decoupage of glasses with cloth

We need to work:

1. The simplest glass

5. Primer, paints, gel

6. Foam rubber or paint brushes

7. All sorts of little things - sparkles, pearls, beads, etc. everything at hand

cup	paints	glue and pantyhose

And now we begin.

Wash the glass thoroughly, degrease and dry. We cut off the tights one and a half times longer than a glass.

If the glass is 20 cm, then you can cut off the pantyhose 28-30 cm ... if it is longer, then there will be a lot of folds.

They cut it off, soaked it - we pull it onto a glass and fasten it on the side by twisting the tourniquet, and from below, at the bottom, pin it with a pin.

We form a beautiful drapery and dry for a couple of days

While we have 2 days everything dries out of plastic or tight salted dough, we make angels. You can see how to make salt dough for modeling. If desired, you can replace the angels with something else from the store.

We paint the angels in angel colors and leave to rest

When the folds on the glasses dry, we begin to paint, first we coat each fold with soil, dry it, and prime it again.

This and the color of the tights will allow you to paint over and give strength to the folds.

After drying, you can paint in the intended color.
We have it in pink, we lighten the folds with mother-of-pearl paint and shade with pink glitter gel.

Then we glue angels, pearls. pearls can also be tinted with glitter gel ...

If you want to paint wine glasses for yourself or as a gift, for a wedding or a themed party, you can be sure that you will get great pleasure from creativity - because it is done easily, quickly and inexpensively.

Before proceeding to step by step master class for painting glasses with your own hands, you need to decide on the future design of your wine glasses, so we suggest you get inspired and draw original ideas"glass" decor in the next chapter.

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

Master class number 1: Glasses in the style of confetti

Glasses decorated with small peas look very festive and can be as elegant as in the photo below, or cheerful multi-colored. Circles are associated with champagne bubbles or bright confetti.

Difficulty level: very simple.

What you need: acrylic or contour paints on glass and ceramics, regular nail polish (but acrylic paints are much more stable) or a special marker for painting dishes will also work. To degrease wine glasses, prepare nail polish remover, degreaser or alcohol, for drawing - cotton buds, a pencil with an eraser on the end or a small hard synthetic brush, and for correcting the picture - cotton pads and sticks.

Painting technique:

1. Thoroughly wash and degrease the glass with alcohol or other means using cotton pads or a napkin.
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 interval between them. You can draw dots as in this master class, that is, starting from large to small, gradually increasing the distance between them. Otherwise, the dots can be the same size, different in color, and they can also form a pattern or pattern (point to point or pique technique), as well as slightly overlap each other.

Advice:

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

• 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 dots 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 firing instructions.

• As a rule, painting with acrylic paints or outlines requires firing if you want to use the glasses often and wash them in the dishwasher. To do this, 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 in 24 hours and do not need to be fired;

• Nail polish dries quickly, but the design will not last long, so for decorating gift or wedding glasses that you want to keep as a keepsake, this option is not suitable. But for holding theme parties You won't find better paint.

And here are other ideas for painting glasses with multi-colored polka dots that will decorate any party at a fun party (swipe the photo to the right).

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

By the way, circles can be not only drawn, but also glued. You can buy self-adhesive vinyl paper of the desired color and cut circles out of it using a hole punch or special scissors, and then carefully stick them onto 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 stem looks so much like a stem, and the bowl looks like a bud.

Difficulty level: average.

What you need: any degreaser, cotton pads and cotton swabs for degreasing and pattern correction. And for painting, prepare artistic synthetic brushes of different sizes, a plastic plate or 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.

Drawing 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, colored paint is mixed with white;
3. Now we need to draw the stamens: we put dots with a narrow small brush or a cotton swab with a pointed end. The color of the pollen can be black, yellow or orange. In our master class, yellow is used to draw the stamens of a lilac Italian aster and black is used for sunflowers.

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

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

1. The last step is to draw the pedicel and stem in green and bake our glass flower again, but now for 30 minutes - and then the paint from the glass will not “peel off” for a very long time.

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

In the photo below, you can find other interesting ideas for painting with floral and plant motifs (scroll).

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

The theme of flora and fauna is also very popular.

Glasses for the festive serving of themed parties can be decorated brightly and funny.

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

Other methods and secrets of painting on glass: how to dry a glass with a stained stem 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 in a suspended state or by carefully placing it on a home-made paper structure and four buttons as in the photo below.

• Painting on glass is easier to do using a sketch-substrate, drawn by yourself or printed in the right size on a printer. You can also use the pattern on the napkin. The paper with the image must be laid on the bottom of the wine glass, aligned and glued with adhesive tape as shown in the photo.

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

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

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

1. You can draw stripes, geometric abstractions and simple stencil drawings using ordinary or masking tape;

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

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