Just a simple little mini project with some chalkboard paint-a tin I found at thrift store for 49.cents.
The color was perfect the way it was, so i left it- taping it off with blue painters tape-
Then used spray chalkboard paint and sprayed the tin 3 times-let dry for 24 hours- rubbed chalk over it-wiped down-
pulled tape off and there ya go- and added a baggy of chalk for the next to person use- a bit of twine for detail with a bow.
Total Cost maybe $1.25 with twine-chalkboard paint-tin
Love that you can make anything out of truly anything even this throw away candy tin.

ReplyDeleteThe wainscotting is original to the 117+ year old house! You should put some on the ceiling...we have done it in the kitchen and a bedroom I will get around to doing a post about. I love wainscotting as well, I would add it to everything!!!!!!!!!!
Your winback chair is awesome!!! Glad you made some buckaroos! I would like to do the same idea to my livingroom furniture, I just odn't know if I am brave enough...I am kind of fickle. Maybe I would tire of it?
