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!

They're pretty slick, I gotta admit. Nice vibrant colors.

Neat Idea!

How durable is the paint-on-glass?

Quite durable, although I've heard that it is NOT dishwasher safe. Haven't tried that out myself.

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