Rhinestone decoration
Shimmering pebbles on transparent glass with sparkling champagne in a glass look elegant in the hands of any couple. To decorate a wedding wine glass with rhinestones, you will need sparkles different sizes. If you want classics, choose rhinestones of the same color (you can put an inscription or pattern with them). If you want a design, a figurine, or just a shiny painting, buy multi-colored stones. To secure the glitter, apply glue to the glass and lay out the desired design on the treated area. It is better to glue rhinestones from top to bottom, adjusting the shape until the glue dries.

Fine lace and fabrics
Openwork lace will give your glasses airy lightness and tenderness. Using glue, secure the lace element along the contour of the glass, or make a skirt out of fabric on the stem of the wine glass. Add beads, rhinestones, or brooches. The main thing is that the products are not overloaded with details and look light and elegant in the hands of young people.
We use tapes
Decorating glasses with ribbons is considered the simplest decoration technique. For work, take satin, lace or nylon ribbons of several colors. The type of tape depends on your idea. Most often, a neat bow is made from ribbon and attached to the leg with glue, complementing the decoration with beads and figures (hearts, doves). If you want to take a more subtle approach to the decor, make small roses and leaves from satin ribbon. Ribbons look good with sparkles and stained glass paintings on glass. The stem of the glass can be completely wrapped with tape.
The photo shows examples of how you can decorate a glass in an original way with ribbons.
Working with ribbons and lace - video master class:
Decorate with beads
Using beads, you can weave flowers and patterns, attach them to lace or transparent fabric and glue them to a glass. Spread the stem and base of the glasses with transparent glue and sprinkle with beads and stones. Beads are easily glued to glass; to inlay a glass, use beads of different sizes, diluting it with beads, stones, stucco molding and ribbons.
Fresh and artificial flowers
If you want to decorate glasses for one evening, use fresh flowers, plants and herbs in the decor. It will work out great if your entire wedding is decorated using flower arrangements. Delicate freesias, roses, alstroemeria, gypsophila, orchids, etc. look great on the stem of a glass. Fresh flowers are well complemented by ribbons, beads, fluff, ropes, fabrics and threads (in rustic style).

If you want elegant wedding glasses to decorate your anniversaries, use artificial flowers as a basis. It must be taken into account that over time they also lose their beauty and quickly become covered with dust. To decorate a glass, disassemble the artificial flower into petals and glue them layer by layer to the outer bottom of the tank. Each new row of petals should be glued slightly lower than the previous one. The glass looks gorgeous when its stem becomes a full-fledged flower.
Modeling with mastic or clay
Small flowers made of polymer clay or mastic look very delicate and neat on wine glasses. To decorate two glasses you will need one stick of clay, you will also need outlines, dry pastel, alcohol or acetone, a safety pin, a stationery knife and superglue. Working with fresh clay is quite dirty, so prepare gloves in advance. You can paint the clay any color. The finished flowers and petals need to be dried in the oven for 15 minutes, and then attached to the glass using gel superglue. You can make similar flowers for a wedding hairstyle, a groom’s boutonniere, or decorate wedding champagne and bonbonnieres for guests with them.

Wine glasses decorated with small peas 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 will need: acrylic or contour paints for glass and ceramics; regular nail polish is also suitable (but acrylic paints are much more durable) or a special marker for painting dishes. To degrease the wine 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 to correct the drawing - cotton pads and swabs.
Painting technique:
- Wash and degrease the glass thoroughly with alcohol or another product using cotton pads or napkins.
- Now you can start drawing circles. Squeeze a little paint into a small container or just onto foil (paper, file).
Turn the glass over and start placing dots from top to bottom, maintaining the same interval between them. You can draw points 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), and also slightly overlap each other.
Advice:
- It is convenient to place 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 drawing, especially if the paint is toxic.
- If you draw with contours, then first you need to practice placing small, medium and large dots on paper at the same distance from each other and with the same degree of pressure on the tube.
- Now you need to let the paint dry. Drying methods largely depend on the paint; usually the manufacturer specifies drying time and firing instructions.
- As a rule, painting with acrylic paints or contours 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;
- The markers dry for 24 hours and do not need to be fired;
- Nail polish dries quickly, but the design will not last long, so this option is not suitable for decorating gift or wedding glasses that you want to keep as a keepsake. But to carry out themed parties You won't find better paint.
Here are other ideas for painting glasses with multi-colored polka dots that will decorate any fun party (scroll the photo to the right).

If you wish, you can complement the drawing with contour and stained glass paints, markers and glitter.
Drawing technique:
- Degrease the surface;
- 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;
- Now we need to draw the stamens: we put dots with a narrow small brush or a cotton swab with a pointed end. Pollen color can be black, yellow or orange. In our master class, we use yellow to paint the stamens of the lilac Italian aster and black for the sunflowers.
Next, drawing the flower will be layered, so you need to wait until the drawn stamens dry. You can dry them naturally, leaving for 2 hours, or bake in the oven at a temperature of 150-170 degrees for 15 minutes.
- Once the drawn pollen has dried, you need to draw the petals as shown in the photo below. If desired, draw details - veins and color nuances. Then you need to let the paint dry (see step 3).
- The last step is to draw the peduncle and stem green and again we bake our glass flower, but now for 30 minutes - and then the paint will not “peel off” from the glass for a very long time.

- It is easier to do glass painting using a background sketch, drawn with your own hands or printed in the required size on a printer. You can also use a drawing on a napkin. The paper with the image must be placed on the bottom of the wine glass, aligned and glued with tape as shown in the photo.
Stencils will also help you paint on glass with your own hands. To do this you need:

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 stores or online stores. An example of such decor is in the photo below.
Master class No. 3: Stained glass painting
Stained glass painting on glass is a slightly more complex painting technique, since stained glass paints, unlike acrylic paints, are much more fluid and therefore difficult to apply. In addition, they are less wear-resistant, and mixing colors will be very difficult, since the paints dry very quickly on the palette. But they are more transparent and unusual, and in combination with stained glass contours you can create the effect of real stained glass.
