Wine Glasses,I thought it would be something fun to do to my wine glasses. I also thought if done right it could look elegant. I know you would have to hand wash them. Would the crystals really stay on? Is there a way to do it so when you look inside the glass you dont see glue and nastyness? Just a thought would like some opinions please

How far up the glass would you plan on attaching the crystals? If you get too close to the rim of the glass, it will become awkward and unpleasant from which to drink. I cannot imagine the crystals would feel pleasant on the lip. Moreover, if the lower lip were to rest upon the crystals it would create a dribble problem because the lower lip would be unable to rest flat against the glass. Wine would channel itself between the crystals, down off the chin, and ultimately onto ones chest. Perhaps drinking the dribble off of the others chest might prove to be enjoyable.
If you only plan on using the glass for decorative purposes, then I would fill the glass with something to mitigate the visible glue issue.
Also, "If done right" is the operative term. While attaching the crystals will prove challenging, attaching them in a attractive manner will prove the biggest challenge and very time consuming.
But, the overcoming these challenges will make your efforts all the more rewarding.

cute- but its a trend thats soooo over! maybe using an inexpensive glass and doing it just for a party or event -otherwise skip it!
