#1. Falling Leaves: Colorful leaves in shades of red, orange, yellow, and brown.
Let’s start with the most obvious one: colorful leaves. Cliche, right? yes. However, there is always something you can add your twist to. For example, add a white semi transparent smokey background to the glass before adding the illustrations.
The background can have certain graphic style or a certain shape. For example, it can be round or wavy, or it can have corners. Then add the actual illustrations.
Why does this work?
If you use the glass for a red wine, then the colors that are associated to Fall will blend in and the illustrations will get lost on the red background. Adding a semi-transparent white background under the illustrations would give you a nice backdrop!
Another tip is to add a solid color under the illustrations, like yellow or white.
Here are two best acrylic paint options for painting the glass:
#2: Yet another Cliche: Pumpkins!
If you were thinking, oh, what comes next after the falling leaves, maybe pumpkins? you are absolutely right!
You can’t think of fall decor without pumpkins, can you? Here we are, trying to add a creative twist to the wine glass paintings without looking too cliche.
To be honest, I don’t really have a tip for this. So, embrace the stereotype and celebrate the pumpkins! They are the cutest.
You can either keep the glass transparent, or add a white background, OR add a half-background.
#3. Floral decorative motifs
Floral motifs are still a great option for fall decor. Think of those rich, warm-toned flowers that bloom in autumn. Deep reds, burnt oranges, and golden yellows can bring a touch of elegance to your wine glasses. You could paint intricate floral patterns or keep it simple with a few blossoms here and there.
Why floral motifs? Because they add a classic touch to your table setting, perfect for any fall gathering. You can create a bouquet effect by varying the sizes and types of flowers. And don’t forget to add a few green leaves for contrast! If you’re feeling adventurous, try a metallic paint for a bit of sparkle.
Honestly, metallic paint is REALLY my thing. Not only for wine glasses, but I’ve been using bronze paints on top of my watercolor paintings and every time I do it, I am absolutely satisfied. Later on I might share some of my paintings, so follow along!
#4. Cozy Sweater Patterns
Fall is all about feeling cozy, and what’s cozier than a warm sweater? Translate that comfy vibe to your wine glasses with some cute sweater patterns. Imagine little cable knits, argyle, or fair isle designs wrapped around your glass. Adorable, right?
For a fun twist, use textured paint to mimic the feel of real fabric. You could even go monochromatic with shades of cream and beige, or add pops of color like burgundy and forest green. This design will definitely make your guests feel warm and fuzzy.
If you are someone who LOVES to think outside of box, make a “top” or a “coat” for your wine glass!
Don’t panic! hear me out:
What if you create decorative clothes for your glasses? it can be knitted or crocheted. Here are some examples!
#5. Woodland Creatures
Bring the charm of the forest to your table with adorable woodland creatures. Think cute little foxes, owls, squirrels, and deer painted onto your wine glasses. These little animals can add a whimsical touch to your fall decor.
Use earthy tones like browns, oranges, and grays to keep the theme consistent. You can make it even more fun by adding some background elements like trees, mushrooms, and acorns. These glasses will be a hit at any fall gathering, adding a touch of enchantment to your decor.
Don’t forget the bugs.
Bugs can be cute, if painted.
#6. Apple Picking Theme
There’s something magical about walking through an orchard, basket in hand, choosing the juiciest apples right from the tree. To capture this experience on your wine glasses, you could paint vibrant red and green apples, perhaps even a few dangling from branches.
For a charming twist, add some details like baskets or even a little ladder leaning against an apple tree. This design not only looks delightful but also brings a bit of that fresh orchard feel to your table. And don’t forget to enjoy some fresh apple cider while admiring your handiwork!
7. Halloween
Think of witches, ghosts, black cats, and jack-o’-lanterns adorning your wine glasses. You can really have fun with this one by adding glow-in-the-dark paint or using neon colors to make your designs pop.
Harvest
Celebrate the abundance of the harvest season with designs featuring corn, squash, and other fall vegetables. These elements symbolize the richness and bounty of fall, making them perfect for your wine glasses.
Use a variety of colors to represent the different vegetables – golden yellows, deep greens, and rich oranges. You could even create a little harvest scene with a wheelbarrow or a scarecrow. These glasses will bring a rustic, farm-to-table vibe to your fall gatherings.
Pomegranades
I come from Georgia and pomegranate is super popular in autumn-themed decorations or illustrations. There is something special about it. I don’t know any other culture where the pomegranades are celebrated to this extent. Here are some of my favorite examples from Georgia:
But, back to the topic:
you can use the same concept for your wine glass paintings as well!
Mums (Chrysanthemums): Popular Fall Flowers Used for Decorating Gardens and Doorsteps
Chrysanthemums, or mums, are the stars of fall gardens. Their vibrant colors can brighten up any space. Paint your wine glasses with beautiful mums in shades of yellow, orange, red, and purple.
You can create a bouquet effect or scatter the flowers around the glass for a more whimsical look. Adding some green leaves and stems will give your design a more complete feel. These glasses will be perfect for adding a touch of floral elegance to your fall decor.
Abstract shapes with fall colors
For a modern and artistic twist, try painting abstract shapes using fall colors on your wine glasses. Think bold geometric patterns or soft, flowing shapes in a palette of deep reds, burnt oranges, mustard yellows, and earthy browns.
You can experiment with different styles, such as overlapping circles, zigzags, or even a mix of sharp and smooth lines. This design approach allows for a lot of creativity and personal expression.
Plus, the vibrant fall colors will make your wine glasses stand out, adding a contemporary yet seasonal touch to your table setting. These abstract designs are perfect for those who appreciate a more minimalist and artistic flair.

I hope these wine glass painting ideas have inspired you to get creative this fall season. Whether you’re celebrating Thanksgiving, Halloween, or just enjoying the cozy vibes of autumn, these DIY projects are sure to add a special touch to your gatherings.
