Stenciled Christmas Wine Glasses

Thanks to a great friend at SaSea Boutique who introduced us to this craft! We used the Martha Stewart Holiday Adhesive Stencils and it includes a lot of different holiday stencils. The ideas are endless!!! 

These are great for a holiday party or gift!

What you need:

• Wine Glasses (Got ours at The Dollar Tree...yes you read that right $1)
• Martha Stewart Crafts Adhesive Stencils
• Martha Steward Craft Paint
• Paint Brush

How to make it:

• Clean wine glasses. 
• Once dried, stick the stencil on the glass.

• Paint in the stencil. (Do not overload paint on the brush because it may seep under the stencil.)

• While paint is still wet, carefully peel stencil off. 
• Continue this process until your design is complete.
• Once complete, clean stencils with soap and water. I was very happy that the stencils were reusable.

Note: If the paint seeps under the stencil, clean it before using it again.
