Is anyone setting a special table for a dinner for two on the 14th February? 'Rumour has it' (would make a good movie eh?) that there are many Anniversaries celebrated on this day....
So with that said, I started off with these:
and finished up with these:
Yes, yes....I can hear you...' but how do we wash them'?.... weeeeell, they arent my good wine glasses and I actually picked them up for 50c each today! So go to your $2 store etc! These are for fun - to help decorate your table if its worth something special to you. (They might endure one or two rinse-outs if lucky They could be filled with chocolates to give as a gift??? Oooooor 'could' actually use this idea to dress up a bride and grooms glass for the wedding table.
Step 1 We are going to use the pink side of the paper and the pink doily from the sticker sheet. I see this glass as the 'girl' glass
So turn over your pink paper to the patterned side and draw a line around the base of your glass and cut it out
Step 2 Stick the doily to the pink paper
Step 3 Glue around the edge of the base of the glass
Step 4 Adhere the pink paper and sticker to the base of the glass with the sticker facing up
*****edited in after this whole project has been created, photographed and uploaded: Paige took one look regarding the photo above and said - 'You could put little diamontes in there to rattle around and those little hangy things off the stem'... Weeeeeeell why didnt I think of that -so there's more ideas*******
Step 5 Pick out a little sticker (liked the red type to go with the pink) and back it on the pink paper - snip it into a banner-like shape
Step 6 Next we are going to use this sticker:
so.... measure the top of your glass:
as we need a length of pink paper to back the sticker and string up the little tag as well
to stick to the top of the glass (use a peg to hold it in place)
Step 7 Using little enamel dots... decorate the top of the base of the glass:
Thats the end of decorating the 'pink' glass
Now lets do it all again - but a little differently with the 'grey' (boy) glass!
Step 8 Repeat the same process as you did with the pink doily, but instead use the little grey one...
Step 9 This time instead of using stickers and the paper - we are going to use a chipboard sticker strip from Ruby 12x12 chipboard stickers. Oooh this is must easier!!! I wasnt sure if the thick cardboard would wind round the glass okay without tearing or cracking - but it worked a treat! Need to snip a bit of the end off to fit properly around.
Step 10 This time I used the patterned side of the paper to get a grey backing for the little tag - and used one of the sentiments with grey type
Step 11 Its time to adhere the little tag on with string and put a sticker over the top as well to dress it up.
Step 12 Add the enamel dots to the base, and even up near the top of the glass!
What a great way to add a special touch to a dinner table for a special night in - thanks for sharing Mandy and a special thanks to Paige for her added extra ideas

LOL Mel.... ah nope - the day will come and go -- I gave the pink one to Hannah - she's 18 now - and weeeeell, there's her first wine glass (not that she likes wine!) But she loved the decoration and sentiment all the same.
