Idea For Weddings.

When organizing a wedding, there is often a problem what to buy as souvenirs for guests. And why not make inexpensive and interesting souvenirs with your own hands?

You took one of the most important decisions in life - to create a new family. After filing the application in the registry office begins a rather difficult period, if you decided to organize everything yourself. You need to choose a bride dress, groom costume, order a restaurant, cars, photo and video, and much, much more.

In our country weddings are usually celebrated in a restaurant, a toast or presenter is invited. For the entertainment of the guests, it is customary to arrange competitions, and the winners in the competitions, as a rule, are awarded prizes. Usually inexpensive souvenirs are bought, but before the wedding do not want to think about it. And if the budget is limited, and the guests are many, it turns into a problem. Of course, I do not want my relatives and friends any cheap Chinese trinkets. I was once at a wedding, where as a prizes were handed a one-color men's T - shirt size XXXL. Since no one in this family has such a size, they were taken to the dacha - it might come in handy. But you want a small gift not to be thrown out or stuck somewhere far away, but that it serves as a reminder of the holiday or be of use.

Worried before his wedding, having traveled a bunch of shops, I had an idea. Since I have been fond of painting glass for a long time, I decided that it would be time for the hobby to benefit. I bought glass glasses (you can glasses, glasses, mugs - it depends on your desire and capabilities), each wrote a wedding date, painted rings, hearts, etc. I used paint-contours on the glass of GAMMA and TAIR firms, they can be bought in almost any art shop for a small price. Special skills for the use of such paints are not required, the main thing is to carefully follow the instructions on the package. Usually, first the surface is degreased (enough to wipe with cotton wool and alcohol), and then paint is applied. Contoured paints are convenient because they are squeezed out of the tube directly onto the glass, accordingly, you do not need to buy additional brushes. After the paints have dried, to fix the result, you can bake the products in the oven at a temperature of 180 degrees or cover with acrylic lacquer. In most cases, the paints are held without additional treatment, unless they are subjected to strong mechanical stress.

It turned out quite decent souvenirs for little money. And in the house never a glass or a glass will not be superfluous. The guests liked the idea, and my friend, after getting married one year after me, brought me a sack of dishes for coloring before the wedding. Her guests were also pleased with such gifts.

Since all the souvenirs, of course, were distributed to the guests, I only had one glass from my friend's wedding, the photo can be viewed here
