Sunflower Glasses À La Pier One

Hello!  Thank you for popping in to my blog!  

The Spring has graciously decided to stay here in California, at long last!  Retailers are always ahead of the game, and have already begun displaying Summer wares.  On a recent browsing, I came across these adorable flutes at Pier One.

I liked them, but $8.95 per glass seemed a bit pricey, especially when I usually buy my glasses in sets of ten or twelve at a time.  These would likely only be used during Summer.....needless to say, I walked away without them.  

Well, those darned glasses kept niggling at me in the back of my mind, so it was a couple of days later when I hopped online. I did a quick search of Pier One Floral Glasses, because I couldn't remember the name of the particular glass.  When I did, these came up. 

I liked these glasses even more than the first, and they fit perfectly with the Tablescape theme I had begun planning, yet these were even more at $10 each.  I decided I could accomplish a similar knock-off much more inexpensively.  Here is my process.    

You will need:

Flutes

Yellow paint

Orange paint

Green paint 

Paint brushes, one large one small

I decided to use these faux sunflowers as an inspiration, knowing I'd be using them in my tablescape.

I began by using the larger brush to paint petals.  Allow dry time.

Next, I painted the stems of the glasses in forest green. Allow dry time. 

Next, I brought in the orange using the smaller of the two brushes. 

All done!

Here is how the flutes look upside down. 

What is great about this project is I completed it in less than ten minutes, and the paint won't come off with use, but washes off easily with soap and water.  This is a really simple and inexpensive way to elevate plain glass for a get-together.  

Flutes, $1 each at The Dollar Tree

Paints, $0.69 each at Walmart
