The viral juice glasses from Anthropologie have been selling out nonstop. I loved the look but not the price or the struggle to find them, so I made my own DIY budget friendly dupe juice glasses using Dollar Tree juice glasses and colored glue sticks. They look adorable, they cost only a few dollars, and the process is simple and fun. These make perfect gifts for any occasion.

How To Make DIY Budget Friendly Dupe Juice Glasses

1. Wash and dry your juice glasses completely so the surface is clean and ready for crafting.
2. Heat your glue gun and insert a colored glue stick. Allow it to fully melt. Colored or glitter glue sticks create a bright and translucent effect that looks similar to the viral glasses.
3. If you want a guide, tape a printed design on the inside of the glass. This gives you a clear pattern to trace with the glue from the outside. Hearts, words, stars, or repeating shapes all work well and make the process much easier.
4. Start applying the glue to the outside of the glass. You can make stripes, hearts, drips, swirls, abstract lines, or anything that fits your style. Rotate the glass as you go to keep the design even.
5. Let the glue cool and harden. This takes about one minute.
6. Check your design. If you do not love it, let the glue fully cool and then peel it off. The glass will be clean again and you can start over. This project is very forgiving, which makes it great for beginners.
7. Optional. Add a light layer of glass safe sealant once the glue is fully cooled if you want extra protection.

Care Instructions

• Hand washing is recommended.
• Avoid the dishwasher because high heat and strong detergents can break down the glue design.
• Do not soak your glasses for long periods of time.

FAQ

What if I mess up the design?

If you make a mistake, simply let the glue cool and peel it off. You can redo your design as many times as you want.

Are these safe to drink from?

Yes. The glue is on the outside of the glass, so the drinking surface stays clean. These are best for cold drinks such as juice, iced coffee, mocktails, or sparkling water.

Can I seal the design?

Yes. A thin coat of glass safe sealant can help protect your pattern, but it is optional.

Can I switch colors?

Yes. You can switch glue sticks and layer different colors for a fun multicolor effect.
