I've been feeling crafty the last couple of days. It's too cold to do much of anything outside. I should probably be cleaning house but that just doesn't sound exciting! I've had these cute little cherub candle "huggers" for a couple of months. I got 6 of them new in the package for free, but they were kind of plain. I just can't leave well enough alone! Pulled out the glitter and got to work on them for Etsy. I also got out the silver platter from my outlet finds and painted it with chalkboard paint. One thing led to another and next thing I know I am on the floor surrounded by glitter and silverware. I am turning the silverware into magnets for the silver chalkboard platter.

That chalkboard platter is outstanding! Love it.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the chalkboard idea!!
ReplyDeleteHi Nicki,
ReplyDeleteI saw in an issue of Somerset where they painted one of those silver trays with chalkboard paint, so I bought one at a garage sale (tray that is) and had every intention of painting it. I already have the paint and then....I am not able to do it. What's my problem? I love it, but I guess I'm nervous about ruining it's value or something. I think it looks great! Yours actually looks nicer than what I saw in the mag! OK - I'm gonna do it....

PS - Did you know you can buy quart size cans of chalkboard paint at Lowe's. I like to paint terra cotta pots with it, put herbs in them, and write what they are on the side of the pot.
i love the chalk board- i have been looking for the perfect picture to do seeing urs makes me excited to give it a try
ReplyDeleteI love the chalk board idea with the silware on it. :-)
