1. Glass Paint

A. Choosing the right paint

• Select non-toxic paint that adheres to glass surfaces
• Look for paints that are dishwasher safe after curing
• Choose a wide range of colors to create stunning designs

B. Preparing the surface

• Ensure the wine glasses are clean and dry
• Gently sand the glass surface to create a better painting surface
• Use rubbing alcohol to wipe down the area before painting

C. Designing your glass

• Sketch your design or get inspiration from online sources
• Use stencils or masking tape to create crisp lines and detailed patterns
• Get creative by blending colors, adding textures, or using different brush sizes

D. Curing the paint

• Follow the recommended curing time on the paint's instructions
• Ensure the painted glasses are kept in a well-ventilated area while curing
• Once cured, bake the glasses in an oven for a dishwasher-safe finish (if specified on the paint instructions)

2. Etching

A. Choosing the right etching cream

• Select an etching cream specifically designed for glass
• Purchase a cream that is easy to work with and produces consistent results
• Consider choosing a cream with lower toxicity for a safer crafting experience

B. Preparing the design

• Create your design on adhesive vinyl using a cutting machine or buy pre-made stencils
• Thoroughly clean the glass surface before applying the stencil
• Apply the stencil with precision to ensure crisp and uniform etching

C. Applying the etching cream

• Follow the instructions on the etching cream packaging for best results
• Wear gloves and protective eyewear to avoid skin and eye irritation
• Apply an even and thick coat of the cream over the stencil design
• Allow the cream to sit for the advised amount of time, then rinse off thoroughly

3. Embellishments

A. Choosing materials

• Select beads, crystals, or other baubles that complement your wine glasses
• Opt for high-quality materials to create a luxurious appearance
• Ensure the materials are durable and able to withstand hand washing

B. Attaching embellishments
