DIY Etched Wine Glasses

With party planning on my mind and my calendar, I had to get organized this week.  I had some DIY inspiration from a few blogging friends, Pinterest and of course, Martha Stewart so, I decided to get my act together with my bar ware.

First, I bought 12 wine glasses for $1.00 each at my local Dollar Store.

Then I headed over to Michael’s to pick up the Martha Stewart Craft tools for etching on glass.  I needed a set of adhesive stencils and the etching medium & brush.

 After a little thinking and measuring, I came up with this plan.  I placed a piece of painters tape at the top of each glass then adhered the stencil underneath.  This gave me the same measurement on each glass and a straight line for the stencil.  Believe it or not, it only took me about an hour to do all 12 glasses.  This process was SO easy and the results…OUTSTANDING, right?

Now, when folks come over, everyone can go to the bar, pick up a glass, fill it with their favorite beverage and just pick their own special number.   The key will be to remember that number….
