Wood Slice Mini Chalkboards


These wood slices didn't start out as you might think.

On the clearance table at the West Elm store were wood slice coasters for $2.95 a set that were painted with 
holiday messages.

The second I saw them I knew they would be 
perfect to try out my new DecoArt chalkboard paint.

I gave each wood slice 2 coats of chalkboard paint.

The paint went on smoothly and covered completely.

When the chalkboard paint was dry I rubbed the side
of chalk on the wood slice to prep the chalkboards.

I drilled a hole and strung the chalkboard with a length of jute.

These little cuties turned out great and there was
no wood cutting involved this time.

I love the DecoArt chalkboard paint and can't wait to use it again... I have an idea already picked out!
