Adventures in blackboard paint


 
I'm loving blackboard paint.  I bought it for painting the front of display boxes for upcoming markets. But couldn't resist experimenting a bit too.
The snowflakes are made by simply painted icy pole sticks, glue together and add a piece of doily in the centre.(Still not sure it needs this - what do you think?)
Then chalk lines. I still need a bit more practice with the drawing - but that's the best part! Just wipe it off and start again!

The re-usable nature of blackboard paint appealed to me. So I've made these gift tags which can be re-used.
I used a game of dominoes. I told the kids if they didn't pick them up I would recycle them....they were warned!
Covering the wooden side with masking tape helped to keep it clean.
After one coat - drilling, then a final coat of paint. I used a chalk pencil to write on them and some letter stamps to decorate the wooden side.
What else can I paint with blackboard paint???? I like the idea of a blackboard thought bubble necklace so I can change my mind about what's written on it...
