Cork Chalkboard Coasters!
I love paint. When it’s paint that does something, like say… turn a surface into a chalkboard, the Sarchix “cool” factor goes up even more. Almost as much as paper and stationary, but that’s for another obsession post.
I first want to say that the folks over at Cut out and Keep totally ROCK! They have projects and pics that could keep me busy for days with the talented members there. I highly recommend signing up there (don’t worry, its fabulously free to do so – and they have a monthly web mag to feast on too!!!! <3 you guys at Cut out and Keep).
That being said, have you ever needed a gift for someone but had no idea what to give. If they entertain friends/family or value their wood furniture, this is the project for them. Shrimp Salad Circus has posted a tutorial on how to make coasters that are also chalk boards. Forget the wine charms. Give everyone a coaster and have a cup of chalk and you not only keep friends from mixing up their drinks but protect your furniture too!
All you really need is some cork coasters, chalkboard paint and some accent acrylic paint to make it fun. Oh yeah, and some real chalk. I’m thinking hostess gifts, Christmas Prezzies, all with this brilliant idea!
Thank you Shrimp Salad Circus and Cut Out and Keep!
