About: I am married with two children. Spring, summer, and fall are my very favorite times of the year. I enjoy working in the yard, sewing, cooking, quilting, gardening, and creating. I do this to keep my sanity.
Here is another one of my Chalk Board projects. I love working with this paint. For this particular project; I decided not to use chalk on them, instead I used Slick paint for the lettering. This paint has a great texture and classy look.
Step 1: Supplies
2 Empty Corona bottles
2 Bottle caps
Funnel optional
Salt

Black Chalk Paint
White Slick paint
Small shallow container
