Yes, I'm jumping on the chalkboard paint wagon! I saw a similarly post from a fellow blogger, Cindy at Beaux R'eves and decided to make my own. Cindy's was round and more ornate, and absolutely gorgeous but I was too "chicken" to use my better ones.
I purchased some chalkboard paint from Lowe's. Using a little sponge brush, my daughter carefully followed the recessed part of this platter. I have three of these platters that I purchased from a yard sale. They are made of metal but not silverplate.
A very easy and simple project!

Thank you, Sharla! I loved you butterfly shadow box!
DeleteYour platter is awesome. I love the fact that the chalkboard came out so smooth and nice. My first attempt came out a bit lumpy for some reason. You have inspired me to do another one. Thanks so much for sharing!

DeleteHi Tammy!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really great idea. It makes a great little accent piece that you can change out as needed. Great for the wall or a table.
Thank you for sharing this at my party! (Also, thanks for the sweet comments about my husband and his job)
