WOWO I love this, thank you SO much. Chalkboardpaint is very expensive and now you can make it yourself for a fraction of the cost !!

I buy the circle stacking boxes that come in a set of 3 and paint them with chalkboard paint, then wrap rick-rack around the bottom of each, and when you stack them it looks like a cake! I give them as birthday gifts.

Here is the link where I got the idea:

Cute! I saw an idea yesterday for making cake stands- use an old can (for the base) covered w/scrapbooking paper, use a dollar stove drip tray (round thing goes under the burner), glue together, put pompoms, etc. on the outside edge... cute...

I love this!!!

My girls have been wantin chalkboards for their rooms, but we simply can't afford them. I have some cans of paint that were given to us and I could swing the $8 for the grout stuff!

You have definitely made their day!

Good! I saw some pics of people who painted a small, hall wall, and a small tabletop. Kids could sit/stand and color to their heart's content!
