15 DIY Painted Wine Glass Ideas in 2024
For a relaxing evening on the veranda, you can just grab an ordinary, boring wine glass to sip from as the light sinks and night descends.
But if you’re planning to have guests over for wine, host a dinner party or wedding shower, or generally just enjoy some fun, you might want to spice things up a bit.
Try painting some tumblers and stemware for your next party using any of these fun tutorials that anybody can do, pretty much, even the kids.

Bottom of the Bowl Personalized Tumblers
If you’re getting ready to host a special event for a special couple or designated guest of honor, you’ll love this simple, elegant DIY project. It’s sort of a “surprise!” project for drinkers when they get to the bottom of the bowl.

Something For Everybody
One of the best things about this list of the many types of hand-painted wine glasses is that you don’t have to just pick one. A few are more time-consuming – we’re looking at you poured paint! – but many require the same basic materials and methods to create the various beautiful designs.
So, if you’re into getting uber creative and making distinctly unique gifts for all of your recipients, you can pick two, three, four, or even a dozen of the designs and make all those glasses in just a couple of days.
This is especially awesome if you love hosting paint parties. Let the guests choose their design.
