Wine Glasses

lucylema

Morning!:wave:

I have about half a dozen wine glasses (pub style). I don't use them, need them etc but I was wondering if I could do something creative with them to take to the church christmas fair at the end of the year.

Any ideas?

Glass paint designs on them (hobbycraft stock loads of paints)

Get one of those DIY candle kits and make the glass the candle. Or cheaper, paint them and make them tea light holders

What about painting them with acrylic paint (think the Lolita glass style, or you can google images for ideas) there's lots of videos on YouTube on how-to, or I suppose you could decoupage the outside (again really easy to do using paper napkins!)

When the glass is finished you could put a little tissue paper in the bottom and add a couple of chocs in then wrap with cellophane, or put in a homemade box - even putting a wee verse on a tag if you like.

I'm doing this for my brother and his partner for Xmas with a nice bottle of wine.

I would save time and money and not paint them but fill with sweets or chocolates and wrap in cellophane and ribbon. It still looks effective!
My mum saves unusual shaped jars for her school fair and fills them with sweets from the cash and carry jelly tot type things and the children chose a jar for 50p or £1.
Our church do a similar thing but wrap the jar so its like a lucky dip Although somebody did fill some of them with oxo cubes.
I thought it was great although my boys weren't impressed.
They then collected the jars and the organisers wrapped them and sorted into groups boys/ grils and adults and people would put in hand bands or other trinkets like key rings - one was filled with a £5 note!
