I had so much fun planning for my best friend’s bachelorette party! I was able to make some wine glasses, shot glasses and some hangover kits for a fraction of the price that I would have paid if I had ordered them.
I was able to make the wine glasses for $2.56 each and the shot glasses for 78¢! And that includes the paint and paint brushes. I still have plenty of paint and the paint brushes, so if I do this again it would only be the cost of the wine glasses or shot glasses themselves.
I was able to get 12 wine glasses for $12.99 at Marshall’s:
I also picked up 12 shot glasses for $7.98.
The paint was only $1.79 each. I got gloss enamel paint
that is safe for glass. You can also use glass markers to write directly on the glass.
First I had to clean each glass with rubbing alcohol.
I printed the letters in the font that I wanted (it took several tried to get the right size).
Next I taped the letters to the inside of the glass so I could trace them.
This was a smaller one, I ended up making bigger letters. Then I painted! It took forever! I really thought this would be quick, but it took a while to get used to the paint and the brush. The paint was also really thin and I needed to do 3-4 layers just to get it as dark as I wanted.
I painted the bottoms pink so I had to dry them upside down. The shot glasses also got letters, and pink paint on the bottom.
I started off with a glass of wine, but had to stop. It was too hard to paint sober, I couldn’t handle the buzz!
Tomorrow I will go into detail about the hangover kits that I was able to make for $2.02 each.
This def took more time then I would have liked but it was a fun experience and a great way to make my friends party special without spending a lot of money.
How have you made a party special for less? I would love to hear!

What did you use to seal the paint on the glasses so they did not rub off or get ruined during use.

I didn’t use anything special. Baking it kept it on very well. The glasses I made in this post just started to fade! I have since made another batch and have found that they do NOT hold up well to the dishwasher. If you hand wash them, they should last for years! Mine held up better than ones that I paid over $20 for!

You can change the size when printing? I sometimes try different %- Maybe go with 150% and see if that helps?
