She's crafty!



My very good, dear friend Laurel's 30th Birthday Extravaganza was Saturday night. I wanted to give her something that was perfectly "Laurel". She's crafty, thoughtful, clever, loves wine and give the best gifts.
I came up with the idea of Chalkboard Wine Glasses! Chicks on Pinterest are chalkboard painting almost everything within an inch of it's life so I thought it was my turn to be crafty!

Chalkboard Wine Glasses

What you will need:
  1. 6 pack of wine glasses from Ikea ($4)
  2. Painters tape (already had on hand)
  3. Can of black Chalkboard Spray Paint ($4 Home Depot)

Step 1- Run a bit of painter's tape around the stem of each glass at the base.


Step 2- Carefully spray each base..also make sure you check that the spray can has a little nozzle before purchasing. My nozzle was missing (of course), lucky for me I have about 3,529 cans of spray paint hanging out in my project cabinet in the garage.


Step 3- Let dry for 2 days before chalking it up. Gently rub a piece of chalk all over spray painted surface then wipe off to prep it for chalkboard use :)


Step 4-Start thinking of other things you can transform with chalkboard spray paint :)



The finished project!
What can I say she loves pea soup!
