Wedding Party Gifts - Glasses & Shot Glasses

Here are the gifts I made for the members of my wedding party. For the girls, I bought them all these very pretty glasses and decorated them based on their favorite colors. I luckily for me they all either liked pink or green, so I was able to easily find similar ribbon in the correct colors. Here's a list of the materials used to create the glasses for the girls:

• Glass Goblet
• Ribbon
• Acrylic Paint
• Fine tip paint brush
• Round Tip or round sponge paint brush
• Glue Gun & Glue
• Clear Spray Paint

I started off by gluing ribbon about an inch from the rim of the glass. Then I glued ribbon in a spiral down the stem of the glass. The next step for me was to personalize the glass by using the fine tipped paint brush to write name and their role in the wedding. (i.e. Casey - Bridesmaid) Using the round tipped paint brush I adding random dots, trying to create a polka dot pattern on the remaining area of the glass. I finished the glasses by added a coat or two of clear spray paint. This is the end result:

For the guys, I decorated shot glasses for them. Here's a list of the materials I used to make them:

• Shot Glasses
• Acrylic Paint
• Fine Tip paint brush
• Alphabet Stickers
• Clear Spray Paint

Using the fine tipped paint brush I drew the outline of a tux jacket, making sure to create a solid and thick line. After I allowed the outline to completely dry, I filled in the outline, just like you would on a coloring page. After this, I added the guy's initials to the back of the shot glass using the alphabet stickers.  I finished the glasses by added a coat or two of clear spray paint. These are the finished result:

All in all these were simple and fun to make and really affordable.
