I was cruising around Pinterest the other day and stumbled across a great project that I knew I had to try: chalkboard paint dipped wine glasses.
First, I grabbed one of the wine glasses from our caterer’s box set.
I wrapped some painters tape around the stem just to make sure the chalkboard paint didn’t go up any higher than I wanted.
I poured my chalkboard paint into a little plastic container and got ready to dip.
Because my wine glasses are not completely flat on the bottom, there was a lot of extra paint but I just kept tilting it a little bit to let the extra paint run off. Once it was dry, I primed it by rubbing chalk over it and then rubbing it off.
Finally, I was ready to write on it so I grabbed my piece of chalk and wrote my initials.
I will be ordering chalk ink markers

What a fun idea!!
This is a terrific idea! I was going to make these but my husband wasn’t sure if he’d like them. I’m kind of glad I didn’t do it now since it doesn’t seem to really work with regular chalk. Yours look great, I hope the chalk marker works better for you.
brilliant idea. A friend told me you could write on the bottom of a glass with a sharpie to differentiate between them. Can’t wait to see how these turn out.
This is the first time I’ve seen this on the blogs. Fun!
Following you now and would love to have you follow also. Thanks. Linda

A great variation to keep track of your glass! I didn’t realize the chalk paint came in those little bottles, either. Now I really will try a project with it. Thanks for linking up and sharing <3

I love that you actually dipped these rather than just giving them a ‘dipped look’.
Cool! And so much cheaper than the ones you’d buy at Pier 1 or the like. Thanks for linking up again!
