Chalkboard wine glasses

No card today - but still a 'crafty' item!  I've been seeing these chalkboard wine glasses around the crafty blogs and thought I'd give them a try!

I referred to two blogs before attempting these:
Just Short Of Crazy and Scissors and Spatulas

We were headed out to a birthday part last night - so I decided to give the host and hostess each a glass.
I typed up the instructions and AFTER taking the pictures - I tied a piece of chalk to "Tim's" glass.

Here's a close up of "Peg's" glass:

So - these were pretty easy to make......just time consuming.  I decided to go with the chalkboard paint rather than the spray.  It goes on REALLY thick so you really have to wait out the drip, drip, drip.  I did use painter's tap along the bottom of the stem, but you still have to keep an eye on them and wipe off any drips.

I decided to do two coats as well and waited two days in between coats.  I think these would be GREAT sellers at a craft fair - but sadly, Cindy and I won't be around for our fair this year.  I still might make some more and try to sell them independently - or just give as gifts!

Cheers!

Thanks for your visit!
