Perk Up Your Wine Glasses DIY By Glue


What You Need:
  •  Scissors
  •  Foam brush
  •  Mod Podge (Glossy)
  • 6-8 Wine Glasses
  • Glass Cleaner
  •  Pen
  • 1 Sheet of Scrapbook Paper with desired pattern (I used a black damask pattern)








Directions:

Step 1: Gather all the materials and tools listed above. I purchased the mod podge and foam brushes from Michaels Arts & Crafts store. To start, trace out the base of each wine glass on the sheet of scrapbook paper. I choose to use a set of 6 multi size wine glasses. Nothing fancy, I just used cheap ones I had sitting in the back of my cabinet which you can easily find at Dollarama.
Step 2: Once you have traced out the base of each wine glass on the sheet of scrapbook paper cut them out. Cut along the inside of your outline so that the circle is slightly smaller than the base of your glass. After cutting out all your circles place your wine glasses upside down and check to ensure that each cut out is properly sized. Make adjustments if needed. 
Step 3:Keep your wine glasses upside down.  It is almost time to start mod podging, but first use a glass cleaner (I used Windex) to clean the base of your wine glasses. Now you can grab your foam brush, dip it in the mod podge and paint a thin layer on each base. You will need to do this two to three times, waiting about 2 minutes between each layer for it to dry. I know it looks like a gluey mess right now, don't be worried, the mod podge will dry clear within 24 hours. Yes I said 24 hours!  This project will need to dry overnight.

Step 4: Now that you have waited patiently gently press your paper circle down on the base of the wine glass, smoothing out any creases or air pockets.  

Step 5: Apply two more thin layers of modge podge on top of the paper circle base waiting 2 minutes between each layer. It will look something like this.


Step 6: Give it 24 hours to dry completely clear. Lastly, enjoy your new and improved wine glasses!
