Ideas for Using Plastic Champagne Glasses
After a big wedding, party or holiday celebration, you can easily have a bunch of unused cheap plastic champagne glasses on your hands. They may seem pretty useless, but they're not. Get crafty with home decor projects, or make gifts for friends with a little ingenuity and do-it-yourself attitude.
Wall Art
Spray paint a handful of champagne glasses a color that suits your decor, like matte black, silver glitter, bright pink or transparent green. Dot hot glue carefully on the outsides of the bases and rims, and make a pyramid, circle or irregular abstract art, to create a wall art piece by gluing the glasses together at the edges. You can also glue them onto a shelf or inside a frame for more support and protection; after all, they consist of thin plastic.
Candles
If the plastic champagne glasses are high quality, you'll have a cute gift for New Year's, an engagement or any celebratory occasion. Pick up a candle-making kit, either with regular wax or gel candle materials, and fill the glasses with glittery or bubbly candles. When the candles are set and cooled, tie matching ribbons around the stems or decorate with stick-on jewels or words. Note that this doesn't work quite as well with inexpensive kind of plastic glass because they may break when you pour the hot wax into them.
Party Decor
Leftover plastic champagne glasses fit several elegant themes for your next party. A princess theme, an Old Hollywood or Oscars theme, a 1920s party or a fantasy party can be great places to reuse champagne glasses with a little added creativity. Paint them with translucent paint or glue, rim them in gold or silver glitter or use adhesive rhinestones, feathers and pom-poms for fun decorating options.
Lights
Make a DIY room decoration by painting a string of fairy or Christmas lights to match the room, and then use the plastic champagne glasses as light accessories. Simply tape the base of each glass over each tiny light. If the glasses don't have hollow stems, you can invert the cups and use clear tape or hot glue to affix the light inside the glass.
