Step 1Supplies

Supplies
*Paint Can (or something else to paint)
*Cheap Black Paint
*Chalkboard Paint

To Add A Little Color

Optional
*Tape
*Colored Spray Paint
*Glitter

Tip#1 When you buy the chalkboard paint, buy it at a hardware store like Lowes or Home Depot.  I bought my can at a store and paid $12 for the can.  Then I went to Lowes and found the SAME can for $5.  

Tip#2 For like $3 I found a trigger for the spray paint.  Sometimes my hand cramps when I am using cheaper cans of spray paint.  The trigger helps SO much.  It also feels better when I use the "nicer" spray paints like Krylon and Valspar.
