Many traditions and beliefs are associated with wedding glasses of the young: they are connected with one ribbon, emphasizing the strength of the union, broken for happiness or kept, filled with champagne for the wedding anniversary. Be that as it may, decorating the table of the newlyweds, they will not go unnoticed, which means that they should be unique and in harmony with the style of the wedding.
To decorate glasses, you can use flowers, beads, ribbons, lace and rhinestones. A glue gun, silicone glue, PVA or special glue for ceramics and crystal will help to securely fix the elements. Work with thin crystal is best done with cyanoacrylate-based glue. After drying, it becomes completely transparent and invisible.
For stained glass painting you will need:
- glasses on high legs;
- stained glass paints;
- contour stickers;
- silk ribbon;
- round synthetic brush # 2;
- napkin;
- hairdryer.
Before proceeding with the direct decoration, prepare the surface. To do this, degrease it with nail polish remover or wash it thoroughly with dish detergent.
Separate the backing from the contour stickers, stick the image of roses on the side of the glass, and the rings on its base. Using a brush, apply stained glass paints, carefully filling the interior of the decals. Carry out further actions only after the paint has completely dried. The process can be accelerated by exposure to warm air, for example, from a hair dryer.
Wrap the legs of the glasses with silk tape and tie them nicely or secure with a drop of glue.
If you decide to use fresh flowers in your decor, remember that by the end of the evening they will lose their attractiveness, not to mention that their long-term storage is impossible.
The simplest, but no less elegant, is lace decoration. In the store you can buy lace decorated with rhinestones and sequins. Wrap the tape around the glass, cut the required length with a margin of a few millimeters. When gluing, it is important that the decor is firmly wrapped around the surface of the glass.
Sweep a small piece of lace tape along one edge. Pull the basting thread to form a skirt. After securing the thread, glue the gathered lace to the top of the leg.
You can diversify the lace decor with a ribbon bow attached at the top of the leg. Wrap a thin satin ribbon around the leg in a spiral, at the top attach a bow with rhinestones or a rose of ribbons.
Glasses decorated with artificial flower petals turn out to be unusual and delicate. To implement the creative idea, you will need Moment glue, contours for ceramics and glass, two artificial roses.
Place the glass on a sheet of paper and circle the base of the leg, then divide the circle into 8 sectors, the resulting lines will become a template. On the surface of the leg, focusing on the lines, mark small dots with a silver outline.
Despite the fact that "Moment" provides a fairly strong grip, press the petals to the glass for a while.
While the dots are drying, disassemble the artificial flowers into individual petals. At the base of each row of petals, make a cut equal to the width of the base of the stem of the glass. Turn the glass upside down. Glue the petals and place them on the glass. The decoration is completed by gluing the bottom leaves. If individual petals are too bumpy, secure with a small drop of glue.
