   Crafters, please use gloss enamel paint to decorate the glasses. Feel free to pick whatever hues and patterns strike your fancy. Paint a beach scene on the glass, decorate with confetti or teeny polka dots, or just coat the base and stem for a sleek, contemporary look. In order to prevent any smearing or blending of colors, you should wait for each one to dry before adding a new one if you plan on using more than one. [2]

   • To keep track of who's drink is who's, simply use chalkboard paint on the base. Names can be written in chalk on empty wine glasses and then wiped away when the party is over.
   • Use metallic paints or glitter for a fun, festive feel.

   Wait three full days for the glasses to dry. If you have children or pets, put the decorated glasses in a secure location. The optimal temperature is that of the room's ambient air. [3]

   Cook the glasses by placing them on a baking sheet in a cold oven. Put the baking sheet containing the glasses on the lowest oven rack. You can avoid broken glasses by placing them in the oven before turning it on. [4]

   • If you don't want to use the oven, you can let the glasses dry naturally for 21 days somewhere warm. [5]

5. 5

   In a preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius), bake the glasses for 30 minutes. The paint is permanently set into the glass, and it will not come off with normal washing. When the oven reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit (177 degrees Celsius), the timer will start counting down the 30 minutes. [6]

   • Don't let 30 minutes slip by without remembering by setting a timer on the stove or oven or consulting your phone's clock.

6. 6

   Open the oven door after you've turned off the heat to cool the glasses inside. This method of slow cooling protects glass from shattering while the paint hardens. Only when the glasses are completely cool to the touch should you remove them from the oven. [7]

   • The glasses can be put in the dishwasher after they have been baked or dried. Don't forget to use the top shelf in the dishwasher when washing these.

   Glasses should be wiped down with rubbing alcohol and allowed to dry. The alcohol not only cleans the glasses but also makes it simpler for the marker to adhere to them. When finished, wipe the glasses clean with a paper towel and store them somewhere out of the way to dry. [8]

   • It is possible to substitute a cloth or paper towel for cotton balls.

Words, such as song lyrics or a favorite quote, can also be written with the marker.

   • The foundation and the stem are equally important. Paint them a solid color or decorate them to match the cup.
   • Mark the glasses with the names of party guests or holiday gift recipients.
   • If you're worried about messing up on the glass, try sketching your design first.

   On a baking sheet and in a cold oven, the glasses go. Placing the baking sheet on the oven rack before setting out the glasses is the most efficient method. If you carry the sheet to the oven with the glasses in your hands, you are more likely to break one of them.

   Stick the glass stencil down flat wherever you'd like it to go. Put it where it belongs, then press it onto the glass. Make sure the stencil is flat against the glass and free of wrinkles. The etching cream may spread into the spaces you leave, making your design appear sloppy. [13]

   • You can find glass stencils at any arts and crafts store or on the internet.
   • Create a stencil for glass by cutting a desired shape from adhesive vinyl or contact paper.
   • Stickers on the window pane are yet another alternative. Be aware that the etching cream will etch any surface that is not protected by the stickers.

   Use gem stickers to add some glitz. Stick the jewels onto the wine glass with your fingers or tweezers. Wrap them around the base of the glass, up the stem, or around the entire cup to make a stunning design. Rhinestones and other small, sparkly embellishments are ideal for this. [17]

   • Traditional jewels can be adhered with craft glue in place of adhesive jewels if you don't have any.

   • Washi tape is available in a wide variety of patterns and hues. Instead of having each guest sign in with their name, you can hand out unique patterns instead.
   • Take the washi tape off the glasses when you're done using them for the night.

   Decorating the base of your glasses with patterned paper to match the party's theme is a cinch. Circles of decorative cardstock in any pattern or design you like can be cut to fit the base of individual glasses. Finally, attach the paper to the bottom using double-sided tape. Change the paper to fit the event. [18]

   • Make the glasses uniform in size and shape or have fun mixing and matching Using striped paper for some and polka-dotted paper for others, you could decorate half the glasses in each pattern.
