We hosted a Chili Cook Off last weekend at our place and I wanted to make some kind of party favors for people to bring home and remember the day. I thought Pint Glasses would be perfect, but they were REALLY expensive! Instead, I invested in this stuff:
Rustoleum Frosted Glass Spray Paint. It was only a few bucks at Home Depot!
I looked into the etching creams at the craft store and they looked like a lot of work and a big mess. This was
soo easy! I bought
Ikea beer glasses ( I think I got 48 of them for $70!) and I used contact paper, cut a little chili pepper into it, and covered the glass. Then I just sprayed into the opening and voila!
I know it's a little hard to see the frosted glass....so here is another angle:
Then, with leftover cut-outs of little chili peppers that I had laying around, I decorated the other glasses. I put the chili pepper sticker on the glasses, and then sprayed around them....
Here's another look:
Cute huh? I will admit, it took me all night after work, but it was worth it. They turned out pretty good and were just waiting for our guests to pick up on the way out!
And here she is drinking some water to get ready for round 2....I think Cooper is giving her hints on how to play hard to get :)
We are so proud of our little girl! Wish her luck! And make sure to check out Burger and his Parents' blogs to see what they're up to!
And now the much more sophisticated after!
The colors go so well with the walls and the furniture! Here's a closer look....
It is so comfy too! I cannot believe that I got a comforter, TWO sets of shams, a bedskirt and 2 throw pillows for only $39! What a deal. And we even shared the love with the love seat to tie the whole ensemble together :)
