Hello friends. I hope you’ve been well. It’s mid December already and a few weeks ago, I had my girl friends over for a little paint party.
This is the second year I’ve held it and I’ll share more later but today I wanted to show you how I made these adorable Martini Glass Ornaments.
It really was so easy but they look real and my friends loved them! I first saw similar from West Elm and thought I could replicate it them.
I used this resin set from Michaels and I just followed the instructions on the package.
You can buy tint for resin but I used food dye to tint the resin and it worked perfectly.
THIS set is a good starting point as it comes with the tint and other useful materials for resin. HERE is another great set.
For the coffee beans and olives I just used polymer clay and baked them in the oven according to the package. They look so real don’t they?
The foam on the espresso martini is a mixture of resin and flour. I looked that up on google and it worked out great!
I allowed the brown resin to set for a couple of hours prior to pouring the ‘foam’. I then allowed the ‘foam’ to set for a bit before I placed the
little beans. I did this so each layer would sit on top. Otherwise, they would sink to the bottom.
I made the hole by heating up a small nail with pliers over my stove stop and carefully piercing the hole. Please be careful. I then took a little ring and
thread it through.
My thought was to give each of my friends one of these ornaments and a mini bottle of either Khalua or Vodka but I ended up giving each a small
bottle of champagne.
I Can’t wait to share with you rest of the party. Thank you so much for stopping by today.

Much love,
Lucy
