Pop Fizz Clink Repeat: DIY Champagne Flutes

Its FriYAY, time for a restorative glass of champagne!

We received these cute confetti glasses a few months back and take them out any time we pop open a bottle of bubbly. The only down side of these glasses is that we only have two! So we decided to make similarly festive flutes to go along with them whenever we have gatherings. Its super easy to make your own and we suggest you run out and get the supplies (only two things!) you need for this fun and glitzy craft! Once you make these babies, you will be inviting everyone over for a restorative glass of champagne!

P.S. We got our favorite motto from our only reality tv guilty pleasure, Made In Chelsea. Mark Frances is our spirit animal. :)

Materials:

Champagne flutes (we purchased ours at Bevmo)

Gold glass paint marker (available at most craft stores, here is the one we used)

Steps:

1. Clean flute surfaces with glass cleaner.
2. Shake glass paint marker well.
3. Write on flutes: "Pop", "Fizz", "Clink", "Repeat".
4. Allow glasses to dry in a ventilated area for 8 hours.
5. Once dry, bake in oven at 375° F for 40 minutes in non-preheated oven.
6. Let flutes cool in open oven.
7. You are now ready for a restorative glass of champagne! 

Note: glasses are dishwasher safe.

Pony Party: DIY Cocktail Stirrers

We like to make any occasion a celebration and the easiest way to achieve that is to add a bit of whimsy and sparkle! We have loved horses since we can remember and pony parties have always been a go-to party theme. These little cocktail stirrers add a bit of fun to any cocktail party big or small, and are super easy to make! You can switch it up and use any plastic toy to top these stirrers. Next on our list to make are cats, dogs, and dinos! Yay!

Materials:

Cocktail stirrers (Amazon)

Plastic horse toys (Amazon)

Gold spray paint

E6000 (or any permanent craft glue)

Drill with drill bit that is slightly larger than the diameter of the cocktail stirrers (this beaut was provide by our Dad haha)

Newspaper

Steps:

1. Gather all materials together and cover workspace with newspaper. It is best to do most of this DIY outside.

2. Take drill and drill holes about 1/8 inch deep in the center bottom of the horses bellies. Test to make sure the holes are large enough to insert the drink stirrers.

3. Spray one side of the horses at a time with spray paint; making sure the entire surface is covered. You will probably have to do two coats. Allow to dry a few minutes between coats. (Make sure you do this either outside or in a well ventilated room)

4. Once the horses are painted and dried, apply a small amount of adhesive into the drilled holes and insert the drink stirrers.

5. Allow to dry a few hours before use.

Cheers! 

At the End of Our Rainbow: DIY Glitter Champagne Bottles & Printable!

With Saint Patricks Day looming, it got us thinking about reaching the end of a rainbow. What would we find? As kids, we would have wished for unicorns, magic wands, and Hogwarts letters. Although we're still waiting for our Hogwarts letters (we're convinced that our owls are just lost), we also wouldn't mind finding some of these bottles of bubbly! We will be celebrating the Luck O' the Irish with these glittery treasures.

Here's how to make your own:

Glitter

Bottles of your favorite bubbly (we used mini bottles, but any bottle will work)

String

Print outs of our printable

Tin foil

1. Cover work surface with newspaper (we did this DIY outside)

2. Cover neck of bottles with foil, to prevent adhesive and glitter sticking to it. 

3. Spray bottles evenly with adhesive. (make sure to pop ay bubbles that may appear)

4. Sprinkle glitter on bottle until covered, shake off excess.

5. Let bottles dry.

6. While bottles dry, print and cut tags. Punch holes and thread string through the tag.
