Stylish and Sophisticated: Made of Glass
When it comes to making things with your hands, using something like glass might not be the first thing that comes to mind. There are many things you can do with glass, drinking glasses, mason jars, and other glassware, however, that don’t put your hands at risk of getting cut (as long as you’re careful not to drop fragile items on hard surfaces) !
look at these 15 super fun and stylish glass projects Transform the original from the clear and fragile to the beautiful.

Okay, we know St. Patrick’s Day is actually just over, but this style of mason jar table decoration is just one example of how creative you can be. Remodelando la Casa suggests creating tablescapes that include glass bottles by decorating them with paper, ribbon, printed labels and paint to bring some character to your table when you’re hosting a party. You can make them look whatever you want!

Do you really love the way your candles glow when you put them on your dining table, but are you looking for a new and unique way to display them, not just in a regular candle holder? Then grab some useless wine glasses and put the candles in! Follow the tutorial on Lana Red Studio to create a patterned shade out of decorative paper so that when you’re enjoying dinner with your guests, the glasses look like glowing lights running down the center.

Maybe you have some glasses that you don’t use now because they’re generic and you want to rock them permanently so they’re more fun on the table? Then colored polished marble might be the technique that allows you to have the most fun while upgrading your glassware simply and beautifully! Martha Stewart will guide you through the process of creating lovely swirling color patterns.

A drinking glass isn’t the only thing you can make out of a piece of glass! Many people sell recycled glass beads for DIY jewelry making, so you can create stunning pieces like this rustic boho chic leather wrap bracelet. The Philosopher’s Wife shows you the technique of stringing beads on thicker leather in this way.

Does your family eat delicious jams and other glass jar-packaged stuff at a frantic rate, leaving you with a bunch of empty jars that look too good to get rid of? Then make it with them! There’s an almost limitless number of things you can make out of empty glass mason jars, but given our current obsession with pastel shades, we absolutely love this beautiful collection of chalkboard storage jars from Something Turquoise.

Have you always loved the look of fancy glasses with gold leaf detailing when you use them in a restaurant? Did you know that with the right paint and a steady hand, you can make the same glasses at home, but control what kind of fun patterns you create? See how it’s done on Sweet Little Sparrow.
7. Dipped copper vase

Unconventional shaped glasses are fun to have in your cupboard, but if you find they’re not being used often, why not repurpose them instead of throwing them away? Homey Oh My recommends painting them a lovely copper chrome finish, arranging them the way you like them on a length of matching painted particleboard, and gluing them in place. Use this storage for your desk and office supplies or makeup brushes!
8. Gold Dot Champagne Glasses

Maybe you have a nice set of crystal clear champagne flutes, but you can’t help but feel like they could complement the rest of your formal tabletop with a little extra style? We feel the same way about ours lately, but even in our decor we want to keep things really subtle. That’s why we love this cute golden polka dot tutorial from List Inspired!
9. Heart-etched wine glass

If you’ve never done glass etching before, it may seem like a daunting technique to learn because the finish is so beautiful, but it’s actually a lot easier than you might think! If you’re concerned, start with simple shapes rather than complex fonts or very complex designs. We love this simple heart design from Love Maegan, which gives your glassware friendly style and detail without being too rigid.
10. Stenciled glass bottle holder mark
View in gallery
Maybe you like the foggy glass effect that etching techniques leave on the glass, but you’d rather use a negative image and use color instead of just a raised white image? Then try stencil printing with glass-friendly paint! We love these glass serving bottles with large event table numbers printed on them. See how they are made.
11. Frost Stamped Martini Glass

Maybe you love the glass frosting technique and aesthetic, but the heart doesn’t really fit your kitchen’s current decorating scheme, and you think you might be ready for a more challenging design? Then check out these awesome dotted circles from Sand & Sisal! They are whimsical and perfect for any season.
12. Blackboard Drinking Can

Remember those glass jars we talked about earlier? Well, this offbeat idea from a modern Hawaiian wedding still uses chalkboard paint like our other suggestions, but they stick with classic black instead of muted colors. They also put the paint on the outside so the jar can be used to drink without worrying about ingesting anything. Use chalkboard hearts to mark jars with guests’ names at events!
13. Stained Glass Desk Organizer
View in gallery
Freutcake has a great idea for old glasses of all shapes and sizes, but it’s not drinking from them. Instead, give them a shiny new coat of paint, then line and stick them to matching bases in an uneven, careless fashion. The finished product is perfect for storing various items in any room you like.
14. Wood and Glass Box Night Light
View in gallery
Do you remember throughout the 1990s when many houses had square gridded glass inserts in their walls? We’ve lived in more than one house with a wall like this, and we’ve always thought these glass shards were perfect for crafting. Looks like I love creating consent! In case you happen to have one lying around, here’s a tutorial that will help you turn it into a cute night light or side light with just a little crafting.
15. Pretty Paint Dot Glasses

Do you like the paint accent looks you’ve seen on the list so far, but think you might like them more if they were more “messy and creative” and colorful rather than more “subtle glamour”? Then check out this bright, cheerful colorful fingerprint look from Popsugar! We’re pretty sure that no matter which color combination you choose, they’ll look amazing and fun.
