Although, wine glasses differ in size and shape, most of them come in the same design. While this is the case, it doesn’t mean that you can’t customize them. Here are some of the ways in which you can decorate your party wine glasses:
Painting
Painting a wine glass is a great way of bringing out your unique artistic touch, and adding a splash of color to your stemware. You should add as much or as little paint to your glasses as you want. To paint the glasses you should start by cleaning them to avoid worrying of dust getting caught between the paint and surface.
After this you should lay down your guide using a stencil or pattern and then draw directly on the glass. After this you should bake the paint so that the pigment that you create fuses properly with the wine glass. You should then let the paint dry overnight and then place the glasses in the oven for about half an hour.
Ribbons
Wine glass ribbon decorations are great as ribbons are not only cheap, they are also easy to find.
You should start by selecting the ones that go with the theme of the party. For example, if you are throwing a Christmas party, you should use gold, green, silver, red or white ribbons. You should then cut the ribbons into 10-inch lengths and pair them. For a great look you should use two different colors together.
You should then tie the paired ribbons around the stem of the wine glass and make a bow. You should be cautious that you don’t make a large bow as it will be floppy.
Beads
Just like ribbons, beads are cheap and easily available. You should place them in a string and then tie the string around the stem of the wine glass.
Names
Although it’s not a decorative technique, writing the names of the guests on the wine glass will most definitely make them feel valued. You should use good looking paint to write the name of the guest on the outside of the wine glass.
Conclusion
These are just a number of tips on how to decorate a wine glass. In addition to decorating the glass in order to wow your guests, you can also use it as a party table decoration. One of the most effective ways of doing it is using a narrow glass such as Burgundy or Bordeaux as a vase to hold flowers.
