DIY GOLD-DIPPED CHAMPAGNE FLUTES

By Kelly and Alan

These add the perfect amount of glitz and glam to

that next dinner you're looking forward to hosting.

You’ll need:

Non-toxic gold spray paint

Champagne flutes or wine glasses

Plastic or Ziplock bag

Painter’s tape

Rip off a 6-inch piece of tape. Center the tape over the base of the glassware, rubbing the bottom edge against the glass. Pull the sides up at a slight angle. As long as the bottom edge is taped smoothly, it’s fine if the top edge of the tape ripples or folds. Bring one side of the tape up and across the flute. Although the spray paint used is non-toxic, try to keep the outline far below the lip line.

Bring the other side of the tape across so the

two pieces meet at a point. Tape on a ziplock

or plastic bag while still exposing the bottom

edge of the tape.

Lightly spray multiple and even coats of paint onto the glass from a couple feet away. Allow paint to dry completely before removing the bag and tape.

Remember: Always spray paint outdoors in a well-ventilated

area. As well, these are not dishwasher safe and should only

be hand-washed.
