I'm seriously SO in love with my latest craft. **Project Stemless Wine Glasses** - so sick of not being able to tell who's glass is who's. I searched & searched for a DIY tutorial on Pinterest on something to help guide me in making chalkboard wine glass labels... but my search results were either the 'dipped' stems (mine are stemless - favs) or I had to BUY the labels or the glasses pre-made. $28 + $14 shipping...for 4 glasses??
