My wife and her sisters and cousins are going on girls weekend and to earn some husband points I decided to create some of these chalkboard paint stemware glasses I saw on Instructables. http://www.instructables.com/id/ChalkBoard-Stemware/ I bought some cheap wine glasses at Wal-Mart and had some chalkboard paint left over from the wall of my basement shop. It is an easy process. I wrapped a piece of electrical tape around the stem. I used electrical tape because it is not as sticky as some other tape and so easier to get off once the painting is complete. Also it is fairly thick so easier to find the end to unwrap it. This makes it easier than something like tape you would use for wrapping paper. With the tape wrapped around the stem paint the bottom of the stem and base of the glass. I used 3 coats. One is not enough to cover well. Two covered ok and was nice and smooth but I thought 3 would be more durable. It will be interesting to see how well the paint holds up to
I almost always have something going on.
