After exclusivity, the main advantage is that such decor cannot be accidentally disturbed, as happens with lace, rhinestones or ribbons. It does not deteriorate and does not fall off the glass, so the wine glasses have a long service life.
Depending on the execution technique, certain paints are used, which vary for each case. When the drawing is done in a mixed style, several types of materials are used.
The main types of paints used to decorate a glass:
- Water-based acrylic (stained glass) paints acquire a muted color when they harden. glossy shine, and when undiluted they give a slightly convex pattern. The picture on the glass takes a long time to dry; it may require firing to consolidate the result, but this method is dangerous for thin-walled wine glasses.
- Solvent paints, also classified as stained glass paints, are based on varnish compositions, which is why they are more fluid and harden quickly. Therefore, to increase transparency, a special solution will be required. Pictures look good on glass, especially if the design does not involve a ribbed surface.
- Contour paints are a thick mass placed in a tube with a sharp spout, made specifically for drawing thin lines.
To make the pattern convex, the manufacturers created a fairly dense texture. After all, it is used for drawing details or contours.
- Techniques used to paint wedding glasses:
- Dotted or confetti. The selected colors are applied with matches, toothpicks or cotton swabs, depending on the required diameter. In this case, acrylic paints are used to create the pattern.
- Picture in stained glass style. This design creates a specific pattern using stained glass paints, after which, after drying, an outline is applied depicting lead or gilded bindings. To make the glass look like a real cathedral, the base paint should be slightly translucent, showing the passage of light rays through the picture.
This creates the feeling of a mosaic.
Stained glass paints are often used to create drawings, especially in an authentic style. And contour pictures are used to draw schematic pictures, or individual small details that should protrude above the surface.

Paint of the selected color is poured into a disposable container. Having dipped a cotton swab into the paint, they begin to make dots from the very bottom of the bowl. The distance between them is approximately the same so that the decoration looks uniform. After completing the first row, the next one begins, while the pressure with the stick decreases - this method will produce smaller circles. When this ceases to work, they switch to painting with matches.
The higher the dots rise in the glass, the less common they are.
At the same time, they are arranged in a chaotic order. Sometimes they are made into curls or pyramids.
Stop placing dots 1.5-2 cm before the edge of the glass. This is done to prevent paint particles from getting into your mouth. The leg and stand are most often left clean.

After the glass has dried from the alcohol, the boundary is closed and the next stage is started. Sometimes there is a more complex method of execution - drawing a solid line.
When the main figure is completed, dots begin to be drawn on the sides of the wine glass. At the same time, they try to ensure that the different colors and sizes of the circles are distributed randomly.
The dots gradually become smaller, leaving large gaps between them. At the same time, a clean strip the size of the main pattern is maintained at the back. This is done to make the glass look lighter and lighter.
DIY painting of wedding glasses with acrylic paints - tips and ideas
Painting is the most difficult way to create a design on glasses. This technique is only suitable for people with developed drawing skills.
, is a point decoration. To create it, you do not need the ability to draw, and it does not require a lot of time and resources.
- 2 plastic plates;
- 1 plastic glass (for washing);
- brushes;
- cotton buds;
- acrylic paints the right colors;
- cotton pads and degreaser.
The glasses are prepared for drawing and turned upside down. After this, water is poured into a glass, and paint is squeezed onto one of the plates. The second vessel will serve as a stand for wet brushes.
To draw the stamens, cotton swabs are dipped in paint and dots are randomly placed along the bottom of the glass. In this case, the colors and sizes of the circles should differ slightly. When the stamens are completed, they are left to dry for 2-3 hours.
Sometimes it is advised to bake paints to finish the job faster, but wedding glasses are fragile and can crack from high temperatures. Therefore, it is better to let the paint dry naturally.
After drying, draw the petals of the plant. They are made with a thick brush, and then the veins and details are drawn. When all the small elements are completed, the glass is again given time to harden.
The last step is decorating the stem of the glass. It is covered with green paint, depicting the stem of a plant.

In this video you will learn more about painting a wedding glass:
When the desire to create complex drawing on wedding glasses, but there is no skill in working with paints and glass, ready-made sketches and stencils will help. After all, the principle of creating decor is to print and cut out the pattern, then apply it to the glass and paint over the voids.

Rhinestones are a versatile material for decorating glasses, and there are many colors or patterns that can be used for a wedding. They are also quite neutral, but due to the reflections of light they are noticeable and bewitchingly beautiful.
At correct technique When decorating, such decorations are more durable than ribbons and lace, so if champagne accidentally gets on them, they will not lose their shape.
Decor ideas
Decorating with rhinestones is a painstaking job, and the more complex the chosen pattern, the more attention and time you will have to devote to each glass.
The most interesting ideas:
- Decorate the stand and stem of the glass, leaving the bowl clean. The decor can be either plain or in the form of a twisting spiral.
- Placing the initials of the newlyweds on the bowl.
- Laying out symbolic images of rings or hearts.
- Laying out figures of birds or flowers - this will require the smallest type of rhinestones, many different colors, as well as preliminary work with sketches.
Very difficult to do - but this is the most memorable option.
2 master classes
Wedding glasses with rhinestones can be made in two ways, the most common are to place patterns or initials on the bowl of the glass, or paste over the stems of a glass in an unusual, beautiful, but less symbolic way.
The first way is to lay out patterns on the bowls. 
Necessary materials:
- glasses, preferably with colored stems;
- rhinestones, a little white, but more colored;
- a large bead, preferably in the form of a pearl;
- satin ribbon 0.5 m long, 1 cm wide;
- glue or a special gun, depending on the type of rhinestone;
- toothpicks;
- lighter;
- cloth and alcohol.
First, prepare the glasses by washing them thoroughly, and after drying, wiping them with a napkin with alcohol.
The rhinestones are laid out on a separate stand, and you need to carefully ensure that all of them are on the top side - this will prevent errors during work.
To obtain the correct patterns and to avoid errors when gluing, a stencil is cut out.
In order to make hearts like in the photo, they are first laid out on paper, traced inside, and then a blank is cut out, which will be held with a finger.
You can do the same with the outer contour, but then the strip is made so that it can wrap around the bowl. The choice of method depends on the complexity of the pattern and how its lines intersect. There are two methods of gluing - with an applicator gun and applying glue with a toothpick.
This depends on the type of rhinestones; some already have a special composition, and it needs to be heated with a device, while others are completely clean on the reverse side.
In this example, an internal stencil was applied to the glass, after which the rhinestone was taken with a gun and applied to the glass, waiting for the allotted time. After big heart It was ready, we proceeded to the small one, making it in the same way.
One row of larger rhinestones is glued along the very edge of the stand. The selected color is alternated with white. In the middle of the leg, three rings are made, separated by 1 cm of empty space. The bottom and top are in the main shade, the middle is neutral.
The final stage is the creation satin bow. To do this, the tape is cut into two equal parts. A neat bow is formed from one, securing it in the middle with several stitches. The edges are cut obliquely for a more beautiful design.
To prevent the ribbon from unraveling, it is necessary to burn the ends. To do this, put the smallest flame on the lighter and carefully move it along the edges.
Glue the finished bow under the design, to the very top of the stem of the glass, and stick half a pearl on it. The wedding glass is ready.
The second method is to glue the stem of the glass. Necessary materials:
- glass glue;
- rhinestones, it is best to choose 2.5 mm and 3 mm;
- toothpick for glue;
- stick or tweezers for placing rhinestones;
- simple glasses, with a smooth bend of the stand into a stem;
- Cotton cloth, cloth napkin and alcohol.
To begin, wash the glasses with dish soap and then wipe them dry with a cotton towel.
Preparation continues by completely degreasing the surfaces of not only the stem, but also the bowl, using a cloth soaked in alcohol. It is also recommended to clean rhinestones by wiping them with alcohol; you can use a cotton swab for this.
Cleaning must be done to avoid problems with adhesion if dust or grease gets between the surfaces.
IN otherwise the design will be unreliable, and the rhinestones will begin to fall out. Decoration begins from the outer edge of the stand. A drop of glue, slightly smaller than the diameter of the crystal, is applied to the prepared stem of the glass. This is done with a toothpick, and if the stone is quite large, cut off the sharp tip of the stick so that the solution drips in large volumes.
The glue needs to be given time to dry, 5-10 seconds is enough, after which 1 rhinestone is taken with tweezers and carefully placed in place, pressing lightly. There are special applicators for rhinestones that have a surface at the end that holds the stone. They are easier to work with than tweezers due to greater freedom of movement.
All other rhinestones are glued in the same way. If the row cannot be completed due to a smaller gap than the size of the stone, then a smaller one is installed, or the last 3-4 are made with small gaps.
The second row begins to be laid in the gaps from the first row, it turns out that each subsequent rhinestone hangs over the previous two. And all other lines are made using the same technique.
When the stand is finished, they move on to decorating the legs. For this purpose, we chose glasses with a smooth transition, so that the rows did not stop until the bowl itself. For this you need rhinestones with a diameter of 2.5 mm; large ones will look ugly.
The rows of rhinestones end when they reach the transition of the leg into the bowl. It is advisable that it be sharp, then it will look more beautiful.
Small rhinestones are glued onto the bowl in a chaotic manner over the entire area. They should look like air bubbles coming out of champagne.
This video is an example of DIY decoration wedding glasses rhinestones:
Decorating wedding glasses with rhinestones, although labor-intensive, is a simple process that does not require special knowledge or skills. This decor allows you to show your imagination in manufacturing. Created with your own hands, such wine glasses will demonstrate not only the feelings, but also the individuality of the newlyweds.
Good day everyone!
Today we’ll talk about such a pleasant topic as wedding decorations.
You can, of course, do it in a simple way, but, as they say, a wedding comes once in a lifetime. Therefore, it is necessary to arrange it in such a way that it will be remembered by everyone, both the bride and groom, and the guests.
Decorations for a wedding include not only decorating the walls with festive posters and garlands. This is the table itself, where decorated glasses play an important role.
In addition to traditional wedding gifts, such decorated glasses can also become not only a wedding offering, but also a memory of a special event.
There are many different ways to decorate glasses. Of course, when ordering a banquet, specialists do everything themselves, decorating both the walls and the table. But if you decide to hold a wedding celebration at home, then you will have to do the wedding preparations yourself.
How you can decorate wedding glasses will be discussed below.
So, there are many most various options. Perhaps not everything is covered here, so if you have some of your own design ideas, feel free to share them in the comments.
Fabric and lace
Fabric is a material that is almost always on hand. With a little imagination you can make some nice decor with this material.
Let's start with the fact that you can decorate the glasses in the same colors as the outfits of the bride and groom. For example, red and white colors.
It is best to use openwork lush fabric. We wrap it around the glass, and at the bottom (the stem of the glass) you can wrap it with a ribbon and tie a bow, or you can just make it into a bow.
If the wedding is classic: the groom is in black and the bride is in white, then we wrap the glasses in the same color with openwork material. For the bride's glass, you can tie the stem with a bow or make something like a skirt.
Thus, you need to choose lush and wide lace that will hold its shape well.
The general scheme for covering glasses with fabric is as follows:
- A piece of fabric of the required width and length is cut and wrapped around the glass. It is better to wrap not from the very edge of the glass, but slightly away from it, since you will be gluing the ends of the fabric. Otherwise, instead of the taste of champagne, the newlyweds may taste glue.
- The stem of the glass is covered with either a bow or a skirt. A skirt will look better for the bride's glass. And the glasses themselves will immediately stand out: which one is for the bride and which one is for the groom. This matters if you decorate both glasses with the same color.
This is an option for a glass for the bride. The next option for glasses is for both the bride and the groom.
Decorate glasses with paints
You can decorate wedding glasses using paints. Before you start decorating like this, you need to choose necessary colors. Acrylic ones are good for this. Before applying paint, the glasses must be degreased, and after painting the glasses will need to be coated with acrylic varnish.
The painting of glasses can be either patterned or applied with pictures. For example, these:
However, this option is only within the power of the artist. However, if you use stencils, you can do everything yourself. But, even when applying patterns, it is best to use stencils. You can find suitable images on the Internet, download, print, cut out and apply to a glass.
For work you will need paints and construction (painting) tape. The part of the glass that will not be painted is wrapped with tape. In addition, the tape will be convenient to hold the glass while painting.
We wrap the rest of the glass with a stencil and apply paint with a brush or aerosol can. If you are not doing a drawing, but simply painting without a stencil, then you can carefully apply the paint only with a spray can.
In terms of color, paints in shades such as golden, silver, pearl gray, white-pink and golden beige are suitable. You can also use nail polishes of the corresponding color.
After the glass is painted, it must be left to dry for 20 hours. After this, cover with a special varnish.
Decorate with ribbons
Decorating glasses with ribbons is an option for decorating with fabrics, only here the glass is beautifully wrapped in ribbon and a bow is made.
There are a lot of design options. This includes simple wrapping and the creation of more complex pictures. Here are only presented possible options. It is advisable to use ribbons of different colors for the bride and groom.
However, the choice remains with the decorator. Even glasses made the same way look beautiful. The material of the ribbons is satin, and if you add bows, rhinestones or beads, the finished product will look very beautiful.
The different textures also look good. Let's say three ribbons made of satin, silk and nylon. The simplest decoration option is to wrap a ribbon around the glass in a spiral and make a bow on its stem.
And here is another simple option for using ribbons. If you wrap the glass for the bride and groom in different ways - top and bottom and tie a bow, it will turn out very elegant.
And one more simple one nice option. Here, compared to the previous one, we wrap the ribbon only around the stem of the glass, and for beauty, you can stick a few beads on the base.
You can even make the glasses of the bride and groom distinctive by gluing the first letter of the name of each hero of the occasion from beads.
Sequins and beads
Sequins and beads, of course, add great solemnity to the glasses. Rhinestones are also used for this.
To glue rhinestones, you can use glue based on cyanoacrylate. In addition, those who are engaged in decorating recommend colorless varnish.
True, the drawing here will be a little more complicated, since stencils will no longer work, but creating your own drawing will still not be difficult.
You can simply randomly scatter the beads around the glass. This will also look quite original. As for sparkles, it’s a little simpler. Using a brush, draw a pattern in the glue, and then sprinkle the glass with glitter. Then shake off the excess that does not stick.
Using red rhinestones, for example, you can make such a wonderful decor.
Feathers
Not quite an ordinary decoration for glasses. However, it creates a certain solemnity, and even, one might say, pomp.
Especially if you use feathers in combination with other materials. True, if you are holding a wedding in a classic style, then it is better to avoid decorating glasses with feathers.
An example of decorating glasses with feathers and ribbon.
You can make the glasses a little different for the bride and groom.
If we are already talking about using feathers. Then why not use flower petals, such as roses. Moreover, flowers are the main attribute not only of a wedding, but also of any other holiday.
Rose petals
Rose petals on glasses look beautiful, of course, but this decor is short-lived and is only used during a wedding.
Before use, the bud must be disassembled into individual petals. The petals must be glued from top to bottom, since they overlap. We start gluing with the smallest ones, and the larger ones are already glued to the base of the wine glass. Having glued the first row, we leave it to dry, then the second row, stepping back half a centimeter from the first, dry again, etc.
As a result, the glass will be in the center of the rose. Looks quite attractive.
However, you can also use artificial flowers. With them, the glasses can be saved as a keepsake.
Artificial flowers
The use of artificial flowers somewhat simplifies decoration, since they are still easier to find, and the price is not the same as for real ones. You can decorate in the same way as in the previous case, by disassembling the flower into petals, as well as with whole flowers.
There are a lot of options for such decoration, so with the proper imagination, everything will work out. You can decorate only the stem of the glass, and the glass itself.
It is better to use small flowers. They are glued with regular glue, such as “superglue”.
If you like to sculpt, then the next option for decorating glasses is for you.
Using polymer clay
Using clay will make the design on the glass more voluminous and interesting.
What’s good is that during sculpting you can change the design if something doesn’t suit you. In addition, the finished element can be applied to the glass, checking how it fits.
The finished decorative elements are baked before gluing.
Before you start sculpting, the clay is rolled out. When making, for example, flowers, small pieces are cut from the rolled out layer, from which petals are then made. The finished flower is baked and then glued to the glass with glue.
The process of working with clay is more labor-intensive and meticulous than others. However, the result is quite impressive. After all, with the help of flowers made from clay, you can decorate not only glasses, but also make a whole gift set.
Making wine glasses in the shape of the bride and groom
Perhaps this option is the most interesting not only for the newlyweds themselves, but also for the guests. Especially if the decor of the glass matches the clothes of the newlyweds themselves. For example, this one in strict classical colors.
In this decor you can use various combinations. This includes fabric, lace, ribbons, and beads.
Here you can also make either simple compositions or complex ones, as in the top picture. It all depends on your imagination. For example, this is a simple composition using ribbons and mesh fabric.
Here, for the groom's glass, a white and black ribbon is taken, which is wrapped around the glass, creating something like a shirt. A butterfly bow is crocheted on top. In the picture, the buttons are made in the form of sparkling stars. But you can also use natural buttons of a suitable size.
As for the bride's glass, the fabric is attached with ribbon in the form of a veil. Bead decor is added. You can use rhinestones - at your discretion.
Or this option. For the bride, the fabric on the glass is already made from the dress.
In principle, it is not at all necessary to dress the glasses as the bride and groom are dressed. You can just different tapes Select which glass is for the bride and which is for the groom. This option is quite easy, but no less beautiful.
In general, there are many options for such decor, the main thing is to use your imagination a little and then the product will turn out to be original. After the banquet you won’t want to take it apart.
