Chalkboard DIY at Specs and Wings Blog Party

Next up, a fun little DIY! I made this a few months ago when I was feeling super crafty. I know that chalkboards are "in" right now, and I really wanted a cute one of my own. I bought a wooden platter at Good Will for about 2 bucks spray painted it white for a base, and then spray painted it will some old chalkboard paint I had around the house. You could basically do this project for free if you have all the materials laying around! Super simple and super cute. A platter, plate or board of some sort
White or any color spray paint for a base
Chalkboard spray paint

I've already used mine for a menu display at a bridal shower... a welcome sign in our new home... and a grocery list reminders for my super forgetful brain (I'm 27 weeks prego with our first baby, and sheesh, is my brain forgetful these day!)...

Very nice. I did a big one and now I am working on a plate one too!
