Chalk Board Gifts

This past holiday, my sisters and I wanted to give out homemade gifts to our cousins for Christmas. We decided to do mini chalk boards with pens as presents. To set the project, I got some leftover MDF board I had from a past project, and spray painted the boards with chalkboard paint. Next, I asked for my husband's help and we engraved/cut cute little sayings on the boards. (to which I painted white, to add to the 'chalk board' effect).

Lastly, my sisters and I cut out stripes of leather (also leftover from another project) and used it to attach a chalk board pen with screw posts. In the end, everything turned out great and it was a long process, but hopefully everything was worth it :)

This Tree Hanging landed in my Favorites in Etsy today. Can you blame me? It's a beauty! It inspired me to gather a few chalkboard ideas that are pretty cool for a black and white themed wedding or for a dinner party. Take a look and get inspired today.

This is a good idea for any photo booth! I think its great! Think about asking the guest a question when when taking photos and having them write their answer on the chalkboard. 

Question: How many miles did you travel to witness the happy couple get married?

This is so cool, someone has to come up with a way to incorporate this chalk board globe into a wedding. Maybe a destination wedding? Or a going away party?
