We will be apart of the Christmas in July series and will be representing Plaid crafts. You know them.....Mod Podge (my favorite), Folk Art Paint, One Stroke, and now they have a new chalkboard paint.
The paint premiered at the January CHA and Steve and I got a chance to work with it making some kids crafts. This paint is awesome and will turn any surface into a chalkboard....even fabric!
The paint is available in 12 different eye popping colors.
Take a peek at some of the wonderful ideas on the internet!

The pillow was so easy to make! I used the fredrix sewpaintable fabric (12'x12") with 4 coats of the green paint to create the chalkboard square.
Next, I used a pinking sheer on the edge of the painted square to create a decorative edge.
I cut 2 squares (14"x14") from the blue alien fabric.
I sewed the chalkboard square to the center of one of the fabric squares.
I added a chalk pocket with a scrap of fabric to the side of the pillow.
Next I sewed the pillow right sides together, turned it right side out, stuffed the pillow and hand-stitched the opening closed.
I thinking about doing the chalkboard paint backsplash in my kitchen. I hope it will tide us over until my husband and I finally agree on a permanent backsplash solution!
