As many of you have probably picked up on, I like to use as much of my art/craft supplies as possible before venturing on a new project that requires a ton of supplies. Why? Because I am a grad student and I am cheap! Guilty. As. Charged.
Today I'm going to share with you my most recent project: painted margarita glasses. I know what you're thinking. Margarita glasses in November? Yes, a little unseasonal. However, I have a bunch of paint left from my confetti wine glasses and I'd like to have all of my glasses coordinating, thank you very much!
Here's what I did: First, I painted the bottom of the glass stem with the cream color.
While that was drying, I painted the bottom of the glass above the stem in turquoise. I didn't paint all of the way up the glass because I intended to make some confetti polka dots around the rim to keep up with the theme I started.
Once both the turquoise and cream portions were dry, I painted the stem in red.
Finally, I used the same process for making the polka dots above the turquoise painted portion as I used in my confetti wine glasses.
And then I looked on at my glasses that I can't wait to use next summer for frozen tropical fruit margaritas!

Happy crafting!
