Oh, you're supposed to actually do the pin's.....

Finally, I finally actually did a pinterest craft. I am really good at pinning. Really good. And, I'm pretty good at trying the recipes that I pin. Not so good at actually doing the hands on crafts though.So, I finally tried one. Of course, in usual Sunny fashion, I changed it a bit.

Here is the link to the original pin Easy Confetti Tumblers.  The blogger did a great job on her tumblers. They are really pretty. She did so well and made it look so easy that I had to try it for myself.

I had everything I needed already. (Which may explain why this is the only craft I have ever done from pinterest.)

Here's what I used:

• Two wine glasses (Who doesn't have a ton of extra wine glasses in the house... really?)
• Acrylic paints (In this case, regular old Crayola paints taken from Robbie's art box in his room.. shhhhh....)
• Top coat nail polish (Yes, it's Opi. But, it's all I had. Next time I will buy a cheap brand instead of wasting my Opi)

The original blogger did these really pretty little dots on hers. I tried that. It didn't work so well for me. The glory of this project is that if you don't like what you did, you can just wash it off. I ended up doing a nice little "swiping" motion with my paint brush.

I started with the lighter color, overlapping some of the brush strokes. Then I added the darker color. More as an accent.

I love green colors. And I think it will look good with a nice chardonnay in the glass.
The other glass I made was orange and red. It will look great with a red wine. Some of you will say, "But Sunny, you used two white wine glasses. Shouldn't you have used a red wine glass too?" Well, yes I should have. And I even have some plain red wine glasses, but, honestly, I didn't think about it until after I had painted. So, there you go. I will do some red wine glasses though.  Because I really like it.

 Once the paint dries, go over your painted area with the nail polish. Only polish over the painted area. You don't want to use the acrylic paints or the nail polish up close to the rim of your glass. Not good at all.  

Let it all dry and then enjoy. This will look great on tumblers or stemless wine glasses. Oooohhhh and on martini glasses and margarita glasses too. I may have to return Robbie's paints and get my own if I keep this up.

Enjoy my friends, enjoy.
