DIY Painted Plaid & Lemon Glasses

May 22, 2018~ Cocktails, DIY and craft projects, painting, Summer

It’s been a hot minute since I wrote a post here! Just over a week, and I’ve been busy in the background playing catch-up and doing other stuff. I’m still here though <3 I also want to thank you all for the overwhelming outpouring of love after my // PCOS post last week. // These DIY Painted Plaid & Lemon Glasses have been in the back of my mind since Atlanta, and was so happy to be able to put them together yesterday. They’re fresh, colourful, and summery.

They’d look tasty with any of my summer cocktail recipes too // here //

My DIY Painted Plaid & Lemon Glasses are the cutest thing you'll see all day. You can make your own summer drinkware with a retro and fun vibe, in just an afternoon.

You can make these in any combination of plaid and lemons, but I think they look super cute together, ya know?

I did the same process on each glass, so if the colours shown for each step are different, don’t worry! It’s the same process for each glass.

Step 1: Start by painting the first coat of the lemons on the glasses. It’s a simple shape to do, nothing fancy. Don’t worry, you’ll add a second coat and some shadowing later.

Step 2: Do a second coat! The first glass should be dry by the time you’re done the last one in a set of 4.

Step 3: Add a little green leaf to each lemon, and then start by placing two vertical stripes, relatively close together, at even intervals around the glass. I got 5 sets of stripes on each glass.

Step 4: Add 3 horizontal stripes in the same colour as the vertical stripes. Using a contrasting but complimentary shade, add a shadow detail to each lemon with a simple brush stroke.

Step 5: While you’re at it, add another coat to the stripes and the leaf. Then when it’s all dry, add a second set of stripes in another shade from the same colour. In this case, I used 4 colours: 2 blues and 2 pinks, and just used them across the glasses.

As you can see, some of the stripes aren’t super clean. That’s OK. Short of taping everything off and taking forever, there was no way I was gonna get clean lines, so I’m embracing the very loose style and loving it. Because the lemons are so tight, it all works.

Step 6: Let everything dry and then coat them with a dishwasher safe sealant.

I am SO happy with how these DIY Painted Plaid & Lemon Glasses turned-out. They’re fun, they’re whimsical, and boy do they hold a solid glass of lemonade.

Happy Friday?

Excuse me, have you seen these floors?! AD: The Ch Excuse me, have you seen these floors?! AD: The Champagne Oak flooring from @goldenselect is the one element (other than paint) that runs throughout our house! It’s a unifying element, and brings depth to each space, especially the ones built around neutrals. It’s waterproof, exceptionally durable (to pets and kids!) and easy to clean. It’s also the flooring we installed in our last home, so you know we love it!

AD: in the meantime, I’ve got @mrsmeyerscleandaycanada’s NEW Rain Water detergent to bridge the gap between snow storms and rain storms. 🧺 I use the liquid detergent to keep our clothes clean, smelling fresh, and in ship shape for all that life with a toddler throws our way. Head to my stories for more details!
