Chalkboard Wine Glasses

Chalkboard Wine Glasses
These wine glasses have a chalkboard painted bottom so that your guests can write their names on the glasses and know which glass belongs to who in an instant.

I've seen this idea bouncing around the internet for a bit like here and some other site I can't seem to find again, but I figured I'd try it myself to see if it really was as ridiculously easy as it looks.

Well it is, it's insanely easy to do. No skill required. OK, the vague skill of pointing a spraypaint can in the right direction is needed, but that's about it.

These look sharp! And I didn't know there was such a thing as chalk ink markers. Neat!

Invisible newspaper! What an invention! I'll bet it really cuts down on the amount going into landfills.
