Hello!
It’s time for the monthly Creative Crafts blog Hop
A big thank you to our hostess Sara from Birdz of a Feather
Whether you are coming from Sara’s or
you are a friend or reader,
Welcome, we are so happy you are here!
My daughter’s birthday was last week
and one of her gifts was winter wine glasses
She and I both like to sip our wine
from stemless insulated wine tumblers
My daughter has a beautiful home
that is decorated with white, gray and gold
She is sort of the opposite of me,
I love color and pattern and
she prefers white and gray, sleek and modern
I wanted to paint the stemless wine tumblers
with a design that would match her taste and her decor
I decided on gold and white evergreen trees
She can use them for the holidays and also all winter long
Just a few simple strokes and dots~
I used gloss enamel acrylic craft paint
After it dries and cures for several days it becomes waterproof
I use a sheet of paper or foil to determine the design
and to practice my strokes before I start painting
2 strokes of gold
Then 2 more
And 2 more
2 more strokes and you have a tree
Then I repeated the strokes with white on top of the gold
To finish,
I added short fat gold strokes on top of the white
and gold dots around the rest of the glass
To paint dots,
use the tip end of a paint brush and dip it into paint
and then add a dot where you want it
I got the stemless wine tumblers on Amazon here
