Chalkboard Paint

I had lots of chalkboard paint left over from our chalkboard glasses, here. We tried a couple more projects with it. First we made some chalkboard coasters. All you need are cheapie tiles from the hardware store and chalkboard paint to paint them with. Our tiles were about 40 cents a piece. I chose black tiles and put two layers of paint on them. Glue some felt cut to size on the backs and you're done!

M. made some microwave caramel popcorn for gifts, and we painted the tops of the recycled containers with chalkboard paint. It made a nice presentation. The recycled ice cream buckets could be re-used for other things later.
