via Blogger Last Call For Up To 40% OFF Our Christmas Sale 2017! The following contribution Create Your Own Hand Painted Christmas Wine Glasses is from www.cheekyvino.co.uk The festive season is here again already, and you're probably starting to think of ideas for gifts and for how to make your home look more festive! One fantastic way to start feeling 'Christmassy' is to start working on creating an impressive Christmas dinner table! One great way to do this is to make your very own set of hand painted Christmas wine glasses. This may sound complicated (and messy!) but it doesn't have to be! You can paint absolutely any design you like, and it could either be something quite challenging or something really simple. So...where to start? The first thing to do is to find some wine glasses, preferably cheap ones as you may want to buy a couple of spares in case you need to practice first! You can also buy coloured glasses, so if you wanted you could paint your design on a red or green background, giving it extra colour. You will also need to buy some special glass-painting paints, which you can find online or in most craft stores such as Hobbycraft. You'll also need a couple of different sized paint brushes, a larger one for larger areas of colour, and a small one for painting the finer details. And finally...you'll need to decide what to paint. (Thinking of ideas can often be the hardest part!) Things like Christmas trees, snowmen, Santa hats, presents and stockings are all lovely festive items and can be painted in nice bright colours. Make sure you give your glasses a clean before you start painting, as any dirt on there could stop the paint from sticking. Always follow the instructions on the paint packaging as drying times, curing instructions etc can differ between manufacturers. If you don't fancy painting, then another option is to decorate your glasses with little coloured diamantes, pearls, holly embellishments, etc. These will look extremely pretty, although you will need to take extra care when washing them so that the decorations to not come off. If you would prefer to create some glasses that can be used all year round rather than just during the festive season, then you could still add a festive touch to them by tying a Christmassy ribbon in a bow around the stem, or adding some Christmas wine charms. You could make every ribbon or charm different, so that your guests remember which is their glass! So why not have a go at creating your very own set of hand painted Christmas wine glasses, then sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of vino! via Blogger Create Your Own Hand Painted Christmas Wine Glasses The information 3 Inspiring Ideas To Get Your Creative Glass Painting Juices Flowing is from https://www.cheekyvino.co.uk/ Being faced with a blank canvas can be very daunting.

Gifts for the happy couple can often be a bit predictable, and the newlyweds seem to end up with several cutlery sets, a few picture frames, 10 bottles of champagne, etc! So why not think outside the box and surprise the happy couple with something completely unexpected! Here are a few unique gift ideas that will make yours stand out from the crowd! Before you pursue things further, you should consider a few factors. Firstly, when it comes to being personal, it's best you know the likes and dislikes of the couple so as to avoid the possibility of going to such great efforts, only for them to be disappointed in your purchase. If you're unsure about a certain idea, then you can do your own background research by checking the wedding gift list to see the sorts of gift ideas they've listed. This should help you develop a better understanding of their tastes. A Memory BoxA memory box makes a beautiful and sentimental present for a special couple to fill with memories of their big day, such as champagne corks, table names, cards, invites and photos. You could have the box personalised with the bride and grooms' names and the wedding date, even have a secret message written inside. Find out more about this beautiful wedding box here. A CushionWhen it comes to choosing a wedding gift, you can’t go wrong with a home accessory such as a beautiful personalised cushion, especially if the newlyweds have just bought a house together. Imagine how pleased they would be to see a happy reminder on their couch every day they get back from a hard day's work. Personalised Champagne FlutesWhy not treat the bride & groom to a pair of personalised champagne flutes or wine glasses, hand painted to match the colour of their outfits and with names and wedding date on the bases! They make the perfect keepsake and can be brought out on anniversaries for years to come! These glasses are lovingly painted by hand with high attention to detail. Careful consideration is given to the overall aesthetic which helps to balance out form and function while oozing quality at the same time.

A VaseThe bride and groom will no doubt have several bouquets of flowers to take home after the big day!

Imagine them walking into the sunset, hand in hand while every footstep reminds them of the amazing future that awaits them. What better personalised wedding gifts for the bride and groom to enjoy on their honeymoon! via Blogger 5 Personalised Bride And Groom Gifts For A Perfect Wedding The following post A Step By Step Guide On How To Paint Your Very Own Wine Glass With Personalisation was originally found on Cheekyvino Designs If you're looking for a step by step guide that shows you how to make your own personalised wine glass, then you're in the right place! Creating your own inspired designs is so much fun and surprisingly easy to do! What's more, they can make a fantastic personalised gift idea! Be sure to also check out these hand painted wine glasses from Cheekyvino Designs (with personalisation) which are for sale. What you will need:
Step by Step GuidePrepare:First you need to wash your wine glass and let it dry. Even better, wipe down the outside of the wine glass with rubbing alcohol which helps to remove dirt and any oils, although I usually find that washing with warm, soapy water is enough. Wrap approximately 1 inch of masking tape around the top of your glass, so that you leave room to drink from it. Design:Often the hardest part is to decide what your design should be! It could either absolutely anything - an abstract design, some pretty flowers, butterflies, hearts, or you could simply personalise it with a name, quote or a special message. What I find really helpful is printing out (or drawing) the design on a small piece of paper and sticking it firmly to the inside of the glass. You can then use your picture as a guide and draw around it. Of course you can also paint the stem and base of the wine glass too if you want! Outline:Use your glass painting outliner to carefully draw your design. A useful tip: I find that cotton buds come in very handy (if not essential) at this point, so you can wipe off any mistakes and try again! Start Painting!It sounds obvious, but make sure you use the right type of brush for what you are painting as it can make a big difference. For example if you are painting something with fine detail, then a very small brush will work best. Or for a larger area a chunkier brush will be better. I usually try to start at the top of the glass and work my way down, as this helps to prevent smudging the paint. As with the outliner, if you make a mistake then simply use a cotton bud to wipe it off and start again. You can either paint with brush strokes, (you may need to use a few coats of paint to get the desired coverage) or for a more opaque result you can dab the paint on. You can layer the paints, so for example you may wish to paint a base layer, wait for it to dry, and then paint a pattern over the top of it. The drying time of each layer will depend on how thickly you have applied the paint. A thin layer may be ready to paint over after 10 minutes, whereas a very think layer of paint could take an hour or two. I find that dipping a cotton bud in the paint and then dabbing it on the glass works well for polka dots! For very tiny details, using a pin to paint with can work great! One of my favourite tools which I have used for pretty much every single glass I've painted is a little corn on the cob holder! Great for painting fine details and also for scratching off any mistakes which have dried. Cure:The next step is to cure the paint on your wine glass. There are two methods for doing this, you can either oven-cure it, or air cure. If you would like to oven-cure your glass, place it in a COLD oven, and then preheat up to 350 degrees. Once the oven reaches 350 degrees, bake for a further 30 minutes. Make sure you allow your glass to cool completely before removing from the oven. If you choose not to bake your glass in the oven, the paint should fully air cure within 21 days. Clean & Polish:After the paint has completely dried, you will be able to wash your glass gently in warm, soapy water. You can then dry and polish with a tea towel or kitchen towel. Add Finishing Touches:To add an extra special touch why not tie a pretty ribbon around the stem of your glass, or add a wine charm! Then sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of wine in your new hand painted wine glass! I hope this guide is useful, best of luck creating your very own personalised wine glasses!
