    I belong to a book club that my husband affectionately refers to as “the wine of the month club that sometimes reads books.” While we do actually read books our monthly meetings are a lot more about friendship and fun than literary masterpieces.

    I’m perfectly okay with that!! Everyone needs to relax with friends once in a while.

    The Pinterest Party

    Do you need a little girlfriend time? I’m currently obsessed with the idea of a Pinterest craft party where friends gather for an evening of craft projects found on (you guessed it) –> Pinterest.

    That party theme has my name written all over it.

    • I love crafts
    • I love spending time with friends
    • I love hosting parties

    Sharpie Wine Tray and Glass Set

    Some of my friends are a little reluctant to get involved in a craft party because of their lack of artistic ability. To make the evening a total success I’ll be gathering them for a Sharpie Crafts Party where we make this fun wine tray and glasses set.

    I love this project because:

    • It is simple to make, it requires ZERO artistic skill. EVERYONE can do it!
    • The supplies are affordable; the tray with four wine glasses costs about $20.
    • Oil-based Sharpie paint pens dry lickety-split so you can have the whole project completed in about 30 minutes!

    Supplies

    • Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Markers (fine tip)
    • Wooden Tray (at least 10 x 10), check out these options: 10×12 Tray or 11×14 Tray
    • Plexiglass, 10 x 14 sheet
    • Melamine Stemless Wine Glasses
    • Printable PDF pattern

    Total cost = approx $22.00 (and the paint pen will still have lots craft power left)

    Directions

    1. Print out the PDF pattern and pick a design. (Note: the patterns are backward, this is necessary)

    1. Score the Plexiglas along the line several times use your ruler as a guide. (Note: Push lightly on the knife; you are trying to make a groove not cut all the way through the Plexiglas.) Turn the Plexiglas over and bend upward near the score line, the Plexiglas with snap along the score line.
    • Check to make sure the Plexiglas fits snugly in the tray, do not force it in. Cut a bit more off if necessary. (Note: If you have to make a tiny cut, score the Plexiglas several times and then use a pair of pliars to “nip” off tiny pieces of the edge)

    1. Prepare your Sharpie oil-based paint markers according to package directions. (Open, shake, get paint flowing). Carefully trace the design onto the Plexiglas. (Note: if you have never used Sharpie oil-based paint markers you should practice a few strokes on a piece of cardboard before starting.) Allow the paint to dry for about 10 minutes, carefully check from the front side to see if any areas need touch up paint.
