DIY Halloween Wine Glasses and Wine Charms

Create unique, inexpensive and beautiful wine glasses for guests at your next Halloween party with this simple DIY Halloween tutorial using Martha Stewart Glass Paints from Martha Stewart Crafts and dollar store wine glasses.

These adorable wine glasses will look amazing decorating your table-scape and, since they are insanely cheap to make, you can send these glasses home with your guests as a party souvenir.

The colorful bat wine charms can double as a label so guests won’t lose their glass at the party. Simply grab a permanent marker to write one guest name on each large bat.

Instructions:

Wine Glasses

1. Wipe Dollar Store Wine Glasses with Rubbing Alcohol to clean.
2. Wrap Wine Glasses with Patterning Tape slightly above the top of the glass stem. Since the glasses are round, I found it easier to use small pieces of patterning tape and layer them to create a circle around the glass.
3. Paint the Wine Glass stems with Glass Paint Metallic color Black Nickel until covered using the Large Nylon Bristle Brush.
4. Let dry as directed.
5. Repeat step #3 and #4 to create a second coat.
   
6. Using the small bat from Adhesive Stencils Holiday Icons II, paint two black bats on one side of the Wine Glass with Glass Paint Metallic color Black Nickel using the Large Nylon Bristle Brush.
7. Let dry as directed.
8. Repeat step #6 and #7 to create a second coat.

Wine Charms

1. Using the small bat from Adhesive Stencils Holiday Icons II and the large bat from Martha Stewart Stencils Holiday Icons, paint a variety of bats on the Printable Plastic with Multi Surface Satin Acrylic Craft Paint in colors Granny Smith, Carrot and Arrowhead.
2. Let dry as directed.
3. Repeat step #1 and #2 to create a second coat.
4. Carefully cut out bats.
5. Using a punch or small nail, punch a hole in each bat for securing to a ring.
6. Layer 1-2 bats on each ring and attach to the stem of each wine glass.
