DIY Frosted Wine Glasses

Happy Wednesday to all my readers out there. Time to get our blog on!  The project I picked to try out this week is the "DIY frosted wine glasses."  If you're like me or my girlfriends you can never have enough wine glasses and come on, these look easy enough right??

Let me just start off by saying this IS NOT going to be a happy, feel good blog post! This project Pissed me off. I know that's easy to do, but I am not a fan of wasting my time and especially my money!! Nor am I fan of clicking on a Pinterest Pin and the link being broken. This project is completely self explanatory, but I still like to know where the idea is coming from and I certainly don't like having to waste even more time looking for the source. I gave up after 10 minutes because I'd already wasted too much of my day making these crappy wine glasses.

So, here's what you supposedly need: Wine glasses from the Dollar Tree, (which I heart by the way. These wine glasses are freaking huge and perfect for my habit) rubberbands and frosted glass spray paint.

I hit up my local Dollar Tree, which knows me as the Posh Pinner now because I spend so much time there, for my wine glasses and then headed over to Michaels for the paint. They only had the silver in, which I assume means a bunch of Pinterest freaks like myself scooped up all the white to try out this project. If that's the case there are A LOT of PISSED off PINNERS out there!! And this stuff was not cheap.

 I looked at the pics from the Pinterest pin and wrapped my wine glass with the rubber bands. Next, I went outside and sprayed a light coat of paint on the glass. I turned the glass over when I was done to let it dry for a couple of hours.

There's another pin going around on Pinterest doing basically the same project except using round stickers instead of the rubber bands. I thought "oh what the hell" and decided to give it a try since I already had the paint out. I placed the stickers on the glass and then sprayed it with the paint and let it dry as well.

Here's where I started to get mad. As I watched the glasses dry, I noticed the color from the stickers started to bleed from the paint. I was perturbed but blamed myself for not thinking about that. (even though no where on these pins does it say not to use colored stickers and that's all I could find.) I was still hoping they'd come out OK. I gave the glasses another couple of hours to dry and then decided to pull the stickers and rubberbands off to see how they turned out.

Here's where I got pissed! The dang paint gunked up around and under the stickers and the rubberbands. This created this sticky icky glob! It was so gloopy and looked so bad the glasses were ruined! Just a Hot Mess!! I just used a light coat of the paint too! What the heck..   Not to mention this paint has the worst smell. I've left these glasses outside for 2 weeks trying to get rid of it but they still stink.

Do you see this!!! How crappy does this look?? I seriously doubt I did anything wrong during this project. Glass, rubberband and paint! Same thing happened with the sticker glasses.

Wine glasses: (i bought 6 so I'd have a set) about $7.00, Rubberbands $1.12, Stickers $1.24, Frosted glass spray paint about  $10.00 So about $20 bucks.. That's a freaking manicure, or 2 comfy Target T's, or 4 Pumpkin Spice Lattes!! Not to mention all the time it took driving to Wal-mart, the Dollar Tree, Michaels and then the actual time I put into making these stupid things that are now in a landfill somewhere.. (yeah, yeah, yeah. Landfill... I said it)

Verdict: NOT HAPPY!!! Waste of my time and money!! Stay far away from this project!!!!!

Next week join me for the trials and tribulations I went through trying to make my niece Leighton a homemade chalkboard table for her 2nd Birthday!
