Beading pattern for wedding glasses. Original and unique wedding glasses

A universal selection of gift ideas for any occasion and occasion. Surprise your friends and loved ones! ;)

Hello, dear guests and blog readers! Wedding themes really inspire me, so today I will tell you how to decorate glasses with your own hands. There will be master classes and ideas for decorating these romantic symbols.

As you probably know, one of the main traditions that accompany a wedding event is the breaking of glasses. But this was the case before - now this tradition is increasingly being abandoned or a spare pair (simpler in design or repeating the main one) is broken up.

At one time, my husband and I were somehow not puzzled about decorating our wedding glass couple. But in vain. Don’t make such a mistake - use creative thoughts to the fullest!

How are glasses decorated?

Anything, anything! Basically, these are, of course, satin ribbons, lace, various kinds of rhinestones and beads. But here you can also add polymer clay, self-adhesive paper, twine and even knitted fabric. How? You'll see everything later!

DIY wedding glasses: master classes

For decoration you will need simple glasses, artificial petals, satin ribbon, lace and decorative elements.

Ribbon and lace

First, you will need to wrap a satin ribbon around the stem of the glass. Then make a skirt from one or more layers of lace, gathering it at the top. Tighten this skirt around the base and tie a satin bow. All that remains is to glue the rhinestones or other decorative elements.

Decoration with roses

For this glass, prepare artificial rose petals, glue or a glue gun, and decor. All you need to do is carefully glue the petals at the junction of the leg and the main part. The petals must be attached in layers, one after the other, so that at the end you get a flower. You can decorate it with rhinestones and satin ribbon.

Lace decoration

The same materials are needed. First you will need to cut a piece equal in length to the circumference of the glass, then glue it to the glue gun. Approximately the same piece will be used to decorate the leg: to do this, gather the lace at the very top using a needle-forward stitch. Fasten the skirt at the very bottom.

Bride and Groom

Prepare fabric, veil, braid, satin ribbon and decorative elements. A butterfly can be sewn very simply: fold a square of black fabric in the middle and wrap it with a small piece of the same material.

For the groom's glass, cut the ribbon as shown in the photo, then fold another piece of ribbon so that it resembles a shirt collar. Glue all the elements to the glass.

With the bride's version, everything is much simpler - you just need to attach the braid to the glass, gather the veil, covering the place where it joins the braid with a beautiful rhinestone.

Ideas for designing and decorating wedding glasses

We use satin cord

For both of these glasses you will need soutache cord, ribbon, glue, and a veil. The main part of the work is to wrap the cord around the leg and bottom of the bowl, gradually securing it with glue. Such simple decor allows you to get creative with additional elements - bows, flowers, petals.

Polymer clay

If you have worked with this material at least a little, then it will not be difficult for you to make the same leg, as if wrapping clay around it. The same applies to roses - one minus - you need to take the non-baked version, which is air dried.

Below you see a similar, but slightly more complex option. The difficulty lies in creating openwork elements.

But here they approached the creation of an interesting image in a very original way - they used two cute dragons that clasp the stems of the glasses. But these could very well be foxes, bear cubs, swans, etc. - it all depends only on your imagination. These will be one of the most original wedding glasses. Please note - at the same time as their originality, they are very minimalist, which also attracts attention.

The next option is quite theatrical, covered with beautiful patterns. With the help of polymer clay it can be brought to life at home.

An unusual idea is to use flower patterns for glasses (not counting the classic rose). Chamomiles, lilacs, chrysanthemums and many others - all of them will be the highlight of your wedding couple.

Painting with stained glass or acrylic paints

This is a great option because the paints are available to anyone and are easy to handle. The main thing is to draw a sketch in advance of what you would like to ultimately place on the glass, and only then get to work.

The option in the photo below, for example, is decorated with both painting and beautiful flowers made of polymer clay.

The next couple is suitable for an exotic style wedding. The painting was done with stained glass paints; no additional decor was used at all.

The colors look especially elegant and stylish in combination with satin ribbon and various accessories. The pattern, as in the photo, is not difficult to make, because it is simple curls and dots.

Do you want to celebrate your wedding in a humorous, light style? Then this idea of ​​two cute cartoon faces, each labeled "Mrs" or "Mr", will come in handy. With this design, the glasses will not need to be additionally decorated, that is, the creation process will be reduced significantly.

Other materials

Continuing the thought about the humorous direction in the design, I cannot help but note the option reminiscent of glass jars with handles. Compared to an ordinary pair of glasses, these, of course, will lose in fragility and sophistication. But, if everything is in order with a sense of humor, then the bride and groom will like this interesting option. Lettering can be made using adhesive stencils and paints.

Do you like brevity? Then you will definitely like a couple of glasses below - just an inscription and a symbolic image of a mustache and lips. By the way, they can be made using self-adhesive paper (for reliability, they can be varnished). You can make any other simple patterns in the same way.

Option for the bride and her friends (ideal for a bachelorette party and further celebrations). For a bachelor party you can make similar ones, only decorated in a masculine style.

For needlewomen who create in the knitting direction, I also found an interesting idea for decorating wedding glasses. They amazingly combine home comfort and elegance - ideal for a family celebration with a small number of guests (oh, why didn’t I think of it myself?))

If the wedding is planned in the summer, then it can be decorated in a nautical style, including glass companions for the bride and groom. For this you will need twine, grosgrain ribbon with blue and white stripes and accessories in the form of a steering wheel, anchor and other attributes of sea life.

An elegant and very simple option is to decorate it with satin ribbon and dragonflies. Nothing extra Of course, it is absolutely not necessary to use dragonflies - any decorative elements are at your discretion.

Finally, I can say that the most difficult thing in decorating glasses with your own hands is making the engraving. Especially the name one. Therefore, I want to show you beautiful options for personalized glasses, which in the future you can decorate yourself - it will turn out to be “2 in 1”.

Sincerely, Anastasia Skoracheva

A wedding is an important event in the life of every married couple. Preparations for this celebration begin long ago. One of the most important attributes of a wedding table are glasses. They are kept throughout life and taken out from a secluded place on the day of celebrating the next wedding anniversary. Wedding wine glasses are decorated in different ways.

Many newlyweds buy wedding glasses. But there are also couples who choose difficult decisions and prefer to decorate them themselves. Future newlyweds who choose the second method decide in advance how to decorate their wedding glasses with their own hands.

Traditions associated with glasses

Near the wedding palace, the newlyweds break the wine glasses they drank from at the painting, and in the banquet hall they are already drinking champagne from others. It is believed that the more fragments from broken dishes, the longer and happier a married couple will live.

There are many different wedding traditions, but the custom of decorating glasses is a recent one. No one can say exactly when this ritual arose. They decorate the dishes from which they drink at the banquet. It doesn’t even make sense to compare ready-made factory-made glasses with those that are decorated with your own hands.

Any handmade product is not only original, but also an opportunity to express yourself, your feelings and use your full creative potential.

This is a great opportunity to show your future husband what kind of craftswoman he has chosen as his wife. In addition, you can put special meaning and your hopes for happiness and love into wedding attributes. And many years later, when you take out a family heirloom for your anniversary, you can be proud that it was made by yourself.

It doesn’t matter what shape the glasses are, the newlyweds can drink absolutely any drinks they choose at their discretion.

In most cases, they prefer champagne as it is considered the drink of lovers. Dishes for champagne can have different shapes and be made of glass, crystal or metal. From a practical point of view, it is best to choose glasses that are not very narrow and low - they are difficult to drink from.

Decor options

What you need to decorate glasses

Fans of unique things prefer to choose handmade products. Most likely, it will be quite difficult to choose products that match the color, size and shape. The right solution in such a situation would be to decorate wedding glasses with your own hands. Using simple materials you can create a real work of art.

For decoration you will need the following materials:

  • stained glass paints,
  • the glasses themselves,
  • nitrocellulose varnish with backlight,
  • multi-colored nail polishes.

All materials must be carefully reviewed for food contact and toxicity information. If there is any doubt, it is best to leave a couple of centimeters from the edge unpainted in order to prevent the possibility of toxic substances entering the body.

Which glue to choose?

For people who are first faced with decorating glasses with their own hands, it is quite difficult to independently choose which glue is best suited for the task at hand.

According to many needlewomen, one of the best is cyanoacrylate-based glue, which holds together almost any surface and material: garus, rhinestones, beads, beads. You can buy this glue at any hardware store.

PVA glue is best for attaching fabric, feathers and paper to glass. You can stick anything to glass. The only requirement when working with this material is accuracy. Any stains or stains are clearly visible on transparent surfaces.

Preparing for decoration

Decorating glasses should start with preparation: wash and dry. It is best to hang the product to dry in order to prevent the possibility of prints appearing on the surface of the product.

After the surface is completely dry, it is necessary to degrease it. Such measures are necessary to ensure that the paint lies evenly. The next step is to coat the glass surface with colorless paint, which will hide minor defects.

When the paint is completely dry, you can begin to decorate the products.

Varieties of decor

Gilded leg

To decorate wine glasses in this way, you need to stock up on spray paint of the appropriate color, glasses, newspapers, and tape.

  1. The upper part of the product (the one that should remain unpainted) must be wrapped in newspaper.
  2. Use tape to secure the paper to the leg.
  3. The wine glass must be placed upside down and, from a distance, begin to evenly cover the stem of the product with spray paint. Do not remove the paper until the paint is completely dry.
  4. After the gold paint has dried, in order to fix it, you can cover the entire outside of the glass with colorless paint.

Applying a monogram

Products decorated with the initials of the newlyweds or a monogram look original and interesting.

  1. For this decoration method, you need to select rhinestones with a flat back side.
  2. On plain paper you need to print out the necessary patterns or letters, cut them out, removing all that is unnecessary.
  3. A piece of paper with a pattern is placed inside the glass and, having determined the location of the monogram (initials), the paper is secured with tape on the glass.
  4. Then, focusing on the stencil, glue the rhinestones onto the glass using special glue.

When performing work, you must be very careful and make sure that the glue does not spread, since stains from it will be difficult to clean.

You can apply patterns to glass using glue and glitter.

  1. A stencil is applied to the glass and secured with tape.
  2. Then spread it with glue using a brush and sprinkle it generously with glitter.
  3. Excess glitter is shaken off and the product is left to dry.
  4. After the glue has dried, you must carefully remove the paper.

Glass painting

You can paint glasses using acrylic paints or nail polish of different shades. Simple patterns can be applied with a brush, but for more complex patterns you need to use a stencil.

After the drawings start to turn out well, you can start painting the glasses. Acrylic paints are applied to glass with thin brushes, and nail polish is applied with toothpicks.

Before you start painting wine glasses, it is best to practice on other glass surfaces.

Glasses “Bride and Groom”

The most popular wedding table decoration is the stylized glasses of the bride and groom. For decoration you need to prepare:

  • glue gun,
  • narrow ribbons,
  • flowers (artificial),
  • lace,
  • white tulle,
  • beads,
  • scissors.

To decorate the groom's glass, black lace is used for the “tail coat,” white lace for the “shirt,” and black ribbon for the “tie.” Glue beads and buttons.

Decoration with various materials

Glass items decorated with lace look very gentle and touching. You will need:

  • lace fabric or ribbon lace,
  • satin ribbons (of different lengths and widths),
  • PVA glue and a special device for its application,
  • satin ribbon flowers,
  • rhinestones and beads.

Glue is applied to both the tape and the glass. The lace is glued around the circumference of the product (going down a few centimeters from the edge).



Decorating glasses with ribbons

This decoration can be done in different ways. The simplest one is to tie a bow on the stem of a glass. But this method is best used for spectacular crystal glasses. To decorate products made from simple materials, it is better to use more complex decor.

For example, you can make flowers from satin ribbon. Ribbons can be chosen in any color. Flowers from ribbons are formed into a bouquet and glued to a glass.

You can also completely cover the glass with ribbons, and decorate the ribbons themselves with rhinestones and beads.

Decoration with artificial flower petals

Products decorated with (artificial) flower petals have a chic look.

  1. In order to decorate a wine glass in this way, you need to disassemble the desired flower into petals.
  2. The stem of the wine glass is covered with petals in such a way as to create the impression that the flower surrounds it on all sides.
  3. You can complement the composition with small beads and ribbons.

Wine glasses decorated with living plants look rich. Flowers that are present in the bride’s dress and wedding bouquet are selected for the composition. It is worth noting that this is delicate work that requires a lot of effort and time.

  1. Each flower that will be used for decoration will need to be prepared. First, it is cut short and then placed in water so that it is saturated with the necessary amount of moisture and delights the newlyweds with freshness and aroma for a long time.
  2. After water procedures, the stem is shortened as much as possible and a small piece of cotton wool is applied to the cut site, having previously moistened it in water.
  3. The cotton wool is masked using a special floral tape. Flowers can be diluted with greenery.
  4. Regular flowers are attached with tape, and small flowers are attached with special glue for plants.

All the efforts spent on the painstaking process of decorating with fresh flowers will be fully compensated by the gorgeous result.

Glasses with a surprise

An interesting solution is glasses with a secret. You can attach small pockets or bows to the wine glasses, into which you can then put notes.

In the notes, the bride and groom can write wishes to each other or a declaration of love. They will be able to read them at the celebration of some wedding anniversary.

Such a small surprise in glasses will help them, many years later, to relive the same emotions and feelings that they experienced on the very first happy day of their family life. In addition, glasses with notes can become a family heirloom and be passed on to future generations.

Decorating wedding glasses with flowers

Beautiful artificial flowers, collected in a fantasy composition, are perfect for decorating a wine glass. Fasten them tightly together and glue them to the glass. The absolute identity of the glasses is not the main thing, but their elements should be harmoniously combined with each other.

Decorating them is a good way to show your imagination, highlight the uniqueness of your couple, and add even more beauty to the celebration. If you have other interesting and unusual ideas for decorating wedding glasses, share them in the comments.

There are no small details in preparing for a wedding. Everything matters: the cafe in which the celebration will take place, the program of the celebration, the bride’s dress, and the decoration of the wedding table. There is so much to think about that your head is spinning with worries. And the financial side can make even the calmest newlyweds worry. Initial calculations have to be adjusted many times, and the final amount is much more impressive in size.

But in this bustle, you can sometimes allow yourself to relax a little, think about the pleasant side of the event: after all, now two loving hearts will be together! It’s good if some thing, some souvenir, is preserved from the wedding day that will remind the husband and wife on the day of the “golden” wedding of their first joint holiday - a real wedding. Glasses for newlyweds, decorated by the future spouse, can become such a symbol of the union of two lovers. And even though many leave the design of wedding glasses to professionals, you will have an exclusive pair made by yourself. You won't find this in any store!

What you will need


By decorating glasses yourself, you can calm down and dream while making a unique item. At the same time, you will slightly reduce wedding expenses. It seems that a couple of glasses is a trifle! But by saving a little here and there, you can eventually save a larger amount for your honeymoon.

So, how to decorate wedding glasses with your own hands? Can a girl who has never been interested in any kind of needlework before, and who last held paints and ribbons in her hands in the lower grades of school, cope with this? Of course he can handle it! You may have to first conduct a trial lesson and decorate some old glass that has been sitting at home for a long time. Or you can buy one or two inexpensive ones and try to bring your ideas to life with them. After the beginning needlewoman feels more confident, she can begin decorating the festive glasses.


What will you need for work? In addition to the glasses themselves (it is better to choose the simplest ones, made of thin glass, with a long elegant stem), you will need:

  • flowers (artificial or real - however, in the latter case, your products will not please the eye with their beauty for long);
  • satin ribbons of different colors, lengths and widths (except very wide ones);
  • intricate light braid or lace;
  • paint for painting glass;
  • good glue;
  • various beads and rhinestones (preferably flat ones - they will be convenient to glue).

Ways to decorate glasses


Before you start decorating glasses, create a comfortable workspace for yourself: clear the table, lay out all the required materials.

Pay attention! Glasses decorated with ribbons and lace in white, pink, gold or silver shades look most advantageous.

Try this method:

  1. Taking the tape, wrap it around the glass (as tightly as possible) and secure with glue.
  2. On top of the first layer, apply a second one - for example, from a ribbon of the same color, but of a different shade.
  3. Then apply the third layer. It is advisable that all ribbons be of different widths.
  4. To make the composition look complete, attach a large elegant bow on one side - closer to the leg.
  5. Complete the bow with a sparkling drop of a couple of small rhinestones.

Experienced craftswomen, whose skill level allows them to conduct their own master class, add even greater solemnity and beauty to the glass by wrapping the stem with a thin satin ribbon. Looks very cute! And if you “dress up” the lower part of the leg in a skirt made of ribbons, you will even get a slightly flirty option.


You can try experimenting with lace. The translucent canvas with intricate patterns looks great in itself, and as a wedding decoration it will be simply irreplaceable: after all, it is in perfect harmony with both the fragile glass and the airy dress of the bride.

Pay attention! It is better to take wide lace - it looks more luxurious.

With ribbons and lace you can create real masterpieces that will delight all the guests of the holiday. Don't forget about rhinestones.

Pay attention! Only when decorating with rhinestones you need to observe the measure: too much will create the impression of pretentiousness and will look tacky.

A few small sparkles, on the contrary, can add sophistication and make a simple product more elegant. Thanks to rhinestones, the glasses will take on an expensive look.


Those who know how to draw are lucky: they can use their imagination to their heart's content, inventing wedding patterns, which are then carefully painted onto the glass. These could be: monograms, the first letters of the names of the bride and groom woven together, beautiful roses and even portraits of the newlyweds with a memorable inscription. You can use stencils and display two gold rings touching each other, or a pair of hearts on glasses. If you think that your idea is not good enough and you want something more interesting, look at the photos of finished products - they are presented in a large assortment on the Internet.

The finished product should look neat, as if it was purchased in a store - but that’s where the similarity with store-bought copies ends.

Pay attention! Don't forget: you are working with light materials, with transparent glass. Hands must be perfectly clean!

While creating a masterpiece, place wet wipes and cloths somewhere close.

About the nuances and practical benefits of a hobby


There is one more point that needs to be taken into account when decorating glasses.

Pay attention! It is necessary that they go well with the overall table setting.

By the way, you can decorate them in the same style as a bottle of champagne. In addition, since the glasses will definitely be used during the wedding photo shoot, they need to be made similar in style to the outfits of the newlyweds - especially the bride. They can also become “full participants” in the wedding video, so that they will remain in the memory of the newlyweds and guests for a long time.

If your first design experience turns out to be successful, then perhaps, along with entering a new life, you will acquire an unusual hobby. Friends and acquaintances will be able to contact you with requests for help in decorating the wedding table. Over time, you may be able to open your own business, which will be very useful when you go on maternity leave and start raising your first child.

In any case, decorating glasses for a wedding will give you a lot of positive emotions. Your works of art will take pride of place in your new home. Every year on your wedding day, you and your spouse can enjoy wine from your favorite glasses, remembering the wedding celebration and making plans for the future. And, even while celebrating your “golden” wedding, you will drink champagne from those very glasses while shouting “Bitter!” your children and grandchildren. Everything changes, but there are things that go with us throughout our lives - from carefree youth to gray-haired wise years.
