My mom reminded me of the cheese-and-wine placemats she had given me after seeing a chalkboard idea I liked. I was no longer using their original theme, so I brought them out for a paint makeover.
Two coats of chalkboard paint
I used chalkboard paint from Walmart’s craft section, letting the first coat dry before applying the second.
A surface I could change again
The new finish let me write on the mats and change them for different uses. The final photo shows my first lettering on the painted surface.
My chalkboard teacher-gift pots use the finish on terracotta. The laundry-room makeover includes another repurposed chalkboard surface.
