*I told my husband, “See, I can fit all my craft supplies into one box.” He said, “Stop calling our house a box. These are totally awesome gifts for the wine drinker in your life! What’s your peek-a-boo image? You would not need to seal it if it is permanent vinyl. You could leave it just the way it is or add a word or saying to the top part.
PEEK A BOO WINE GLASS MOD
I have seen people use the dishwasher safe Mod Podge but from my experience it is still not totally dishwasher safe. Be sure to let the whole glass dry before using or gifting. I have a spray sealant but I’m sure you could use a liquid one as well. If you are happy with the two coats then all you have left is the sealant. Then sprinkle your glitter again the same way that was done before.īang the excess off again and set upside down to let dry. I don’t go all the way up until that line. Be super careful near the line of the glitter. Paint the Mod Podge right over the dried glitter. You can usually tell it’s dry when you can not see the Mod Podge any more. I usually let it sit and go do something else and then come back but I’d say at least and hour or two.
I don’t know exactly how long it has to dry for. I do plan on doing one or two more coats but if you let the tape sit there and the Mod Podge dries it can be hard to take the tape off and still have a clean crisp line. I use my other hand to bang off the excess glitter. I shake it slightly as I go so I know how much I have put on or if I missed a spot. I start from the bottom and work my way up. I stick my hand in the inside of the cup and hold it that way. Then sprinkle your glitter on! I do this over a clean plate so that I can put the glitter that falls and doesn’t stick back in the container to use again. Be sure to use enough that you are covering well but not too much that it is gloopy (is that a word?) Start painting a layer of Mod Podge on the entire bottom of the glass under your tape line and right over the top of your vinyl images.
Now comes the fun (messy) part! GLITTER! Be sure your glass is dry by just patting some paper towel. Be careful because the hair tie can move around on you if it is too loose. Then I empty the water out and use painters tape to tape off that line. This helps keep that line perfectly level. I then use a hair tie and place it around the glass exactly over the top of the water line. To do this I fill the glass with water up until the point of where I want that line to be. If It is an image with multiple parts I use transfer tape to place it on the wine glass.Īfter the images are placed I create the line for the glitter.
PEEK A BOO WINE GLASS FULL
If it is a full image I just use my tweezers to take off the backing and place where I want them to be. Next, I start placing the peek-a-boo images. After it is cut out I weed the excess vinyl away. It tends to cute just a little bit better (or maybe I just need a new blade). I like selecting more pressure when working with vinyl. Then I cut the images out of permanent vinyl with my Cricut. You could also make them bigger and do less of them. I usually do anywhere between 15-20, it really depends on how you want it to look.

I first start with the image I want to ‘peek-a-boo’. They make great gifts as you can really make them with any image and color you want! They are just so fun and pretty simple to make. My oldest glass with glitter on it is five years old (I made it for the tutorial for how to apply glitter to a mason jar) and it is my kids' FAVORITE glass so it gets a lot of use.Īfter five years all the glitter is still firmly in place because we followed the curing timeline.I absolutely love making these.
SO do yourself a favor and put them away and don't touch them for a month. This is the number one reason why people email me and tell me their glasses did not turn out: because they did NOT let them sit for 30 full days to cure. If you cheat and use your glasses before the 30 days is over, you need to RESTART the 30 days to let the entire curing process happen or you will have disastrous results. I know that 30 days feels like forever, but do not try to cut this short. If you want your beautiful new glitter wine glasses to be dishwasher safe that you let them sit and cure for 30 days.
This part is really, REALLY, really important for your glitter glasses turning out right:
