My current craft obsesh is chalkboard paint, and I have been using every excuse imagineable to use it on every item under the sun (some are successful projects, while others are epic fails...either way, good times)! In the case of this project, I can't wait to use these sweet coasters for guests at our next sha-bang! Now I just need to find an excuse to have a party...
Here's my tutorial for these amazeballs chalkboard coasters!
Materials:
-coasters (I bought mine in a pack of 6 for $1 at my local craft store)
-chalkboard spray paint
-shape stencils or vinyl (I used my Cricut machine to cut out shapes in adhesive vinyl)
-spray paint of any color
-drop cloth or old sheet
-chalk
Instructions:
1. Place coasters onto drop cloth outside or in a well-ventilated space
2. Spray two coats of chalkboard paint onto both sides of coasters
3. After paint is dry, adhere stencils to coasters. I chose a variety of shapes but am particularly partial to the mustache!
4. Return coasters to drop cloth and spray two coats of spray paint onto the front and back of each coaster (I chose gray because I had it on hand).
5. After the paint dries, carefully peel off stencils.
LaaaaaaaaaaaaOve!!!!
