Helpful advice: sticking small parts, apply glue with a needle or a toothpick.

Ribbons

There are many options for decorating a glass with ribbons. Try to make one of them yourself. For example, attach an elegant bow to a leg or wrap a ribbon around it with a neat spiral (as in the last photo lesson).

Flowers from satin ribbons will look interesting. To do this yourself, understand the technique of completing a task by learning a simple video tutorial.

Flowers

Beautiful artificial flowers, collected in a fantasy composition, are perfect for decorating a glass. It’s easy to do it yourself. Just tighten them together, glue to the glass. The absolute identity of the glasses is not the main thing, but their elements must be harmoniously combined with each other.

Natural flowers - difficult material for creativity. The time-consuming process of preparing them requires patience, but the result will justify the effort spent. To better understand, use this master class: do-it-yourself wedding glasses for preparing and fixing fresh flowers:

1. Cut each selected flower briefly, lower it into water, hold there for several hours. Plants must absorb enough moisture..
2. Stems of such large flowers as roses, lilies, shorten as much as possible.
3. Attach a special teip tape to the glass, attach a cotton swab dipped in water to the place of the cut of the stem, wrap it with thin wire and place it under the tape. This process is called taping..
4. Using pebbles, beads, nets, hide sloppy areas of work and wait until the glue hardens..
5. Spray the flowers, hide the finished glasses under the bag, refrigerate until the celebration, so that the plants retain their shape and beauty.

Note: fresh flowers should be the same as those used in the bride’s bouquet and in the groom’s boutonniere.

Flowers for decoration can not only be bought or cut, but also made independently. A small workshop of do-it-yourself wedding glasses using flowers made of polymer clay (cold porcelain) can be found in the video guide:

Some types of polymer clay require heat treatment. So that the clay in the oven does not lose color, boil it in water for about 5 minutes. White plaque formed during cooking is well cleaned with sunflower oil.
