I thought for my first blog I would show today's craft project. I painted a wine glass today. I made it look like a snowman. I flipped it upside down so that I could actually use it as a candle holder. If you are familar with other craft sites or even pinterest, I am sure you have seen them before.
This is an up close picture of his face. I used enamel glass paints I picked up from Wal-Mart. I let each layer dry before adding another to make sure the colors don't bleed.
I even decided to make the bottom of the glass (which becomes the top where the candle sits) into a cute snowflake.
Overall I am happy with how it came out. My daughter really likes it. I plan on making more for other holidays as well. I amy even decide to make some to sell in my shop in the future. ;)
Well thank you very much for stopping by and checking out my first ever entry and I hope you enjoyed it.
