Barely DIY / Copper Leaf Polka Dot Glasses

December 4, 2013

milk glass polka dots This weekend, I’m hosting a small dinner party to celebrate my 30th last week. I thought the water glasses needed a little sprucing, so I spent ten minutes adding liquid copper leaf polka dots to them. The DIY part of them was beyond simple, with no need for even a paintbrush. Take a q-tip (or cotton bud as they’re called here), dip it in liquid copper leaf, and dot on randomly. They’re imperfect but a little jazzy.

And they’ll be just the trick for leaving Santa a little milk and cookies treat on Christmas Eve in just three short weeks!
