Such a symbol of the union of two lovers can become glasses for the newlyweds, decorated with their future spouse. And let many give the decoration of the wedding glasses "at the mercy of" professionals, you will have an exclusive pair made by yourself. This is not found in any store!

Having taken on the decoration of glasses alone, you can calm down and dream in the making of a unique gizmo. At the same time, you will slightly reduce your wedding expenses. It seems that such a pair of glasses - a trifle! But, having saved here and there a little bit, you will be able to postpone the amount more significantly for a honeymoon.
So, how to decorate wedding glasses with your own hands? Will the girl who did not take a great interest in any kinds of handicrafts, and paint and tape last time in the junior classes of the school, manage with this? Of course, he will! Probably, it is necessary to begin with a trial lesson and decorate some old glass that has been standing at home for a long time. Or you can buy one or two inexpensive and try them to realize their ideas. After the novice needlewoman feels more confident, she can start decorating the holiday glasses.
What will it take to work? In addition to the glasses themselves( it is better to choose the simplest ones, from thin glass, on a long elegant leg), you will need:
- flowers( artificial or live - true, in the latter case your products will please the eye with beauty for a short time);
- satin ribbons in different colors, lengths and widths( except very wide ones);
- intricate light braid or lace;
- paint for glass painting;
- good adhesive;
- different beads and rhinestones( preferably flat - they will be convenient to glue).
Ways to decorate glasses
tapes Before you start decorating glasses, create yourself a comfortable workplace: empty the table, lay out all the required materials.
Try this method:
- Take the ribbon, wrap it around the glass( as tight as possible) and fix it with glue.
- On top of the first layer, overlay the second layer - for example, from the ribbon of the same color, but with a different shade.
- Then apply the third layer. It is desirable that all the tapes are of different widths.
- To make the composition look finished, attach a large elegant bow on one side - closer to the leg.
- Complete the bow with a sparkling droplet of a pair of small rhinestones.
Experienced craftsmen, who already master their master class, give the glass an even more solemnity and beauty, wrapping a thin satin ribbon with a leg. It looks very nice! And if the lower part of the leg is "dressed" in a skirt of ribbons, you will get even a slightly coquettish version.
You can try experimenting with lace. A semi-transparent canvas with intricate patterns already looks great in itself, and as a wedding decoration it will be irreplaceable: after all, it perfectly matches both the fragile glass and the air dress of the bride.
With ribbons and lace you can create real masterpieces, which will be admired by all guests of the holiday. Do not forget about the rhinestones.
Several small "shiny", on the contrary, are capable of giving refinement, making a stern product more elegant. Thanks to the crystals, the glasses will become expensive.
Those who can draw, lucky: they can fantasize about inventing wedding patterns, which are then painted neatly on the glass. It can be: monograms, the first letters of the names of the bride and groom, woven together, beautiful roses and even portraits of the newlyweds with a memorable inscription. You can use the stencils and bring out on the glasses two gold rings in contact with each other, or a pair of hearts. If it seems to you that your idea is not good enough, and you want something more interesting, look at the photos of the finished products - they are presented on the Internet in a large assortment.
The finished product should look neat, as if it were purchased in a store - but this resembles the store copies and ends.
During the creation of the masterpiece, put somewhere near the wet wipes, cloths.
