    DIY Painted Glasses

    Short glasses with painted gold dots.

    Dress up inexpensive ordinary table and barware with this easy DIY painted glasses project. An easy way to add a little color and charm to your tablescape.

    Hand painted glassware. Short gold dot painted glasses in front of tall pink and gold dot glasses.

    I've always loved the way some people can create painted wine glasses. However, my freehand is not the best so I thought I'd try making some retro-looking glasses with easy to create painted dots.

    I was inspired by vintage Libbey glasses from the 70's and more recently these Kate Spade glasses.

    Short and tall clear glasses. Gold and pink jars of glass paint and 3 different sizes of round sponge brushes.

    Supplies

    • Clear glasses
    • Gold glass paint
    • Pink glass paint
    • Round sponge brushes
    Clear glass with a piece of white paper inside and a gold painted dot on the outside.

    Painting Glassware

    1. First, make sure your glasses are clean and dry.
    2. Place a piece of white paper inside so that you can easily see the area that you are working on.
    3. This paint is thin almost transparent and tends to bubble so you will want to dab it on a couple of times or add a couple of coats.

    4. Use different size brushes and whatever design you prefer to make a unique look. I started at the top and then spaced my dots evenly about vertically. Then offset the next row to fill the glass with dots all around.

    5. To make the paint permanent place the glasses on a piece of parchment paper on a cookie sheet and bake them according to the manufacturer's directions.

    I think this hand-painted glassware, especially the short ones with gold dots, would be a great addition to your barware. They have a nice swanky look and would be perfect as a cocktail glass for all your whiskey and rocks drinkers.

    The taller glasses will be used as water glasses and are a new addition to our Easter table. I love the way the pink and gold looks with all the other natural spring decor.

    This simple glass painting idea can be done with any color you like in an easy dot pattern. The sponge brushes make it so easy and I think they would make a great gift too.

      I absolutely love this DIY! Are they dishwasher safe after the oven cure?

        Sara, I haven't tried it yet but according to the paint manufacturer, you can put them in the dishwasher.
