    Hi Guys,
    probably a stupid question but how are people writing so perfectly on the wine glasses they decorate? i'm assuming everyone is not a master of calligraphy...
    do you use stickers/ stencils?
    currently I am using a glass pen but of course- its not very professional looking
    any tips would be great :)
    thanks!

    One trick is to print on paper the words/pattern you like in the font you prefer in the right scale, then put the paper inside the glass with the writing facing out, that way you can trace the pattern on the outside of the glass.

    Are they like those "plasticky" stained "glass" stickers? I think I did, ages ago, but the results weren't as good as what I had in my head (it's like thinking how a somersault looks like and trying to actually do one! :)).
