The first thing I did was to take the signs outside and spray them with chalk board paint.

See a list of products you can use to make this project at the bottom of the post. 

I had never used the spray chalkboard paint before and WOW!

Winner! I may never go back to the chalk board paint in the can.

The spray was way easier!... except for the snow.

And that's it... 

The first sign got vinyl lettering in the center so it can be used as a count down for a special occasion.

On the second sign I also used vinyl lettering... and attached a chalk board ledge to the bottom.

It's a great place to keep track of the items you need at the store.

And the fact that these metal signs are magnetic is a bonus!



I attached magnets to the back of a couple of 

 they will be great for holding those coupons I always forget 
to bring when I go to the grocery store.
