You'll Need:
- Wine glasses (CLEAN)
- Chalkboard paint (I got mine at Hobby Lobby - $3.50)
- Light sand paper
- Paint brush
- Chalk (but I would suggest buying a chalk-marker---- I don't have one, but I heard they are much better and easier than regular chalk - plus I found after painting them, that if you push down to hard with the chalk, the paint can chip.
Steps:
- Start with a very clean glass
- Lightly rub the base of the glass with sandpaper
- wipe off the base with a damp cloth
- dry the base with a dry cloth
- if you feel the need to make sure you have a straight line - you can use painters tape - I just guessed and mine turned out ok
- paint one coat of paint onto the glass in a vertical direction
- let paint dry for 1 hour
- paint another coat on in a horizontal direction
- let dry
- let glasses set for 24 hours
- use the side of a piece of chalk and rub on the side of the glass to "prime" it.
- wipe the chalk off with a piece of a dry paper towel and then wash it off with a damp paper towel
- Write on it with chalk (LIGHTLY)
