Project #3: Knock off Anthropologie Glasses

If you are looking for an easy and relaxing project to do while watching a movie then this one is definitely good to try.  From start to finish it took me about 1-1/2 to 2 hours... the perfect length for a movie night :)

Pinspiration- Anthropology glasses which are no longer available

Step One- Gather Materials:

- FolkArt enamel paint 
*can be found at Michaels or Hobby Lobby for  about $8 with one of their 40% or 50% off coupons
- Glasses of choice  
*I chose to experiment on some cool wine glasses that I found at TJ Maxx
- Paint brushes or Q-tips 
*Q-tips are WAY easier and still give you a similar look

This is the enamel paint (sorry for the blurriness folks).  There are a lot of colors in this container so I chose not to mix anything special for this project.  It was pretty easy to find ones that I liked :) 

Color Scheme #1- Red, Orange, and Yellow

Color Scheme #2- Pink, Purple, and White

Step Two- Paint!

 

As I mentioned above... using q-tips to paint the glasses was just too easy.  Just dab the q-tip in the paint and spot away!

I focused on doing one color layer at a time.  That way, after I was done applying all of the colors I could go back and add touches of color wherever else I felt it was needed.

Close up shot of the paint layers... lookin good!

Those purple spots turned out MUCH darker than I would have liked... but I still like it :)

COMPLETED!  Purple, Pink, and White mix

COMPLETED!  Red, Orange, and Yellow mix

Step Three- Place the glasses on a cooking sheet in your cold oven.  Turn oven on to 350 degrees.  Once the oven has reached 350- set the timer for 30 minutes.  After your glasses have 'baked' for 30 minutes at 350 degrees- turn the oven off and let it cool with the glasses inside.  It's important to let the glasses heat up and cool down INSIDE of the oven so that the glass doesn't break.

Now you're ready to use those beauties!

I think next time I'll try experimenting on some stemless glasses :)
