Platter Chalkboard DIY

brittsintro2






Next up, a fun little DIY! I made this a few months ago when I was feeling super crafty. I know that chalkboards are "in" right now, and I really wanted a cute one of my own. I bought a wooden platter at Good Will for about 2 bucks spray painted it white for a base, and then spray painted it will some old chalkboard paint I had around the house. You could basically do this project for free if you have all the materials laying around! Super simple and super cute.
