I have been wanting to use chalkboard paint for a long time, but I never knew it came in spray paint!
I had some little wooden things that I couldn't ever think of anything to use them for and the 2 came together for this.
Hand-held chalkboards for my nieces.
I used about three coats of chalkboard paint to make sure they were coated well. Painted the edges of the wood black, painted the entire back a pretty matching color and mode podged scrapbook paper on the ends.
To finish it off I hot glued ribbon over the seam where the paint met the paper. They also needed chalk so I tied a ribbon around it with a piece of chalk.
I forgot to take a picture before I sent these so I got my sis-in-law to take a picture for me...thanks Heather!
I did this for my other nieces too but they were just ovals and didn't have any flare to them on the front. Hopefully they're still fun to play with anyways.
Now my girls want one...

What a creative idea. I like the way you dressed them up with paper and then finished them off with the ribbon. I'm addicted to chalk board paint, love the stuff.
Thanks for sharing this project.
