It’s no secret that I love gold, and you know I could use a good cocktail on a Wednesday. I made these little gold confetti tumblers after seeing so many similar versions in the market. These aren’t too intense, but are pretty easy and are oh-so-cute!
Fill them up with a little pomegranate juice, some Zonin prosecco, and basil and you’ve got yourself a perfect mid-week treat.
ONE tape off the bottom of a glass with blue painters tape and stick some dots onto the bottom, more concentrated at the top and less concentrated toward the bottom. TWO cover the top of the glass with a sandwich bag and tape it down on the same tapeline as before. THREE spray paint the bottom of the glass with a bright gold spray paint. FOUR using a gold leaf pen, carry the dot motif up onto the top of the glass. More concentrated at the bottom and sparse toward the top.
I think they’re so fun and sure do look festive for spring, right? Grab just a few ingredients, have a cocktail and happy hump day!
So, as a disclaimer, I am using spray paint on food and beverage item which isn’t recommended for food contact. I felt like being on the outside of the glass I was comfortable with that, but if you’re not, please use your discretion.

Super cute. Saw something similar with wine glasses at West Elm.
These are so cute! Such a simple way to make a cocktail party look fancy
This looks so awesome!
Thanks, Ashley!
Ahhhh, great DIY Erin! They look SO bright and springy with the pink drink, too!
Thanks, Rebecca! I made that drink just to have something pink to put into the glass, then it was REALLY good! My husband asked if we could make more!
Wow!! You should figure out some way to mass-produce these and sell them. They are GORGEOUS!!! I would buy them oh-so-fast!! Thanks for teaching us all how to make them.
I might just have to do that
Love these! Must make a few…will go perfectly with my dessert plates!
Erin, I love the idea and the styling. Well, done friend!
Thanks, Katie!
These are so pretty! LOVE!
So pretty, Erin! I need to make me a set of these!
Kelly – I can only imagine how awesome your variation would look!!
these are INCREDIBLE!!
Gorgeous!! This would even be great on a floral vase or candle holder. Thanks for sharing
Amazing. Martha should watch her back. Or name you the heiress of her empire. Seriously.
I’ll take heiress… although I think he daughter might be up for that position!
Oh this is too good. Too good! I’m so incapable when it comes to DIY, and then I see these things and I’m like… yeah I could never come up with that! Ha.
WOW! These are great! Im going to have to make some! Love it!
I love how this would mimic the bubbles in my cocktail! Love this one. Can’t wait to try!
that’s what I was thinking! When I conceptualized this post (back in dec), I kept calling it ‘bubbles glasses’ in my editorial calendar! Great minds…
These are amazing. I am obsessed!
These are gorgeous!! Now I gotta make some.
These would make such cute gifts!
sooo pretty! Great pictures
Now I’m thirsty
So adorable! What a great idea. Have you tried the spray paint through the dishwasher yet?
Hi Kelly –
I just hand washed lightly. I do not think the paint would make it through the dishwasher kind of like a lot of those hand painted wine glasses and such!
Gorgeous glasses – great for parties! Love the rustic accent…Just Fab!
What a cute idea-and so simple! I will be trying this soon

Love these! So sweet! I’ve got to make some of these asap! Thanks for the tutorial!
These tumblers are gorgeous. Can’t wait to get updates for some more wonderful ideas. Thanks
Wonderful idea!!!!
Please send me updates via my e-mail address; I couldn’t find a way to do it on your site. Thanks
Hey Erin. I did the same DIY January, but I found that the spray paint easily chipped off so I recommended spraying a lacquer overtop to keep it in place. Is your spray paint staying on okay? I also used Krylon.
I should have mentioned, but whenever I spray paint anything, I do multiple (3) very thin, light coats to reduce chipping!
These have been great so far, but I’ve only used them once.
SO CUTE!!!! Love them!
I am OBSESSED with these!!!! I can’t wait to try this out!
Such an amazing idea! Thank you so much for sharing!
I will definitely try it!
Very pretty and festive.
This is awesomeness!
these are amazing!! srsly the best DIY ive seen in awhile! kindve obsessed
& Pretty Things
I can’t wait to try these out! They are so beautiful!
This is an incredible idea. The same concept would work really well on a taller vase, that way you wouldn’t have to worry about the potential health damage via spray paint (although, I’m with you… if it’s just on the outside, I’ll probably still drink from it!)
I love gold as well and these are soo cute! Great idea
Love your blog… those tumblers are so cute!
love this idea- so cute. will be trying this out asap!
I looove this!
wow amazing tutorial! these are so pretty!
Thank you!
Hey love!
Such a cute DIY. Did you have any trouble with washing the glasses? I’m afraid it might chip while being wash? Any suggestions! Thanks in advance!
