Adventures with a Can of Chalkboard Paint, Part IV

As you might imagine in the home of a Brit, there's always a cup of tea on the go. And with my Mum here this week, there's suddenly a need for two cups, and for a way to tell them apart.

Solution: plain wooden coasters + chalkboard paint


A little bit of chalk, and it's easy to tell which is your cup, which has added sugar...


...or to give a friendly warning!


And no need to limit them to use just with hot drinks. Instead of scribbling guests names on plastic cups at your next get-together, why not give them real drinking glasses, and a coaster with their name on it?
