A note on how to paint wine glasses: It’ll only take you 30 minutes to paint your wine glasses, BUT they have to dry for four days, bake for 30 minutes, and then cool. So while this is an easy DIY project with not much “hands on” time, it isn’t technically quick.

MATERIALS

Gold, silver, and black gloss enamels paint
Stemless wine glasses
Q-tips
An oven
Rubbing alcohol
Paper towels
Paint tray (or a paper plate)

DIRECTIONS

1. Wipe down the surface of your wine glasses with rubbing alcohol

2. Allow to dry

3. Turn glasses upside down to paint

4. Add gold, silver, and black paint to your paint tray

5. Take a q-tip, lightly dab it in the black paint, and begin dotting your wine glass

Note: Do not put any paint inside the wine glass

Tip: To achieve the look you see here, place more dots on the bottom of your glass and just a few up top

6. Repeat step 5 with your gold and silver paint

7. Set your glasses aside and let them dry for 4 days (yes, seriously, 4 days)

8. AFTER 4 DAYS – Bake your glasses at 325 degrees in a non preheated oven for 30 minutes

9. Turn the oven off, open the door, and allow the glasses to cool before removing them

10. Once cooled to room temperature your glasses are ready

Note: These wine glasses are dishwasher safe as long as you followed the steps in this How to Paint Wine Glasses article.

See, learning how to paint wine glasses wasn’t hard at all!
