A Project

Copycat

Before Christmas I was lucky enough to attend a really fantastic Christmas sale at My Sweet Savannah’s house.  She and Kimberly from Mimi Charmante put together a great little show.

As I was snooping around Melaine’s beautiful house admiring her fabulous decorating choices I also noticed she had these wonderful numbered wine glasses.  They weren’t exactly like this but maybe a little more fabulous.

These are from Ballard Design

I’m not sure where Melaine got hers or if she made them but I really did admire them.

She probably made them because she’s all talented and shit ya know?

 I didn’t want to ask her where she got them or if she had made them, because at that point in the evening I was the one leaving finger prints on everything and that would have just been rude and embarrassing.

Being the thrifty (cheap) person I am, I found the need to set out the very next day to find these on the cheap. 

Ring Ring Ring…….

WSU Laura:  Hello

Me:  I need those glasses that Melaine had last night. I need to go to town right now and find some!  You want to go with?

WSU Laura: Ok

So Starbucks in hand we were off to town to find these glasses. 

Well about half way through our shopping quest we forgot what we were looking for and got all caught up in the fun Cupcake stuff at Crate and Barrel.

We both came home with this

instead of the wine glasses.

I did found some etched glasses that I really loved but a set of 6 of those glasses were $154.

Well guess what???

Too expensive for me! 

I just wanted them for the occasional party not for everyday

After leaving Crate and Barrel with our new fancy cupcake holder I said to WSU Laura “Why can’t we make those glasses?”

You all know I’m not so crafty.  Crafts usually mean some sort of emergency room visit, scaring or something very painful for me.

Oh yeah, there is the cussing and making up new bad words that comes with me crafting also.

Laura laughed and said “sure you can make your own”  

She’s supportive that way.

Because she’s such a good friend this is what she gave me for Christmas

12 very plain wine glasses

and a potential emergency room visit!

I trotted my crafty little self down to my local Ben Franklins Crafts  the other day

and got me some vinyl numbers made.

Then I commenced to put them on the glasses

First to find the very special tools for this project

The Pampered Chef Stoneware scraper

  Some scissors

Then lay they vinyl number on the glasses, and start rubbing away!

There they are!

I was so happy with how these turned out that there might just be a set of them turning on a Junk Junket for a door prize.

With no accidents on this project it’s encouraged me to perhaps try something else.

Cheers to crafting!
