Customizing your own glassware is the perfect project for a girls night in, a heartfelt handmade gift, or even just a relaxing afternoon. And the best part about wine glass painting? You get to personalize every little detail (from the flower colours to the stem designs) to match your style, your mood, or the occasion!
Helpful Tips:
What types of paintbrushes do I need for hand painting wine glasses?
The types of paintbrushes you’ll need for your painted wine glass depend on your design. If you’re making a fine or intricate design, like ours, you’ll get the best results with a fine liner brush or detail brush set. This allows you to create clean petal shapes and thin lines for the stems and leaves.
What kind of paint works best for painting wine glasses?
The best type of paint to use on wine glasses is acrylic paint that’s made for glass, like multi-surface acrylics or enamel glass paint. We recommend FolkArt Multi-Surface Satin Finish Paint. Whatever paint you use, be sure to follow the curing instructions on the label.
Can I use stemless glasses for these DIY painted wine glasses?
Absolutely! Stemless wine glasses work just as well for decorating wine glasses, and they offer a bigger painting surface. Just be careful how you hold the glass, so you don’t smudge the paint. And make sure that you’re still painting away from the rim, about 1 to 1-1/2 inches from the top. This paint isn’t food safe, so don’t paint inside the glass or anywhere the paint might have contact with your drink or mouth. Cheers to crafting something beautiful—now go pour yourself a celebratory glass of wine! Wine glass painting is such a fun way to get creative and customize your glassware. Whether you’re crafting solo, planning a girls night activity, or prepping for a party, this simple project brings a big wow-factor with very little effort.
