Roses are red; so is my wine. Refill my glass, and I'll be just fine.

Want to make a beautiful, personalized wine glass for yourself of a loved one?! Here's how!

Materials: 

-Folkart glassware paint (has wine glass pic on the bottle)

-wine glass (found one at Walmart for $0.98!

-thin paint brush

-print-outs of names, pictures, etc.

-Tape

-Scissors

Total cost for this fabulously frugal gift idea : $4.71!!

1) Print out pictures of something thy you want on the wine glass as your guide. I used two palm trees then printed out my best friend's name out in cursive from a Word document. 

2) Wash your wine glass with warm soap and water, then let the glass air dry for at least 15 minutes. 

3) Using scissors and tape, cut out the printed pictures for your glass and line up to make sure they are straight. *Be sure to tape the print out directly against the glass for the best results.*

4) Using a very thin brush, trace the lines of the designs you have, making sure you have a napkin available in case you slip up!

5) Once the glass is completely painted, you can either wait 21 days for it dry  (OUTRAGEOUS -I KNOW!) or place the glass upside down on a cookie sheet and put in the oven. Then set the oven to 350 degrees while the glass is already in there for 30 minutes. The glass must gradually be heated or else it will break. 

6) Leave glass in the oven until the oven is completely cooled. 

7) Add a couple bottles of wine to a little basket and you have for yourself a nice gift!!!
