Ok this was seriously so much fun and super easy to do... the only hard part... being p.a.t.i.e.n.t.
I got three different size vases at the Dollar Tree and Chalkboard paint from Home Depot:
I painted in vertical strokes for the first coat. Then waited three, count it t.h.r.e.e. hours before applying the second in horizontal strokes. Finally, I waited an entire day before putting on the final coat. Glossy finish before drying:
Are we liking the Michael's newspaper? Ok just had to throw that in. :)
The waiting got even worse. I waited three WHOLE DAYS before painting on red frames/designs and once those were dry, it was
chalking time!!! Man was I excited. And when I'm happy, my household is happy.
I made them "Valentine-ish", cause you know, duh, isn't everyone doing V-day stuff right now? LOL You better believe I will be changing these up constantly.
I want to give a HUGE thank you to
Domestically Speaking for the project idea. I ADORE my new multi-purpose vases.

ReplyDeleteThese are too fun, and I love the red touches. You definitely have more patience than me, you know I would've been trying to write on them before they were ready! :-) Adorable, thanks so much for linking them up!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! I like how you can change it up.
