I've been at the chalkboard paint again! No, not sniffing it, you silly! After the fun I had creating the Craft Paper Portable Chalkboard, my mind kept thinking about other things I could transform. As I perused my new studio space, my eyes alit on a stack of old business cards. Hmmmm.
So, what started out as this...
...was transformed into this...
I added a whole crew of these chalkboard tags to my vintage ladder and wire basket organizer. If I ever get around to actually putting these baskets to use, the tags will be easily editable.
Want to make your own?...
So, do you have your projects ready for the Chalk Talk party?
See you here with your chalk & chalkboard projects starting April 16!!

Absolutely BRILLIANT! I have a box of business cards here at my office that I almost NEVER give out and my daughter needs some tags for her bedroom...I am TOTALLY doing this! Just need to get my hands on one of those little bottles of DecoArt Chalkboard Paint...or maybe it would work with the can Valspar Chalkboard Paint I had to buy for another project?! Might have to try that one out first. Thanks for the idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great and easy idea. I love it and can't wait to try it.
