Painted Wine Glasses

So my mom turned 50 this year and i had a BLAST putting her party together. We did a "Taste of Italy" theme, it was so pretty...my parents live in Temecula (wine country) and have a stunning view. So it just fit perfectly. Well i had MANY crafts that i did and would have done WAY more but time was against me.  This is one of my favorite projects.... and i turned it into the guest party favors as well. I went to ikea and bought 80 wine glasses both red and white and painted the stems of each glass with chalkboard paint. That way each guest could write there own name on a glass and they wouldn't get mixed up another party goer!

These were SO EASY to make!

I pealed off the stickers on the bottom, and gave them a quick wipe 

I bought my chalkboard paint from Lowes, used a foam brush, and painted 3-4 coats of paint on each glass. I let each coat dry about 5 min.

And here is the final product! Fun to make, but more fun to drink from!

Cheers!

Play Dough!

Since its getting way to hot outside to take my little girl out to play I'm looking for things to keep her busy inside the house....Today we made an awesome Play-dough recipe! Seriously my daughter played with this for hours! I enjoyed playing too! It take maybe 10 minutes to make, its cheap, and it lasts!!

You Will Need :

1 Cup Water

1 Cup Flour

1/4 Cup Salt

2 Teaspoon Cream of Tarter

1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil

Food Coloring

Directions:

Mix everything together (expect the food coloring, if you want more then 1 color)

Cook on medium low until it becomes sticky...kinda like this...

I added about 6 drops of food coloring, and it only took a few minutes and then i took it out and kneaded it on my counter until it was soft and playable!

And can you tell SHE LOVED IT!!!

Im thinking i may make a big batch of all colors and turn them into party favors for her 2nd bday party! They would also be great Bday / Christmas gifts for the kids in your life!

Have fun and enjoy being a kid again =)
