Does your kitchen or bar area need a little extra splash of color? (I mean really, whose doesn’t?) Inspired by similar glasses from Anthropologie, Zandi at Radical Possibility used plain ol’ acrylic paint to give some basic tumblers a cheerful makeover. The trick to this project is sealing the design with an acrylic paint sealant, making the designs durable enough for daily use. (Though I’m not sure I would trust them to the dishwasher!) [how to make confetti tumblers]
Project estimate:
- Tumblers, $1 and up
- Paint, on hand or $1 and up
- Acrylic sealer, on hand or about $3 and up
Total: $1 and up

Hmmm, I don’t think I would trust the sealant, however, if the glasses were made well enough, perhaps they could get the Sharpie-then-pop-in-the-oven-to-cure treatment???
What a GREAT way to customize for the holidays! I love these tumblers. But what they realy need is a snort of Johnny Walker Black! That would make them PERFECT.

Oh my gosh…too cute! I can’t wait to try a few and add them to one of my boring shelves. :)
Thanks!

Ok, maybe I am missing something. How do you make these? Maybe a little step by step? Do you use paint for the confetti?
