I'm so ready for it to be Christmas!! It's my favorite holiday because it doesn't last for just one day. It's like an entire month. So I decided to make my friends monogrammed wine glasses this year :) it was super easy and they came out perfect. Can't wait to break them in tonight ;). 
What you'll need is a wine glass, painters tape, whatever color of spray paint your base will be, (I used white) and acrylic paints of various colors. If you want to go Lolita on this then feel free to get some Pom Pom like stuff or bedazzling gems.
The first step is the most important. Tape the rim of the wine glass and the beginning of the stem. Make sure the tape doesn't cover any part you want painted (duh!). Now I did a couple coats of white acrylic paint so that the spray paint would have something to stick to. Then I did two coats of spray paint. This is important because it will help whatever color you paint over the white to not be streaky and ugly. Now paint three or four coats of a new color, whatever color you'd like the glass to be. Now it's up to you to pick how you'd like to monogram them. I painted an ornament ball and then did the first initial inside of it. You really have the freedom to do what you'd like here and get creative! Once you're done seal the glass with four coats at least of mod podge and then two layers of spray sealant that is waterproof. Once these are ready to use, don't clean them in the dishwasher and don't use a sponge or anything scrubby on the outside! Just to be safe. Now sit back, relax and admire your work! Cheers!
