It is actually pretty easy. I just printed a bunch of pics that I found in clip art or on the internet and taped them to the inside of the glass. I tried to keep things simple so there wasn't a lot of detail to mess up. Then I just worked down the rows and made sure where I was going to paint next there wasn't one still wet. The paint dries quick enough that after you get a few done you can rub across it and it won't smear.

Wow they look amazing! That is such a good idea about taping the clipart to the inside. I was thinking that your glasses were so cute and wanted to steal the idea but I was sad because I am not very good at drawing but I think I may be able to do it if I copy over a picture....thanks!!!

I used two pieces of elastic wiring (it wasn't actually wire, but I don't know what else to call it, it was stretchy stuff). Then I used a size 7 seed bead in two colors. I just started beading and created my pattern. I made the "square" teal color pattern by placing each of the sets of thread in one direction and the other through the opposite direction then pulled tight. Then I put one bead on each set of threads and then repeated the first part by threading in opposite directions. I have to make one more pair, so I will take pictures as I go to give you a better idea. I'm sure this makes no sense at all!

I'm lazy. I can't somewhat draw, but this was way easier. Just remember to keep the patterns simple or else you will get lost and will have to draw in your own details.

WOW this stuff is great! I'm very jealous of all you crafty women out there because the things at your wedding will be so unique... maybe I will have to start tapping into my crafty side (if I have one! lol).

 

Your bridesmaids are going to love these!

And I also think it's super cute that you have "bride" stuff for yourself =)

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
