Materials:
Stemware
Paint Brush
Chalk
Paint the base. I recommend using short brushstrokes. This layer will be thin as you want just enough coverage to create texture for the second layer. This layer will not look attractive but do not worry, it will turn out!
Let dry overnight. Then paint on a second layer of paint. It will look goopy, but again, do not worry, as it dries the paint settles into the shape of the base.
Let the second coat dry overnight. Now entertain away!
Something to note - do not get the bases wet as the paint will chip. To preserve, wash only the bowl of the stemware. An upside to the somewhat delicate nature is that you can easily wash all the paint off if you want your stemware only transitioned temporarily.

The best idea!
Cute idea, but I think it might be easier to tape off the stem with some painters tape and then use a couple coats of chalkboard spray paint. I think it would leave a more even finish on base...
Now that's a neat idea! Totally gonna try it for the next party... :) Thanks for sharing!

Pebeo Porcelaine paints sell a chalkboard paint that is permanent once dried overnight then placed in a cold oven, baked for 30 minutes at 350 then turned off and allowed to cool inside gradually. There are lots of Pinterest claims that baking regular acrylic paint or Sharpie makes it permanent but that is NOT true. Oil based Sharpie fares slightly well but nothing like enamel paint or Martha Stewart craft paint.
What a great idea! Perfect for times where you don't know people really well perhaps, like a shower.
This is such a cool idea. I LOVE it!! Thanks a million!

What a cute idea!!
I'm obsessed with chalkboard paint! I love the wine glass idea. I also made one out of a frame and turned into a dinner menu for the table for a date night :)
