CHALK BOARD BOWLS

WHAT YOU NEED

- chalk board paint

- bowls (any size or shape)

I am going to have to admit that i did not come up with this idea. However in saying that i wish it was me who came up with this.  I received these as a Christmas gift from my sister in law . This was actually one of my favorite gifts i received this year. It was done in thoughtfulness and love.

So you take a bowl and paint the outside of it with chalk board paint. You may have to do a couple of coats paint. And that is it. These bowls will be well used. Even for kids parties you can used colored chalk to add a little fun.. For cleaning you have to wipe outside with a damp cloth and inside with soapy water. Not dishwasher friendly ..

Enjoy

Lantern

                                                                WHAT YOU NEED:

                                                            - mason jar 

                                                            - coat hanger

                                                            - tea lights 

                                                            - string and or ribbon 

This craft only took minutes to do. It was to difficult to bend the coat hanger wire around the top of the jar. We ended up using Wire very similar to floral wire . It was much easier to bend. We wrapped the wire around the top of the jar twisting the ends and pushing it to the glass so the wire would not stick out. Then we took about a foot of the same wire. Bent it like a handle. we took the one end twisted it with the wire already on the jar and did the same with the other end. then we put the string on for decoration . You can use a ribbon to fancy it up or not put anything around it. A simple craft that anyone can do..
