Chalkboard Art Ornaments

I have been loving all of the chalkboard art that I have been seeing around the blogosphere lately.   After making up our fall chalkboard, I did a little chalkboard sign for our hot cocoa bar.  It's really quite addicting so I had to come up with another chalkboard project....

I must say that this is the most fun that I have had with a project in a long time!  Since this little tree is in our piano room, the mini chalkboards are all based on Christmas songs.

MATERIALS

• Chalk Board Spray Paint
• Wood Pieces {found at the dollar store and Michaels}
• baker's twine or ribbon
• a chalk pen or chalk {the chalk pen is SO much easier!!}
• jingle bells {optional}

TO DO

• Place the wood pieces on wax paper and spray with chalk board paint.  I did 3 coats on each side.
• Have fun doodling on your wood pieces. I found some chalkboard inspiration here and here.  Keep some Q-tips handy and a glass of water to dip it in to act as a little eraser!
• Punch or drill a hole.  {I used my Crop-O-Dile}
• Add some jingle bells if you like and hang with twine!

NOTE: If you do not have chalk board paint, you could just paint the wood pieces black {or even use mini canvases} and just use a white pen to write on it.  Just a little harder to erase though! :)

I placed the one larger chalkboard piece at the base of the tree.  It would also sit nicely between the branches in a larger tree.

I just might have to do up a few more!

There will be lots more handmade tree ornaments featured all week so don't forget to check back daily!  The Creative Spark will still be on tomorrow night - I would love to see any ornaments that you have created!
