Why this project works


Looking for how to paint wine glasses? Well, you’ve come to the right place. It’s surprisingly easy to craft your own hand-painted wine glasses.  All you need is a couple of extra wine glasses, some paint from the craft store, and blue tape. And no need to choose the traditional Valentine’s Day colors. Try a collection of rainbow hearts or make a set for your favorite person in their favorite color.

More of a champagne lover? Make sure to check out these Confetti Champagne Glasses that you can easily transform into a heart design like the wine glasses below.

Crafting Tip


If you already have a bunch of regular acrylic paints, instead of buying enamels, you can add this enamel medium to your regular acrylics to make them suitable for glass.

How to Paint Wine Glasses


Get full list of supplies and directions in the printable version at the end of this post. 

  1. Wash the glasses and let them dry. Rub alcohol or vinegar on the surface to be sure it’s totally clean. Let dry.
  2. Layer a couple strips of blue tape on wax paper until it’s wider than your heart cookie cutter. Trace the heart on the blue tape with the marker and cut out. Peel off of the wax paper and stick the tape heart to the side of the glass. Make a heart for each glass you are painting.heart shaped cut out of blue painters tape
  3. Next, paint with acrylic enamels. Make different size dots using the non-brush end of paintbrushes. For larger dots, dip the eraser of a pencil in the paint. Make a mistake? Just wipe it off right away with a paper towel or Q-Tip. For best results, let each color dry before adding the next color.red polka dots painted on wine glass
  4. Let the paint set and remove the blue tape. If any paint escaped into the heart area, use a Q-Tip to remove.
  5. To cure, you may either let the glasses sit for 21 days before using OR place the glasses in the cold oven, turn it on to 350 degrees F for 30 minutes. Turn off the oven and open the door. Let the glasses cool completely in the oven before removing.

      What would the ratio be for acrylic paint to medium.

      Thank you

      I’m thinking about putting glitter on glasses, would that work?

        Yes, but your best bet is to use a glitter enamel paint, rather than adding loose glitter.

      If I add the enamel medium to the paint, is the glass still able to be used with consumables?

        As long as you’re not painting where a mouth will touch it and it won’t touch food or drink, then it will be fine.

      After they’ve set, can they be washed or run through the dishwasher without losing the paint?

        Hi Jennifer :) It totally depends on the enamel paints that you use. It will usually say on the back of the bottle. We always wash our hand painted drinkware by hand to be safe.

      These are absolutely beautiful! Using the tape and cookie cutter was such a creative way to make the sticky heart!
