Apply glitter only to the base of the wine glass, leaving the rest of the glass blank. The glitter can also extend ½ to 1 inches (1. 27 to 2. 54 centimeters) up the stem of the glass. Apply glitter only to the stems of the wine glass, leaving the rest of the glass blank. Create an initial or number using glitter. Create stripes on the entire glass (or just the stem) using glitter. Apply glitter to the entire glass, except for the top ½ to 1 inches (1. 27 to 2. 54 centimeters of the rim. Create designs using two different colors of glitter. Create ombré designs by having two colors blend into one another.
After you have cleaned your glasses, set them aside for a few minutes and let the alcohol dry.
To apply glitter to the base of the wine glass, tape off the stem of the glass and leave the base exposed. You may also leave ½ to 1 inches (1. 27 to 2. 54 centimeters) of the stem exposed as well; the glitter will then extend onto part of the stem. To apply glitter to the stems of the wine glass, cover the base of the glass with tape. Then, cover the bottom portion of the bowl part with tape as well. To create an initial or number using glitter, you may use an glue stencil or apply the glue directly to the glass free-hand. To create stripes on the wine glass, simply wrap a long piece of tape around your glass in a spiral, creating a candy-cane effect. There should be spaces between the edges of the tape. To use two or more colors, tape off the areas your do not want covered in glitter and apply the glue to the area of the first color. One you have applied the glitter and let the glue dry, you will apply the glue and glitter for the next color. To create an ombré effect, simply tape off the bottom and top part of your design and work in the area between the pieces of tape.
You can also use a foam brush if you are worried about leaving streaks on the glass. A foam paintbrush may apply paint more evenly than a bristled paintbrush.
Keep pouring glitter over the glass until all of the glue-coated areas are covered in an even layer of glitter. When you are finished, you can return the excess glitter to the bottle. Pick up the cardboard and bend it slightly to create a funnel and then pour the glitter into the glitter bottle. If you want to do multiple colors of glitter, then you will need to let the first layer dry and then apply more glue to the glass. Then, pour your second glitter color as you did with the first layer.
Remember that if you will be applying more layers of glitter, you can do that after the first layer has dried.
If you plan to use a sealing spray, then you will need to go outside to seal your glass. Place the glass on a piece of newspaper on the ground outside and then spray the Krylon Crystal Clear onto the glittery areas of your glass. Then, allow the glass to dry for at least an hour.
Do not scrub the wine glasses. Instead, use a soft sponge and try to avoid the glittered areas. Do not put the wine glasses into the dishwasher.
