Personal Xmas Glasses

Glass Painting
We Got Some Cheap Glasses From Tesco Last Year ( Value Pk Of 4.. 99p)
We Painted Christmas Scenes On Them And Put Peoples Names On That Were Comming For Dinner, We Used Acrylic Paints.. It Was Easy And They Looked Great, Plus The People Could Take Them Home.

  • Amie..thats a lovely idea for place settings.

    Think i'll borrow that idea for the adults just paint their name in gold with a few gold stars. For the kiddies I think I'm going to do a snowscene with snow at the bottom, a snowman and snowballs making up their name.

    Thanks. :)
