Chalkboard Craziness!

Something I always have at home for what ever craft i'm working on is: 
Chalkboard Paint!

This stuff can be used for anything and on anything! You use it like normal paint, but when it dries, the object you painted become a chalkboard! You can buy it as paint, spray paint or...


Make your own in any color with just one cup of paint and 2 TBS grout!

It's so easy to use and so cute! I've seen it used for many different things.


Paint walls


On dressers


On back of chairs


On pantry and fridge doors, to make homemade chalkboards, calendars and labels! 
Another great idea I've seen is to paint the top of a kids table and the kids will be entertained for hours at party's and weddings!

There is so many ways to use chalkboard paint! What idea do you have in mind?

Hot Glue Guns and Crayons

Hey guys! Here is a fun craft to do for summer!


Most of you guys that have a Pinterest have seen the pin with crayons and a blow dryer on canvas, if not here is what it looks like:


All you do is hot glue crayons to a canvas, set your blow dryer on hot and let the crayons melt down the canvas. I tried this and it turned out super cool! But I wanted more of a design and a way to make it unique. After looking on a couple website I found this:



Used unwrapped crayons in a hot glue gun! You might want to consider buying a separate hot glue gun for the crayons because if you know you are going to make a mess, it will get all over. But if you can keep it clean, the crayon that sticks to the inside comes out with the glue (when you use your glue gun to glue again).  With this idea you can make so many designs! 
To make words or other designs, simply tape off where you don't want the crayon to go and before it dries all the way, peel it off! Super fun and super cute!

Have fun and make it unique!

The directions are simple: Go to your local kitchen supply store and buy a cheese grater. The rest is up to you! Paint it, add stickers, get crafty with a sharpie, glue on some scrapbook paper, there is so many ways to make this idea your own.

Have fun with it!(:
