DIY Dotted Glass Cups

Hello! Today we're making DIY decorated glass cups! You will need:

• glass cups
• paint in any color
• pencil with eraser
• optional: dishwasher-safe mod podge

First, use the eraser of the pencil to stamp dots of paint onto the glass. 

Let dry, and add 3-4 more layers onto the cups. 

Once everything is dry, an optional step is to add a layer of dishwasher-safe mod podge to make the glass cups dishwasher safe. After that, you're done! This is how mine turned out:

This DIY was super fun to make. It's pretty time-consuming because of the drying time, but it's definitely worth it. It's very simple to make, and I like how I had all of the materials at home. I hope you try this out sometime!
