Chalkboard Paint Wine Glasses Tutorial

I taped off right where the straight stem and curve of base meet.



You can use either liquid or spray. I chose spray for convenience.
This worked awesome for keeping paint off of the rest of the glass. Downfall... not easy to get residue off. ( I used alcohol and a rag. Probably should have tried taping a baggie over glass.)
Beautiful day spraying glasses outside. I did not move the glasses at all while I painted and they came out great with no "lip" on the bottom edge.  *HINT: if you spray too close to the glass you will get a very very glossy finish that doesn't accept chalk. You must spray from 10"-14" away. I did a test first on a mason jar and that is what happened. I did however go back over that same test from further away and it came out fine so don't get too upset if that happens on your first try.
My finished glass.
