largely depend on the paint, usually the manufacturer indicates the drying time and the instructions for firing.

Typically painted acrylic paints or circuits require firing if you want to use the glasses frequently and wash them in the dishwasher. To do this, you need to put the glasses in the oven at a temperature of 150-170 degrees for 30 minutes, and then turn off the oven, and without removing the glasses from it, let them cool naturally;

Markers dry 24 hours and do not need firing;

Nail polish dries quickly, but the drawing will not last long, so this option will not work for decorating gift or wedding glasses that you want to leave as a keepsake. But for themed parties better than paint can not found.

And here are other ideas for painting glasses with multicolored polka dots that will decorate any table setting at a fun party.

Polka dots of gold, silver, white flowers more suitable for decorating wedding glasses.

By the way, circles can be not only drawn, but also glued. You can buy vinyl self-adhesive paper of the desired color and cut circles out of it using a hole punch or special scissors, and then carefully glue them to the glass. The photo below shows glasses decorated in this way.

Master class number 2: Artistic painting of glasses

In this master class, we will turn glasses into flowers, because its leg is so similar to a stalk, and a bowl - to a bud.

What you need: any degreaser, cotton pads and cotton swabs for degreasing and correcting the pattern. Prepare artistic synthetic brushes for painting different sizes, plastic plate or a palette for mixing paints, as well as acrylic paints for glass and ceramics. If you wish, you can supplement the drawing with contour and stained glass paints, markers and glitter.

Painting technique:

1. Degrease the surface;
2. We mix paints on a plate or palette, achieving the desired shades. In order to make the color pastel and delicate, color paint is mixed with white;
3. Now we need to draw the stamens: we put points with a narrow small brush or a cotton swab with a pointed end. The pollen can be black, yellow, or orange in color. Our master class uses yellow for drawing the stamens of lilac Italian asters and black for sunflowers.

Further, the flower will be drawn in layers, so you need to wait until the drawn stamens dry. You can dry them naturally, leaving them for 2 hours, or bake them in the oven at 150-170 degrees for 15 minutes.

1. Once the painted pollen is dry, you need to draw the petals as shown in the photo below. If desired, add details - streaks and color nuances. Then you need to let the paint dry (see item 3).

1. The last step is to draw a peduncle and a stalk in green and again we bake our glass flower, but now it's already 30 minutes - and then the paint won't "peel off" from the glass for a very long time.

Well, that's all, the decor of wedding, gift or holiday glasses is complete.

In the photo below you can find others interesting ideas painting with floral and plant motives.

And here are examples of painting on glass with peacock feathers.

The theme of flora and fauna is also very popular.

Glasses for a festive serving of themed parties can be decorated in a bright and funny way.

Glasses as a gift or for a wedding can be additionally decorated with rhinestones, feathers, pearls, sparkles, ribbons and other decor.

Other ways and secrets of painting on glass: how to dry a glass with a painted leg and use a stencil or sketch

If you want to completely paint over the base of the glass, that is, paint over its bottom from below, then you need to dry it hanging or carefully placing it on homemade construction made of paper and four buttons as in the photo below.

Painting on glass is easier to do with a do-it-yourself or printed underlay sketch. the right size on the printer. You can also use the drawing on a napkin. The paper with the image must be laid on the bottom of the glass, aligned and glued with tape as shown in the photo.

Stencils will also help in painting on glass with your own hands. To do this, you need:

1. Draw them yourself or print a picture from the Internet, and then cut out with a clerical knife;

1. Buy ready-made stencils in the store for creativity, which are very easy to stick and peel off;

1. You can draw stripes, geometric abstractions and the simplest patterns according to the principle of a stencil using ordinary or masking tape;

1. You can get the effect of an openwork pattern if you use lace as a stencil.

Advice: you can apply inscriptions or images through a stencil with a special matting paint on glass with the effect of frost or frost, which is sold in art or online stores. An example of such a decor is in the photo below.

Master class number 3: Stained glass painting

Stained glass painting is a slightly more complex painting technique, since stained glass paints, unlike acrylic paints, are much more fluid, and therefore difficult to draw. In addition, they are less wear-resistant, and it will be very difficult to mix colors, since the paints dry very quickly on the palette. But they are more transparent and unusual, and in combination with stained glass contours you can create the effect of real stained glass.

Advice: This type of paint is different, for painting glasses it is better to use baked water-based paints, and not a toxic solvent.

We offer you to watch the following visual master class on stained glass painting on glass:

Natalya Zaporozhets. General cleaning sometimes throws up unpleasant surprises. One of the wine glasses turned out to be burst, and the cracks spread like an asterisk on the floor of the glass.
I don’t know if you’ll see any huge cracks. I carefully washed the glass and put it in front of me. It's a pity that my daughter gave me this set for my birthday. For many years the wine glasses served faithfully. In the place of the split, the walls of the wine glass move from the touch. In the trash can? Well, I won't think of anything? The main thing is to strengthen the wall as much as possible, it is better from the inside. Thank you girls for being on the site, and I borrowed one of the ideas from a great craftswoman.

Thanks to Natasha Burtseva for teaching us to play with different glues. TITANIUM glue (residues) poured into the glass. Pour the split points by rotating the glass. With glue, this is how I play for the first time after reading reviews about frozen.

The glue froze a little, I sprinkle the beads with a spoon. I have 3 types of pink and transparent. Already with beads, we roll the waves along the glass, turning it

Half of the glass with the broken glass was abundantly covered with glue and beads, crushing pink pearls.

The beaded pattern seemed too pale to me, so a red one fell to the bottom
This is a photo of the broken side. The glue hardens and turns white as expected. Bubbles have formed in it. Nicely, I hope when completely dry the bubbles will look great in the light of a candle.
it whole part wine glass. I tried to draw sakura. There will be an addition to my floor lamp
It can be seen that the glue on the back has turned white, but I really want to show what happened. The candle test has not yet been carried out, let it dry in order to evaluate the transparency of the glue in full. I didn't decorate the leg. The decor will appear different depending on the situation and mood Flowers, bows, coniferous branches, stones - everything can be arranged.
Thanks for watching to the end. Perhaps my idea will help you keep your favorite wine glasses on the farm, only in a different capacity. I've thrown away a lot in my life. If I could return them all, now I would get used to a lot of things.

Insert the paper with the pattern inside. Fill the glass with a lump of soft paper so that the image is firmly pressed against the glass and does not move. For applying contour paint no brush needed The tube has a special pointed nose. We draw closed contours of the image so that when working with vintage paint, it does not flow out.
