Altered…. Shot Glass?

Sure!  Why the heck not. 

After all we don’t really use it for its intended purpose anymore right?  (say yes, my Mom reads this blog)

This is actually an older project that I’m just getting around to sharing, and if you’d like to make one too there are 3 easy steps:

1. Coat the glass using acrylic paint in the color of your choice.  I used Making Memories brand, and it took maybe 2-3 coats.  But it dries quickly.
2. If you are applying flat embellishments or painting a design, do this next.  I used rub-ons from Basic Grey(which work great), and then colored them in a bit with different colors of MM paint.  Let dry.
3. Next, coat the whole thing in Gloss Mod Podge and let dry.  This seals the paint/embellishments and will keep them from chipping.  This has been on my kitchen shelf and moved around for quite some time and it’s still holding up. 

Then just add any finishing touches you wish.  I attached the ribbon trim with Mod Podge too.

Now, I realize this glass does have the perfect shape for what it became, it’s a special one.  One of our favorite places to go with friends for birthdays or just a night out is called Dave And Busters, which is where this came from.  I love Dave and Busters.  There is good food, drinks, arcade games, and you can turn tickets in for prizes (whee!).  Think Chucky Cheese for adults… minus the creepy animatronic characters. 

I’m digressing… the point is you don’t necessarily need to do this with a shot glass…. anything glass will do, even a bud-vase that’s meant to actually be one.

Hope you’re having a great start to your week and enjoying Spring. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
