Fearless Friday, Tulip Tumblers & Spring Gift Idea
Today’s post incorporates 5 stroke tulips with a Spring gift idea
Earlier this year we painted Fast and Loose watercolor tulips
Today’s acrylic tulips are painted in much the same way
One stroke for the stem, one stroke for a leaf on each side of the stem
Then 2-3 strokes for the tulip
If you load the brush with several colors
you will get an automatic blended effect
Practice on paper until you’re comfortable
and achieve the color result you want
I found these insulated wine tumblers at the grocery store! {Publix}
I decided they would make a perfect addition
to the Easter gift bags I was making for DD and CCOG
Since tulips were sort of the theme of our gathering,
I painted a single stem on each tumbler
The advantage of painting on a shiny surface like glass or metal
is that you can wipe it off with a damp cloth
before it dries if you don’t like it
The white tulip is painted with white and just a touch of green
The pink tulip was painted pink with a touch of orange and white
The yellow tulip was painted with yellow and orange
I found pretty gift bags in Easter colors and floral soaps and lotions at Hobby Lobby
I tucked the tumblers with the soap and lotion inside the bags
{I kept the pink one for myself}
And when the ladies arrived, and opened their gifts,
they were ready to have a mimosa in their tulip tumbler
Juicy Details:
You can shop for insulated wine tumblers on Amazon here
Note:
I did use acrylic paint for glass on the tumblers but did not cure them in the oven because I had no idea what heat would do to them. I did let the paint dry for 48 hours before use.
These painted tumblers are not dishwasher safe, and do not soak them. To wash give the inside and rim a quick rinse with hot soapy water let dry upside down on a towel
Try something new and Be Fearless!

The tumblers with painted tulips look so adorable! The deep blue one with white tulip is my favourite. Well done, Jenna!
Thank you Angie 🙂
The wine tumblers are a wonderful idea and they look terrific. I always love your tulip paintings. They have such energy!
Thank you Jeanie, I do love tulips!
So much pretty Jenna! 🙂
Thank you Martha!
Hey, I have a couple of tumblers like those that I wish had a Jenna creation. Lucky ladies who received them.
Thank you Linda!
Jenna, the tulips on the wine tumblers are so cute. These are great gift ideas and you sure made it sound simple to paint! Who knows, I might give it a try!
Thank you Pam, the secret to success is to use quick, loose strokes. The tumblers are great to keep beverages cool outside during warmer temps…
These are fantastic! You make it look simple enough for even moi to give it a whirl. They fit perfectly with all the flowers in bloom right now. Georgia Gal
Those tumblers are special, what a great gift! You always come with such great gift ideas! 😁
Thank you Cyndi! Have a great weekend!
Thanks Georgia Gal!
I love these! What a thoughtful gift for spring. I love how loosely they’re painted, and the colors are so pretty!
Thank you Ricki Jill, these tumblers are great for using on the patio or deck!
These are such a great idea. Our daughter has 4 plain tumblers which I think she would love a design on them, didn’t know you could do this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Terrie, just make sure she washes them carefully, as I mentioned in the post they are not heat cured, so you shouldn’t soak them or put them in the dishwasher.
Such a pretty and fun gift Jenna that I’m sure anyone would love. ♥
It was fun giving them a gift they could use right away!
Those are beautiful!
Thank you!
