Soooo while on vacation, Mr. S and I discovered the world's coolest stemware; the "Rednek" Wine Glass. Or, as I like to call it, the Redneck Libation Dispensing Device. It's like a fancy mason jar. I am for real, but it is so silly, it deserved an April 1 posting! This is one of the glasses we bought:
The first step? Sanding. We sanded for just a couple seconds with 100 grade sandpaper on both the bottom of the jar and the top of the candlestick. This way, the glue will sink into the scratches and form a stronger bond.
Then, mix and apply the epoxy.
Our epoxy was quick-setting, so we had to apply it fast, just on the tip of the candlestick.
Then flip it upside-down and center it on the bottom of the jar.
Then, leave the glasses as-is to dry. Ours set up in 15 minutes, and were totally dry after an hour.
Then I dressed them up a little bit for gift-giving. What a great use for my scrap fabrics! I was also having trouble figuring out what to do with my poofy ball trim. Add a tag, and some care instructions, and it's fit for a present! Well, a silly present, but seriously, we drink out of ours all the time!
And a hint at what has been going on in my living room (more coming soon!):

Thank you for the directions. Just saw the glasses at a store. My mom is going to get a set for her birthday (homemade set)!
Suhweet! And people LOVE these as gifts. We made almost 50 to start out with, and they are GONE now, just a few months later! (On top of the fact that several of my friends offered to buy them!)
GENIUS!! You just saved me tons of cash!
I already use mason jars as glasses because they are kinda funky but I get made fun of for it by my in-laws. :) I am totally making these for the next time they come over!!! It will be great!
I just made these for my cousins for bunco night, they loved them!! Thank you so much for sharing. I made 12 and saved about $280. My sister saw them in San Francisco for $24 and we had to find a way to make them! So cute! I spent about $30, gotta love Dollar Tree! My cousin said it was the best gift she has ever received!
One of my sorority sisters bought a set for another sister at a Hallmark store in Texas!! We are all Ball State graduates! I love them!! What a great idea! Thanks!
Love it! PS You can pick up E6000 anywhere-including Wal-Mart! It is my fave, because it has great holding strength, but is also like rubber cement in the way that you can rub it right off your hands!!!
Anybody have suggestions on wine to include as gift set???

I have seen them in stores for $25 & I thought I would try to make some for Christmas gifts. I am from Alabama & the ones I saw were painted with Alabama or Auburn team colors & adorable. I thought I would try & find the stuff to do it & was told at a craft store to follow your procedure but they said to buy this special glue & paint for glass & it had "cure" for a 20 days or be baked in the oven! Maybe that was to make sure they survived washing or something. Do you use the dishwasher for them or do it by hand?
I handwash mine and have not experienced any issues. I have used both the 5 minute epoxy and the E6000. The E6000 takes a good 24 hours to cure, but it seems to hold up fairly well. Sounds like the craft store was trying to push something on you!
I don't know how I found this, but I'm so glad I did. I've been thinking the same thing - these things are so expensive; I should be able to make them. Thanks for the how to. Hope you don't mind that I put this on Pinterest. It's getting a lot of attention for your blog. laurie
I love making these things, they're a hit! And much cheaper than buying them. Saw today the original company that put these out has made $5 million since April!
My husband makes wine,and got 1 of these from friends today for Christmas. My brother also makes wine, and I will be making one for him for Chrismas next year. Thanks for simple instuctions
I'v seen them for sale at Cozy Cottage Interiors but I didn't know you could make em!
I am not very "crafty," so was hoping you could help--we have a dear friend who drinks his iced tea from a quart Mason/Ball jar---any ideas on what the height of
the candle holder should be for a quart jar ( to make sure that it is stable, not "tipsy.")
I have seen these many places and assumed they were mason jars and candlesticks, however didn't know what to "stick" them together with. Thanks for the tutorial! I will be doing these for christmas and putting cookie ingredients in the jars!
Serve wine accompanying a dinner in large glasses. This ensures that you and your guests will have enough wine in your glasses to enjoy throughout the meal.
This is huge here in Tennessee. Love these :)
These Redneck wine glasses looks lovely and redneck wine glasses are perfect for your parties.

I've heard some of the glass glue is not safe for use on kitchenwares, even to wash in the same dish water. Anyone know anything about that?
i got my set from www.thehiddensafe.com
These glasses are so cool. I have already started looking for candle holders at yard sales and found two so far. Dollar Tree has them for $1.00 each. I also look for jars at thrift shops and yard sales. Can't wait for a rainy day or cool day to get starter.
That's beautiful! Discounted wine glasses will cost only a fraction of an expensive wine glass. Only you must be very careful in selecting an elegant looking cheap wine glass.
