I needed somewhere to write my grocery list - besides on random scraps of paper - so I made this chalkboard for my fridge.
I shined it up with some silver polish.
I painted three coats of chalkboard paint.
I also glued a magnet to the back of this little metal cup to hold the chalk.
Did you know you can sharpen chalk in a pencil sharpener? The fine point makes it easier to write small.
This is what I need from the grocery store right now. :)
It started with this fun shaped silver-plated tray I found at an estate sale for a few dollars.
I shined it up with some silver polish.
Then I lightly sanded the center, to help ensure the paint would stick.
I painted three coats of chalkboard paint.
I glued four strong magnets to the back of the tray.
