I have an obsession with chalkboard paint. We have it on the closet doors in the kid’s rooms and in the kitchen. When I got some Martha Stewart Chalkboard paint (courtesy of Plaid Crafts) I was just itching to turn something into a chalkboard. Over the weekend I was at the Dollar Store trying to snag some cool fall decor. That is when I saw a stack of these metal trays.
ONE DOLLAR FOLKS! So this, contact paper and a junk toy for Quinn turned out to be our only Dollar Store finds. Quinn loves going to the Dollar Store. The junkier the toy, the more he wants it. I’m not kidding. The kid goes gaga for McDonald toys too.
Nothing fancy here folks. Two coats of paint, allowing an hour between coats. I just let it sit for 24 hours and we were set to go.
It would be super adorable if you were entertaining and you turned it the long way. You could write your menu. You could add a few of them to a plate wall for some spunk.
Is it just me? Anyone else obsessed with chalkboard paint?
