• Dark green acrylic paint
• Painters tape
• Paint brush
• Black paint pen

Lemon Champagne Glasses

INSTRUCTIONS:

Watermelon Wine Glasses

1. Apply the painters tape around the center of the glass, making sure it is on tightly to achieve clean lines.
2. Apply the dark green paint with a paint brush, allow to dry.
3. Apply another layer of the dark green paint and then immediately, using the same paint brush, apply some of the lighter paint making sure not to blend too much. This will create the look like lines like a real watermelon.
4. Allow to dry, then remove the painter's tape.
5. Use the black paint pen to draw "seeds" onto the glass as desired.
6. Tip: don't draw the seeds too close to the top of the glass where you would drink to avoid any paint chipping or wearing away.

Lemon Champagne Glasses

1. Apply a small amount of glue onto the bottom of the glass and attach the yarn, holding it until it dries and stays on its own.
2. Apply more glue and wrap the yarn tightly around the glass about half way up.
3. Cut the end of the yarn and secure with more glue and make sure to only apply glue where the yarn will be since the super glue could leave marks on the glass.
4. Use the white paint pen to draw "seeds" on the glass as desired.
5. Tip: don't draw the seeds too close to the top of the glass where you would drink to avoid any paint chipping or wearing away.
