There are many ways to decorate wedding glasses.
Consider 22 design options for wedding glasses.
All of them are based on the fact that some kind of decoration is glued to the glass.

How to glue lace, ribbons, flowers, beads, rhinestones, flower petals to glass?

  • glue gun;
  • silicone glue;
  • PVA glue;
  • special instant cleats for crystal and ceramics;
  • waterproof instant clem - super glue.

    It is most convenient to use super glue based on cyanoacrylate(cyanoacrylate glue, cyacrine).
    This glue is colorless, transparent and liquid like water. If this glue is thick, then it starts to deteriorate.
    Cyanoacrylate glue is waterproof, but if the dishes glued with it are often washed with warm water, then after a year it will come off.
    Avoid getting the glue on your fingers - if the fingers stick together (the glue hardens very quickly and holds tight), you will have to cut it.
    After hardening, cyacrine remains transparent and colorless, but if you breathe on it, it will grab even faster from the exhaled moisture, but it will become cloudy white.

    The main thing in gluing is accuracy so that the glue does not protrude around the decoration.

    To master the technique, try decorating a regular glass first.

Decorating wedding glasses with flowers This is perhaps the most romantic way of decorating glasses. True, fresh flowers can decorate them only for one evening, and the excitement about their freshness and strength may not leave you ... but nevertheless it is very beautiful! It is more practical to buy delicate artificial flowers, fix them on the glass with glue and tapes. A dark crimson rose on the groom's glass and a fuchsia rose on the bride's glass look great. For a romantic bride and groom who value simplicity and naturalness, daisies or forget-me-nots decor is suitable. Wildflowers on a glass are also suitable for young newlyweds. Engraving If you want to decorate your glasses in this way, you will have to turn to specialists. But write the inscriptions on the glasses yourself: they can contain declarations of love, oaths of loyalty and affectionate words that you call each other. The glasses can also have family logos, paintings, portraits of young people. Complete this decor with a thin pale pink silk ribbon wrapped around the leg. Try to merge the engraving in the same image with the same ribbons or beads. By itself, it will be visible only to you and close guests. Painting on wedding glasses Decorating glasses with paints is a commendable idea. You will need acrylic paints as your main material. The surface of the glass must be degreased with alcohol or acetone. Print the drawing you like, transfer it to the glass. Next, the most important thing is to paint the glass.

But if the colors are different, then the material and width of the tape should be the same. Decorating glasses with mastic or polymer clay It is very easy to mold flowers and leaves of the required size from polymer clay. While the clay is still at the stage of modeling, “try on” flowers and leaves to the glass, control the process, correct the drawing. Once all the details are ready, they will have to be baked. If the leaves are smaller than the flowers in size, bake them separately. How long it takes to bake the clay, you will read from the instructions on the package. After baking, you need to align the bases of the flowers and leaves. A wide nail file is suitable for this. At the end of the work, the parts must be varnished. It remains only to fix the polymer clay elements on the glass. Complete the drawing with the same rhinestones and beads. You can paint on the stems with acrylic paint. Such work only seems painstaking, it will captivate you and, perhaps, you will find a new, interesting hobby.

Before embarking on a step-by-step DIY glass painting workshop, you need to decide on the future design of your wine glasses, so we invite you to get inspired and get original ideas for "glass" decor in the next chapter.

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

Master class # 1: Confetti-style glasses

Wine glasses decorated with small polka dots look very festive and can be either elegant, as in the photo below, or cheerful multi-colored. The circles are associated with champagne bubbles or bright confetti.

Difficulty level: very simple.

What you need: acrylic or contour paints for glass and ceramics, ordinary nail polish (but acrylic paints are much more durable) or a special marker for painting dishes are also suitable. To degrease glasses, prepare nail polish remover, degreaser or alcohol, for drawing - cotton swabs, a pencil with an eraser at the end or a small hard synthetic brush, and for correcting the pattern - cotton pads and swabs.

Painting technique:

  1. Thoroughly wash and degrease the glass with alcohol or another cleaner using cotton pads or a tissue.
  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 spacing between them. You can draw points as in this master class, that is, starting from large to smaller, gradually increasing the distance between them. Otherwise, the points can be of the same size, different in color, and they can also form a pattern or pattern (point to point or pique technique), and also slightly layered on top of each other.

Advice:

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


  • 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 points 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 the instructions for firing.
  • Typically, painting with acrylics or outlines requires firing if you want to use the glasses frequently and wash them in the dishwasher. To do this, you need to 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 for 24 hours and do not need firing;

  • Nail polish dries quickly, but the drawing will not last long, so this option will not work for decorating gift or wedding glasses that you want to keep as a keepsake. But for themed parties, there is no better paint.

And here are other ideas for painting glasses with multicolored polka dots that will decorate any at a fun party (scroll 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 vinyl self-adhesive paper of the desired color and cut circles out of it using a hole punch or special scissors, and then carefully glue them to 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 leg is so similar to a stalk, and a bowl - to a bud.

Difficulty level: middle.

What you need: any degreaser, cotton pads and cotton swabs for degreasing and correcting the pattern. And for painting, prepare artistic synthetic brushes of different sizes, a plastic plate or palette for mixing paints, as well as acrylic paints on glass and ceramics. If you wish, you can supplement the drawing with contour and stained glass paints, markers and glitter.

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


Next, the flower will be drawn in layers, 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 is dry, you need to draw the petals as shown in the photo below. If desired, add details - streaks and color nuances. Then you need to let the paint dry (see item 3).

  1. The last step is to draw a peduncle and a stalk in green and bake our glass flower again, but now it's already 30 minutes - and then the paint won't "peel off" from the glass 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 through).


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


The theme of flora and fauna is also very popular.


Glasses for a festive serving of themed parties can be decorated in a bright and funny way.

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


Other ways and secrets of painting on glass: how to dry a glass with a painted leg and use a stencil or sketch

  • If you want to completely paint over the base of the wine glass, that is, paint over its bottom from below, then you need to dry it hanging or carefully placing it on a homemade structure made of paper and four buttons as in the photo below.

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

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

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

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

  1. You can draw stripes, geometric abstractions and the simplest patterns on the principle of a stencil 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 frost or frost, which is sold in art or online stores. An example of such a decor is in the photo below.

When preparing for a wedding celebration, there are always a lot of worries, because you need to think over every detail, otherwise the holiday may be ruined. That is why many resort to the services of managers who take on the lion's share of all organizational issues. However, there are details that you can handle on your own, and the design of wedding glasses is one of those.

The tradition of breaking dishes "for luck" has gone deep into the past, and a new trend has come to replace it - to preserve your wedding glasses as the very first family value and a real heirloom. They have been with the spouses for many years and are even passed on to their children, and for each family anniversary they are taken out of a secluded place and placed on the festive table in order to once again remember the most tender, romantic and quivering moments of their day.

It is better to refuse all types of purchased paraphernalia right away, since the production put on stream can hardly offer something worthy for such a solemn event. Most newlyweds prefer exclusive jewelry that will fully match the theme and style of the wedding, as well as the personal tastes and characteristics of the newlyweds.

Regardless of who exactly will be engaged in decorating wedding glasses, the first step is to choose the appropriate option from the many existing decor ideas. Typically, one of the following designs is used:

  • satin ribbon trim;
  • lace or burlap;
  • cloth;
  • large and small sequins;
  • rhinestones or beads;
  • engraving;
  • painted with paints;
  • natural flowers, as well as sculpted from clay and cold porcelain.

Some newlyweds prefer to decorate only the stem of the glass, and the walls are engraved or monogrammed with paints. Some people create more voluminous decorations.

Anyone who decides to decorate their wedding glasses with shimmering sparkles, as well as rhinestones or beads will not fail, because this consumable always looks extremely festive and solemn. The pattern on such a glass is performed in any thematic ornament, only so that one side of the glass remains undecorated.

The simplest pattern is formed by one- or two-color material. In this case, various monograms, hearts, names of young people or simple curls are laid out with rhinestones. If you wish, you can apply more complex ornaments - for this they are printed on plain paper, applied from the inside and along the lines, and sparkles are placed.

If rhinestones scatter chaotically, then they should completely cover the glass from below, and only separate droplets are left to the edges.

Decorating with sparkles is much easier - you just need to dip a thin brush in glue, then in sparkles, and draw out the pattern or draw a drawing.

Products decorated with openwork lace look very delicate, and it is not difficult to make such a decor - you just need to paste over the outer part of the glass with a cloth. Usually they use golden or silver lace, but lurex in ivory and vanilla looks no less impressive. The shade of the fabric should match the overall color scheme of the wedding.

An elegant belt at the very base of the wine glass looks quite stylish; wine glasses with a lace "skirt" also look interesting. If desired, it is worth complementing the decoration with various embossed elements - flowers, as well as leaves and many other details.

Openwork materials are often combined with flowers and beads, but it is important not to overdo it - wedding glasses should become an elegant thing, not a fancy bad taste.

Ribbons can give a solemn look to absolutely any product, they perfectly complement openwork lace, painting and shiny rhinestones. Smooth ribbons of shiny fabric wrap around the legs, as well as the glasses themselves. Stylish roses are made of them and even whole bouquets are glued to glass, complementing them with beads and glitter.

Most often, plain ribbons are chosen for decorating glasses, but you can also use multi-colored materials - for example, black, dark gray, blue and blue colors are suitable for a newlywed, and white and pale pink shades are preferable for a young wife.

Artistic painting of glasses has become a very worthy idea, but it should be used only if the bowl remains clean, and only the stem of the glass is covered with paint. Then the sketch becomes the basic element of the decor. Usually, acrylic paints are used for drawing.

Glasses decorated with feathers look quite extravagant. Of course, this decoration is unlikely to be suitable for a classic wedding, but for themed events - just right. Feathers go well with a similar decor on a young wife's dress, and such glasses also look good if similar decorations are present in the bouquet. Feathers are usually combined with beads, sequins and flowers. By the way, it is this option that is most often used when organizing a Chicago-style wedding celebration, in this case, lush feathers are very well in harmony with the entire atmosphere and costumes of the invited guests.

Decorating with fresh flowers is one of the most romantic options for decorating wine glasses. Of course, such a composition cannot be called durable in any way, but it is truly the personification of tenderness, grace and romance. You can also use artificial flowers, but they, of course, cannot be compared with living stems, their lines and unique aroma.

The principle of decoration is quite simple - roses, daisies or other flowers are collected in a small boutonniere and fixed to the stem of the wine glass using special glue and satin ribbons.

If you know how to sculpt jewelry out of plastic, then creating a stylish decor from porcelain or polymer clay will not be difficult for you at all. On your own, it is quite possible to make various buds, delicate petals and small flowers. At the same time, until the clay has dried, the petals can be given the desired bend, smooth lines and even the shade can be adjusted.

In any of the considered types of decoration for wedding glasses, you can always find the possibility of transforming wine glasses or glasses into stylized newlyweds - the bride and groom. Such attributes look pretty catchy, and they are quite simple to make.

For example, if you want to get a "groom", you need to take a white and dark material, a couple of small beads and form a shirt from them (wrap a white fabric around a glass) with a tuxedo (here you just need to attach the lapels). And for the bride, cut out a fluffy openwork skirt, and make a corsage from a satin ribbon. The “young” outfit can be decorated with sparkles and rhinestones.

How to choose the right option?

When ordering the decoration of wedding glasses, young people sometimes “run up” from the abundance and luxurious and stylish options. To make the right choice, you should take into account a number of basic recommendations.

  • The design of wine glasses should be optimally fit into the overall theme of the wedding celebration. If you are hosting an event in a rustic style, then the wine glasses can be draped with burlap. If the decoration is carried out in the traditions of vintage and shabby chic style, then you should give preference to lace, ribbons or cameos.
  • It is very important that the color scheme of the glasses is in harmony with the main shades prevailing in the decor of the room where the celebration is held. Tint palettes must necessarily match; contrasting shades are strictly not allowed. For example, the orange decor of wine glasses is unlikely to fit into a silver or lilac wedding, and gold in dishes will look inappropriate with a silver shade of the room.

It is important that the glasses are in good harmony with each other both in style and color. They should be a single tandem, personifying the lovers and emphasizing the main theme of the event.

Let's talk a little about glasses. Their shape should be quite beautiful and comfortable, since young spouses will have to hold them in their hands for quite a long time.

Wine glasses with an elongated thin stem are traditionally used., although other options can be selected. For example, paired wine glasses on one common leg are quite popular - they, in fact, represent a rather attractive stand with a pair of indentations into which glasses are inserted. If you wish, you can give preference to glasses in the form of a hexagon, concave glasses and other original products.

Step-by-step instructions for registration

Now let's dwell on the technical features of the design of glasses in various styles. There are quite a few interesting decorating workshops out there, but we'll focus on the highlights.

To begin with, you should adhere to several important rules:
