Love Bug Wineglass DIY
This love bug wine glass was made with hearts for Valentine’s Day. Simply make the circles instead of hearts, and you can use this sweet wine glass decoration as spring or summer decor! They can go just about anywhere… round out your centerpiece (or make them the focus of your centerpiece), on a mantel, large window ledge, side table, etc. These love bug glasses can be customized for a holiday (such as Valentine’s Day), a season (such as spring or summer decor), or out year-round.

I simply adore painted wine glass decor, as evidenced by the Turkey Wine Glass DIY, DIY Wine Glass Snowman, DIY Wine Glass Witch and the DIY Pineapple Candle Holder crafts I have shared in the past. You may also want to consider making these Beach Wineglasses or Easter Egg Wineglass decor or perhaps these Yellow Chickies! I have even more painted wineglasses on my crafts page I have a LOT of painted wineglass ideas!
The truth is, these painted wine glass crafts are simple to make, fun, and are finished in no time flat. Truly just about any adult can make them.
So, if you are looking for a fun Valentine’s Day or Spring/Summer craft to make, give these cuties a try! You can make one, three, or one for everyone at your table!
