Please don't burst my bubble if you have seen these before! Even if you have, I have not, and I thought it was the BEST idea! I was so excited to see it on Pinterest, and if it hadn't been so late at night I would have headed out then and there to get the supplies!! I am so looking forward to using these at my next event!!
I have never been a fan of wine charms, so I thought this was a modern swing on wine glass labelling...check it out!
So incredibly easy to do!! I had a can of chalkboard paint already (got it at HomeDepot), so I just got some wine glasses from the dollar store, and dipped them! I laid down some newspaper, then put my cookie cooling rack on top of the paper, after I dipped them, I place them on the rack...I let the first coat dry, then dipped them again...this is what takes a while....I put them back on the rack and left them overnight. The next morning, I flipped them all over, and with a sponge brush, smoothed out the bottoms with a bit more paint...and let them dry.
Mine came out a bit bumpy, but they are still easy to write on! I am curious to see how they wash up?? I know I wipe my chalkboard frame with a wet cloth, but because this is stemware, that you will drink out of, they need to be washed....I will let you know how that goes! I may give them a few more days to completely dry before I try them out!
What a cute gift! A set of wine glasses with a pack of chalk!
Now wasn't that an awesome craft to wait for!!! Now go try it out! They will be a hit over the holidays!!

So cute. I really like this idea..but then again I love anything that involves chalkboard paint ;) Have you ever seen the paint that is also magnetic?? Super cool idea. And on that same note, I saw a little blip on that 'Nate Berkus' (sp?) design show that featured mirror paint. They just applied it to the glass from vintage frames and it was vary stunning and beautiful.
