Patterned Chalkboards

I'm super excited to share a fun idea with you.  

I read about this product

 which turns almost any surface into a chalkboard.

It is sooo cool, my brain is kind of on overload 

with the possibilities.

All you do is paint one coat vertically; let it dry for 1 hour.

Then paint a second coat horizontally, and let it dry 1 hour.

Seriously - That's It!

One of my favorite applications, so far, has been to turn a

piece of scrapbook paper into a patterned chalkboard.

After gluing the scrapbook paper to a piece of cardboard to 

add substance, I simply painted it with 2 coats of the

chalkboard coating - and my project was finished.

It is so cute, and I think it would make a wonderful gift.

Here are a couple of other scrapbook paper ideas to get

your brain storming going:

 

I think the entire cost for my chalkboard

is about $1.50, including the garage sale frame.

 

Is this something you would try?  

Wouldn't kids love making this?

Thanks for stopping by the tub!
