Hosting guests for the holidays? These glitter martini glasses can be made in just an hour, and they’ll be ready to use the next day. Cheers to that!

  1. PREPARE: Always work in a well-ventilated area and cover your surroundings with a drop cloth to protect them from overspray. Clean the glasses thoroughly with a lint-free cloth and glass cleaner. Then, create your design on the outside of the glass with thin masking tape. Use painter's tape and paper to cover the inside of the glass to protect it from overspray.
  2. PAINT: Shake your can of Rust-Oleum Glitter spray paint in the color of your choice for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Hold the can 10-12" away from the glass and spray in a steady, back-and-forth motion. Spray two or more light coats a few minutes apart, and then let the glitter paint dry for 20 minutes.
  3. SEAL: Next, you’ll want to seal the glitter so it so it doesn’t rub off when you hold the glasses. To seal the glitter, shake your can of Rust-Oleum Glitter Clear Sealer for one minute after the mixing ball begins to rattle. Using the same spraying technique, spray two or more light coats of the sealer over the glitter, and then set the glass aside to dry completely for 24 hours.
  4. FINISH: Once the glasses have dried completely, they are ready for use. To clean, do not put the glasses in the dishwasher. Instead, wash them by hand with warm water and dish soap. Avoid using an abrasive sponge on the outside of the glass.
