DIY Gold Dipped Glassware

Image
by  Erica  in  D.I.Y. I haven’t stopped thinking about Front‘s gold dipped glassware set ever since it circulated through the blogosphere last holiday season. So after recently spotting a tutorial on how to DIY gold dipped stemware, I was inspired to create my own version of these luxurious golden vessels. And of course, just in time for that New Year’s Eve party I’ll be hosting this year!  You’ll need: non-toxic gold spray paint (I recommend Krylon) champagne flutes or wine glasses painters tape plastic or ziplock bag     Rip off a 6 inch piece of tape. Center the tape over the base of the glassware, rubbing the bottom         edge against the glass. Pull the sides up at a slight angle. As long as the bottom edge     is taped smoothly, it’s alright if the top edge of the tape ripples or folds.    Bring one side of the tape across the middle of the glass. Although the spray paint I used is non- ...

DIY Marbled Glassware

When graphic designer and artist Joanna Bean Martin shared with us her technique for marbling the bottoms of glassware with nail polish, we couldn’t wait to try it ourselves. Who knew it would be such an easy way to add color and pattern to your next tablescape or party? Remember, the brighter and bolder colors you use, the more the glasses will radiate and glow.

Take a toothpick and pull out the polish to create a       swirly pattern, s...

DIY Satsuma Candle

Image
by  Erica  in  D.I.Y. A friend of mine DIYed her own candles, made from the peels of Satsuma oranges, for a recent dinner party. I was so excited by this simple yet clever idea, I had to share the tutorial on HonestlyWTF. My only regret is not discovering this sooner when Satsumas were at their absolute peak in December. Hopefully, you’ll still be able to snatch up a few at your local grocery store or farmer’s market and impress your guests at your next dinner party!     You’ll need: Satsuma oranges with stems attached olive or vegetable oil a serrated knife a spoon matches     The stem side of the Satsuma will be the bottom and base of the candle. Lightly score a ring around     the top 1/3 portion of the orange. Peel off the top.    Because Satsumas are known for their loosely attached peels, the orange should easily be removed.    Gently separate the orange from of the peel with the help of a spo...
