DIY-Chalkborad Wine Glasses and Distressed Holder

Matthew 25:35

For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in (NIV)

DIY-Chalkboard Wine Glasses and Distressed Holder

Brought to you straight from Pinterest! Another direct Steal... So what else is new? and what can't you find on Pinterest?

A super easy, super cute Project, I've been planning on making these glasses since I first saw them on Pinterest.

When I saw this old wood wine glass holder at the 100 mile yard sale, I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I forgot to take a before picture, so here's a "mid-way" picture.

I applied several coats of white Chalk paint, then a coat of light aqua chalk paint. Then I hand sanded and scuffed it up a bit. I knew I wanted to add some black accents to match the glasses I was going to make to go with it, so I decided to use a french script

I had an un-mounted rubber stamp in a French Script, I didn't even attach it to a base, I wanted it to sort of bend over the edges just a touch.

I used stampin Up Black ink. I love the way it turned out! Can you tell I'm a little surprised? It usually takes me a couple trys to get it right, but this project came together on the first attempt!

I used a Final Stencil for the the bottom center, I used the

stampin up ink for this, also

Now on to the glasses, I slipped the top of the glass into a plastic baggie, taped it shut, and taped the stem down to where I wanted the paint to stop.

I gave the tops of the bottoms 3 coats of Chalkboard Spray paint, it drys super fast in the sun, then flipped them over and gave the very bottoms 3 coats
