Masters use several methods to decorate wedding glasses with stained glass paints. For the first, you will need to prepare such materials:

The contours for the stained-glass window are separated from the base and attached to the glasses. The glass surface should first be degreased. The void between the contours is neatly, evenly painted over with paints. After drying, at the transition of the glass, a ribbon is tied into the leg or a small flower is glued.

The next method will appeal to lovers of drawing. For its implementation, a stencil, adhesive tape and the same materials as in the previous version will be required.

A stencil bought in a store or drawn independently is fixed with tape in the inside of the glass. And outside all contours are well drawn with contoured stained-glass paint. He needs to dry for several hours.

After that, you can remove the stencil and follow the steps described above. If the master is confident in his talent, then you can draw immediately without stencils, relying only on your imagination.
