Featured on Teach Me Tuesday #62

I was so excited to see Tuesday my chalk dipped wine glasses and table set up were featured on Teach Me Tuesday #62. These glasses were one of my favorite part of my mom's surprise 60th birthday party. Thank you so much Bobbi for the feature!

Chalk Dipped Wine Glasses

For mom's party I wanted to have something the guest could take with them. The day of the party I was running around like crazy so I'm sorry I don't have a clear pic of just the glasses. I saw this idea on All Things Major. 

What you Need:

Wine Glasses (I found mine at the Dollar Tree)

Chalk Paint

Container 

Chalk (for guest to write their name)

Pour some of your chalk paint in a container (I used a plastic ziplock container). Dip your wine glasses in the container. I placed the glasses on a sheet of cardboard in the sun. NOW I learned that when you let these dry don't let them sit for a long time before you flip them if not you'll get bumps in your paint on the glass. 

I also found an idea for a chalk board for people to know it was for them to take home (ONLY if people would have taken their glasses home .. lol). I found an idea for a chalk board on Yahoo Makers.

This table was the talk of the party, even if guest forgot to take home their glasses. My bestie who helped me got a whole new set of glasses.

A tip I found was to bake the glasses at 350 for 20 minutes!

This helps set the paint, they suggest hand washing them.

Thanks for Stopping by!

Planning a Wine Party!!!

My mom is turning 60 this coming weekend, so I've been working for a few months on putting together a surprise party for her. She loves wine and gardening so I tossed around several ideas for a while and came to a wine themed party (yes you all that follow me know I'm a sucker for a themed party). I'm putting it all together right now a few things of course will have to do the day before and the day of but I'm working on the things I can do leading up to Saturday.

Here's a sneak peak of what I've been working on so far.

I started a 60 out of wood covered in corks!

Who would have thought 250 corks would NOT be enough (waiting on more .. yikes)

Chalk painted wine glasses

What's a wine party with out wine!

Without going broke I hit up Grocery Outlet and saved $225.21!! whoo hoo!

And of course the wine themed invitations!

I put cork paper on the back to tie in the theme!

I love how they turned out!

Hope you're all having a great week!
