One of my favorites is this one…my chalkboard birds on a string! The best thing about this project is that it was absolutely free! I asked you to help me think of six letter words that I could use in addition to spring and here are a few…summer, flower, blooms…and now we can add another one…school!
Miss Kitty thinks her idea is the best…catnip!
Here's another way to use chalkboard paint...turn an old picture frame into a little chalkboard. I have this one, made with my Ballard bargains...a boxwood wreath and French script ribbon...hanging near my backdoor to welcome my "backdoor friends."
Another fun project is my chalkboard flower pots! They make great containers for herbs or fun gifts with the greeting written on the chalkboard label. They are inexpensive and super-easy to make. Wouldn't it be nice to bring one to the teacher on "meet the teacher" day?
Got an old Scrabble game? Then you’ve got almost all that you need for these fun chalkboard tile place cards! As soon as I saw them in the Pottery Barn catalog, I knew I had to make my own version!
And finally, vintage yardsticks and some slate from Michael’s came together to make this yardstick chalkboard! I love the old-fashioned look!
And just in case you missed it, here is the first set of chalkboard projects that I shared with you earlier this year…everything from wine glasses to labels, tags and more place cards.
I have been having fun with chalkboards…can you tell? However, I have to confess that on the first day of school, this retired teacher will be on the patio having my first cup of coffee and listening as the school bus drives through the neighborhood! Ahhhh!
