How to turn WINE GLASSES into FANTASY GOBLETS (easy DIY)

[@Swanstardesigns]

Hey everyone - I had great fun creating these, and I recommend you give it a go - especially since we're mostly all inside in quarantine! They would make a great gift! Don't forget to tag me with your creations, I'd love to see them.

[@Nerdforge]

Great job! :D

[@Swanstardesigns]

Thanks! And thank you for the inspiration! :-)

[@AaronRHale]

I gotta say it... SPLENDID GOLD! I love that you used the gold as a drybrush on the branch-leaf one. And the Fleur De Lis charm is such a cute addition too!

[@Swanstardesigns]

Lol, that gold paint is so beautiful.. and very aptly named SPLENDID GOLD. The fleur de lis charm was the whole inspiration for that design, and after I'd done it I really wished I'd added some charms to the tree one too! Next time!

[@hazeljanehopkins5652]

I’ve never seen this done but you made a great job and they look like proper ‘ancient’ goblets. I love the Fleur de Lis motif! Very Great Hall and quaffing vibes.

[@Swanstardesigns]

Thanks - I think the Fleur De Lis is my favourite too :-)

[@debbiechristian1697]

just found your channel. great work. i have about 100 assorted wine glasses to upcycle. thx for the inspiration!

[@Swanstardesigns]

100 glasses! Oh, that'll be fun! Good luck.

[@TheRealMythril]

Really beautiful designs!

[@Swanstardesigns]

Thanks!

[@danielasantolini37]

Great! Beautiful! But how can I put the glasses in the oven? Is it dangerous? I mean at 110 °C ...

[@Swanstardesigns]

It was fine for me. It's quite a low temp. If you're a bit worried about it I'd say try putting a wine glass in the oven before you put the design on it so if it breaks you don't lose all your hard work.

Question how do you wash it...

[@Swanstardesigns]

Hand wash I guess. I haven't used them :)

Hello, I am a librarian and I'm considering creating ;this as a craft kit for our teens that can not come to the library due to covid. How much of that brick of clay did you use to make your goblet?

[@Swanstardesigns]

I think it was less than half of the block for both glasses. It will depend on the design of course 👍

[@palreinhart1916]

@@Swanstardesigns Thank you so much. So I would estimate about 4 goblets per block of clay. You are amazing!!

[@Swanstardesigns]

@@palreinhart1916 Sounds about right! Have fun!

[@jeannieglaspy9221]

question...about how much of the 1lb block of polymer clay did your first glass take...roughly?

[@Swanstardesigns]

I think maybe a third or a quarter of the pack I used..? I’m not really sure sorry.

[@annnoyez]

Liquid sculpy you can also use to clean your surface of the clay, do put away the fingerprints...

[@Swanstardesigns]

AH I didn't realise that - great tip, thank you!

[@annnoyez]

Look at darkest raven designs and nerdforge. The last ones did also goblets...

[@annnoyez]

And then I realized that you already know nerdforge... sigh.... lol

[@AaronRHale]

And for future reference, according to some googling, using some 99% isopropyl alcohol on a brush should help get rid of fingerprints :) You could also go in with sandpaper after baking before painting, but with how intricate these designs are that probably wouldn't work as well.

[@Swanstardesigns]

Yeah, I was really under prepared and I should've researched it more before starting, lol. Especially not having baking paper, that was annoying.

te quedo buenardo, lo mejor es que como no hablas español nunca vas a saber que dice esto

[@Swanstardesigns]

Google translate exists, you know.

[@martinc404]

xd

[@annnoyez]

I like them, but can't you use a knife to scrape them from the surface? My heart cracked every time you have to take them of your mat...
