It's a great way to add an unexpected twist to home decor.
Nowadays you can use chalkboard paint to turn almost anything into something you can write on. In this installment of Craft Wars, two expert crafters share their ideas for incorporating the chalkboard trend into their home.
First up, Jenny from Hank & Hunt made chalkboard butter bell place settings.
Here's how she did it. (So simple!)
Gather your supplies. All you'll need is a mini butter bell, chalkboard spray paint, and chalk.
Wash and dry your butter bell, then take the top piece outside to paint. Place it on a piece of cardboard or paper. Spray evenly with two light coats of chalkboard paint, allowing time to dry between coats. Let the paint to cure according to the directions on the can.
Gently rub the painted top with chalk and dust it off. This 'conditions' the chalk to prevent ghosting. Write names on the tops, insert a treat, and place at a table setting. Since the inside of the butter bell is glass, edibles are OK!
