Inspired to create by chalk board mugs!

A couple of weeks ago I was looking at back to school ideas and I stumbled on this.

This is on my pinterest board and can be found at Funky Junk Interiors. I knew immediatly that I didn't need this as a teacher's gift, but needed it for my house. We go through glasses constantly because no one can remember whose glass belongs to them. I didn't want the mug, so I hopped to the store and picked up four glasses thinking this would make glasses and drinks during school more manageable!

This project took maybe 30 minutes top and the kids and I are already loving them. I am not certain how they will hold up to wash after wash, but lucky for me I have more chalk board paint!

The first thing I did was to mask off the areas that I didn't want to paint.

Then I shook up my can of chalk board paint and sprayed away...I used 2 - 3 coats of paint. It was a hot day and it dried VERY fast.

After the paint dried I pulled off the tape.

Super easy, very useful, and even my 12 year old LOVES her glass. the kids like to draw pictures on them as well. Fun.

I still have some more paint, and thought I might make the girls dance teachers a glass to take to them on their first day of dance class! I LOVE pinterest and the inspiration it provides. Happy Friday!

Just curious, Jen--- does the paint stay on even if you put the glasses in the dishwasher? I can see making these on plastic cups for my grand-nieces and -nephew :-)

Hi Barb!
Do NOT put them in the dishwasher. I tested it out for you and put one in and the paint just melts away.
They do wash well by hand though!
Good to see you here!
