I came across these confetti glasses from Anthroplogie, and I knew I wanted to make my own wine glasses inspired by this design. It was fun and easy, so I wanted to share it with you. Trust me, if I say a craft or DIY project of any kind is easy it really is a piece of cake. I’m not the craftiest person out there. All you need is your wine glasses, acrylic paint in the colors of your choice, and a few paint brushes. You could probably get away with using one brush and dabbing it around to make different sizes. I just found it easier to get the dots as solid as I wanted with different brush sizes.

I started by using my darkest color to make the biggest dots randomly over the bottom half of the glass. After that I moved on through the colors I chose from darkest to lightest. Making to dots in varying size. Some crossed over other existing dots and some are right next to each other. In a few spots I left a little space.

After you are satisfied with how the glass looks I put it in the oven at 245° for 45 minutes to set the paint. Supposedly, this is supposed to make it dishwasher safe too, but I will still wash these by hand.

I bought the glasses at the dollar store and already had the paint brushes and paint, so this was a cheap project too.
