A month ago I found this great idea on Craft DIY. I started out thinking I'd make chalkboards similar to theirs but then I found these great unfinished frames at Micheal's for only $1 each!
So I laid them all out and then spray painted them with chalkboard paint. 1 coat on the backside and 2 coats on the front.
While they were drying I ordered a bunch of pictures of Malea from Costco and had them printed. Then that night I cut all the pictures to the frame sizes and put them in. I picked pictures that were all silly ones because I thought the kids would like that more. :)
After I put the pictures in the frames a friend helped me decorate them all. I'm going to have erasers and chalk at the party for the kids to decorate them but I thought it would be fun to have them second as cute decorations too! I'm super excited, I think the kids are going to love them!
Such a fun and easy party favor! What do you think?
Linking up with some of these great blogs.
Cute idea....I might try something like this with my kindergarten class for mother's day

ReplyDeleteThese are really neat. I just bought a little bottle of chalkboard paint to "experiment" with --I'll have to keep this in mind!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! So much fun!
ReplyDeleteHow fun, I just did something similar to these for my daughters birthday party. I found hand sized wooden heart shape cut outs at Michael's and used the chalkboard spray paint as well. They made cute chalkboards! And I put them in their goody bags with some candy. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this idea of doing the frames for them to decorate!
