A Quick & Easy Gift

Not really Prim, but my neices first birthday was this past weekend...so I painted her a cute little plate just for that special occasion!  This was just an inexpensive $2.97 plate from Walmart, that she will have each year for her "special day"!  

Well, now EVERYONE of my neices wants one!  Guess I will be busy this year making a few more plates! 


Here are a few Glasses that I painted for this past Superbowl.  These were ALL glasses that I bought from the Dollar Tree!  Of course I live in Pittsburgh, so we are BIG Steelers fans here!  Well, I made everyone a glass to drink from during the Superbowl this year!  Everyone got  their "initials" painted on them so no one lost their drink!  Here they are all grouped together.


My sisters got Wine glasses, since they love their wine!  This is the backs of them...I put crystals on them too for them.  We love the Steelers, Pirates, & Penguins here...so, now they can use their glasses for any of the sporting season!


The "underside" of the wine glasses had The Pittsburgh cocktail recipe!


The Guys got Pilsners for their beer!

The backs of them!




The bottoms!

Here is mine and my hubby's...we like our "Sweet Tea"...so, this is what we drank from!  Simple and plain...and something ANYONE can paint!  Just some lines and a few dots can dress up any glass!



Their Bottoms!

Next time you don't know what to get someone as a gift...how about a painted plate or a set of Dollar Tree Glasses?!

  3. Those are so great. What type of paint did you use and do you have to put a seal on the plate?

  6. The birthday plate is such a great idea! Kids love things with their name on it (and so do grown-ups)! And the Super Bowl glasses are so awesome - a great idea for any party! I'm wondering what kind of paint, too... I think I'd like to give this a try!

  8. The plate is very cute and I can see why everyone would like to have one. Your painted glassware was probably a hit during the superbowl. Neat ideas.

  10. Love these!!! Your lettering is wonderful... don't know how you get it all on there so evenly. Are you using those paint pens from the craft store or enamels?
