You have to checkout www.realwomenofphiladelphia.com. What a fun and interactive website and I know I will get a lot of great ideas for new projects and maybe some new recipes for our Cake Pops.
I entered to win a Kitchen Aid Food Processor by giving ideas of how to use chalkboard paint in the kitchen. Here were my entries:
- I think it would be a neat idea to take old frying pans (that you no longer use or from the thrift store) and use the chalkboard paint on the inside. Take 4-5 pans and display them using a half wall pan rack. You can write positive, welcoming words in each pan or use it to write down what is scheduled for tonight's dinner. Fun!
- You can use the chalkboard paint on small flower pots that you use to plant herbs. Label each herb on the flower pot and display on a nice, colorful plate or on a window seal. This would be a great project for the kiddos.
- You know all of the white coffee mugs that you get for free from work or from a R.E agent, although they are useful, they aren't the most attractive mugs to use. So, I would get small stencils that you can create with any cardboard or cereal boxes or you can purchase from your local craft store (in shape of a heart or star, etc.) and paint over the lettering, using the stencil, with your chalkboard paint. Walla! You have a nice mug that you can write positive attributions or something funny. I think the best use is to write something loving to your husband/wife or boyfriend/girlfriend for them to read in the morning as a surprise. What a nice way to tell you SO how much you love them or to thank them for taking out the trash the night before. Appreciation goes a long way. This would also be a great, affordable gift to give to anyone. Just purchase inexpensive white mugs and use the heart stencil. This would be a great wedding gift. You can do the same thing with a apple stencil and give to a teacher as a gift.
