So I really like the idea of unusual chalkboards
and
I had these platters - dontcha just love the scalloped edge of this square platter? {Snagged this one at the good old goodwill!}
I knew I’d like to try to use it as a chalkboard…
But…
I like the platters & didn’t know that I’d ALWAYS want them to be
chalkboarded
(new word – like that?)
So I decided to do a temporary chalkboard addition.
Here’s how I did it:
1. I took CLEAR contact paper (from Target)
2. Spray painted it with a couple coats of chalkboard paint
3. Created a template out of newspaper the size of the inner portion of the platter
4. Traced the template on the back of the spray painted contact paper
5. Cut it out, removed the backing & placed on the platter.
When I’m done with my chalkboard phase – I’ll still have my lovely platter – just peel & toss!
inspiration a la Pottery Barn:
and I just love, love this image!

What a smart idea! I like how the finish is a lot smoother than the hand painted ones. THanks

Thx for the contact paper idea! I snagged a great big oval mirror in a frame that I want to paint and do chalkboard on the mirror but wondered if someday I might want the mirror back...your contact paper idea solves this dilemma!
