Chalkboard Whiskey Decanter

Recently, I had an idea for adding chalkboard paint to my whiskey decanter.

You’ll need primer, chalkboard paint, chalk, and a whiskey decanter. Mine is glass. I’m not sure if that’s a requirement, though.

First, you’ll need to tape the area off. I used masking tape, but I highly recommend that blue painter’s tape. Then wrap the whole thing with a plastic bag or something. You want to cover everything except for the part you want painted.

Paint two layers of primer (as needed), and two layers of the chalkboard paint (again, as needed). Let dry between layers, and before you take the tape off.

After you remove the tape, use a q-tip and paint thinner to clean the edges.

Cover the chalkboard area with chalk. I’m not sure why. I guess it primes the chalkboard. I had a ton of extra chalk, so I went wild. Erase, and you’re done. Washing with water and dish soap doesn’t seem to damage it.
