Summer is coming and it’s high time to add some color to your bar or bar cart. Grab your usual bar ware (or buy something new) and get some bright spray paints. This tutorial will tell you how to make super colorful gradient bar ware – everything is spray painted here!

I love this stylish bar ware set because gold is timeless! The whole set is decorated with permanent gold vinyl: the bottle is done with a stripe and the glasses are decorated with some stars here and there. Add gold straws for cocktails and voila – your bar received a stylish and refined look.

Personalize the glasses to make your bar more chic, all you need is some glasses, glass-etching cream and vinyl stencils. You’ll be able to give them as gifts, too, if you want. Choose not only names but also nicknames or some other ideas that you like, for example, your sweetheart names. Enjoy!

A pitcher can be part of your bar, too, especially if you love refreshing drinks and juices. You can make a colorful and fun pitcher using colorful acrylic paints. Splatter the paints chaotically on the pitcher and make a bold item for the bar. Spruce up the bar and enjoy!

Here’s another craft for etching, the carafes are done with etched stripes, and to recreate even stripes, use masking tape. The craft is very simple and cool, and your simple glass carafes will be much more stylish and chic with this decor. You may also add the same look to the glasses to make them more matching.
