I’ve always had a unique problem: I have a SUPER common name, but an unusual way of spelling it. This means that I missed out on all of those cheesy pencils, key-chains or anything with my name on it. While it’s totally not the end of the world, an 8 year old version of myself would beg to differ. Now that I’m older, if I can put Ashleigh on ANYTHING, I will.
Since it’s summer and there are frequent parties, I thought I would show you how to easily make fun wine glasses. Yes, that whole permanent marker and Solo cup technique might still work for the kids, but once you learn how easy it is to make your own fun glasses, you’ll be addicted.
Not only do I have a fun craft for your next gathering, I have the perfect, budget friendly wine to pour into those fancy glasses. You all know, I LOVE a nice glass of wine. That being said, with back to school around the corner, we can’t be forking over $20-30 per bottle. I’m always on the lookout for delish wine and Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi is our go-to. It’s just meant to be shared! We grab the large 1.5L bottles before heading to any BBQ.
For a white, I highly suggest the Sauvignon Blanc for a crowd. It’s semi-sweet, not too dry and a perfect chilled treat for the summer. It’s great with chicken or fish, even turkey burgers or salad! For a red, the Cabernet Sauvignon is my go-to. This red holds up it’s flavor with beef dishes, like burgers or even a hearty veggie dish.
Heads up: I’m not the craftiest gal on the block. So this is proof that ANYONE can do these and still wow the crowd! The glitter is completely optional, but how fun is it?!
Here’s what you’ll need:
- Plastic wine glasses (or glass, if you’re brave!)
- All purpose glue (make sure it dries clear!)
- Glitter
- Paint Marker
- Foam brushes
- Glossy Sealer
Step ONE: Using the foam brush, add a thin layer of the glue. Remember, it dries clear!
Step TWO: Sprinkle layers of glitter. Be prepared for a mess! I like to use a crumpled paper bag to collect any excess glitter.
Step THREE: using a different foam brush, press down glitter. Also, be sure to shake off any excess!
Step FOUR: Add a thick layer of the gloss finish, trying to stay close to the glitter area. It’s okay if some comes off!!
Step FIVE: Now it’s time to personalize. Use any color paint marker to add names, quotes or even fun patterns. I just used freehand, but you can totally use a stencil too! Tip: this would be SO fun for a bachelorette party or shower!
Ta-da! You’re done. The paint marker dries very quickly. I will say that these are HAND WASH only, just quickly wash out after use. For a party, you can send your guests home with the cups for a nice little treat. Another cute idea would be to make 2 for a hostess and give her a bottle of Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi.

I’ve used a Sharpie before but never attempted glitter – love this and it’s a must try! #client
This is so cool. I am going to have to try this. Thanks for the idea!
You had me at “Wine O’clock.”

These personalized wine glasses are definitely a great way to jazz up boring plastic cups. Glitter makes everything more fun, well except clean up! This same idea would be great for birthday parties, too.

What a fun and creative way to add some fun to an every day object! I’ve seen regular stemware glittered, but I never thought about adding glitter to plastic/disposable wine glasses! This is such a fun way to add some pizzazz to a party and STILL avoid tons of dishes! Love!!
I’ve wanted to try alcohol ink for a while. It looks really cool, but I wasn’t sure how hard it would be. This doesn’t sound very hard at all. And your glasses turned out great!
