DIY Glass Accents


Thanks to Pinterest, I found this cool & fool proof, project! I like to be creative and crafty, but sometimes my crafts don't turn out so well and I give up...but this was super easy and fun to do! Oh, and it's CHEAP! Such great Christmas presents if you're in a scramble, and created from your own imagination and heart! So perfect! :) And they're practical and cute!
First, you need to get your choice of glass wear..I got these different shaped glasses at the dollar store!
Buy assorted rubber bands - also at the dollar store.
Then, you take your glasswear and you make whatever pattern you want from your rubber bands. You can do so many creative looks...and even add in lace or sticker letters for writing, whatever you can think of!! These were my first run so I just stuck to simply rubber bands.
You need this spray paint - Glass Frosting - it's the most expensive part, but $6.99 at Hobby Lobby, not too bad. Plus a 20% off coupon...so it's like $5.00.
Then you spray paint your glasswear...up and down, up and down.
Then you let them all dry...Oh and I found those tall ones at the .99 cent store...I thought the pink glass would be awesome to do!

And the top photos of the post are the finished projects. I put flowers in the tall vases and then tea light candles in the round glasses! :) The photo quality is bad, they look much cuter in real life! :)

Happy Do-It-Your-Self-Ing!!
