Chalk-Paint Wine Glass
Tired of drinking someone else's wine? Solve that problem with a little chalk paint on the base of the glass. Then your guests can write their names or draw pictures to mark their wine. Here's how it's done!
Cost: You can do a full set of 8 glasses for less than $30 (assuming you're getting the glasses at Target...) This was free for me since I already had a glass and the paint.
You will need:
A wine glass (or many wine glasses)
Primer
Chalkboard paint
A place to dry the glasses. I recommend wax paper.
Step one:
Take your wine glass outside and spray the base and a bit of the stem with your primer. Let it dry outside.
Step two:
Open up your can of chalkboard paint and literally dip the bottom of the glass into the paint. ** Note: doing it this way is easy, but takes a long long time to dry. If I did it again, I would use a paint brush instead. **
Step three:
Pull it out slowly and let some of the excess paint drip back into the can.
Step four:
Let it dry... this is where I did NOT plan ahead. I sat at the table holding the glass in the air until it was just dry enough to set down on a magazine. I recommend getting some wax paper ready!
When it finally dries, you can start writing with chalk!! Now, I have no idea if the glasses are still dishwasher safe. I will be handwashing this one. Good luck, and Happy Hallo-wine!

Put some chalk paint on it! Part One: The door
I decided to paint my closet door with chalk paint when I moved. It's so easy, and looks kind of awesome in my room. Super easy, too. (since this was a long time ago, I don't have step by step photos, but I believe in you! You can do it!)
*You need to get chalk paint-- $15 ish at home depot.
*You also need a primer. I use Kilz in spray form-- $8ish at home depot.
Now.... take the door off its hinges, and move outside!
*Spray your door down evenly with the Kilz. Let it dry.
*Then, paint 2-3 coats of the chalk board paint on top. Let it dry between coats!
*Put the door back on the hinges, and start writing!
