Kids Chalk Table

I got this table off the free section on craigslist. It was not very pretty.

At first I was going to sand it down and totally revamp it.

After a few strokes of standing I realized never EVER sand black paint. It was all over me and made the worst mess! Not worth the hassle.

So when I left it sit a few days. When I was at walmart I saw the chalkboard paint and picked up a $1 can of black spray paint. I spray painted the legs and used one coat of the chalkboard paint and it tuurned out perfect! My kids love it!

Memoribilia of Lowes Build and Grow

My son is only three but he enjoyed this project so much! He talked about how "he" made it with a hammer for days! They gave him this little patch and, well, since I cant sew... this had to do!! I have it displayed on his dresser and soon intend on displaying it on a shelf with many others to come. It is such a fun and cute thing to do with your kids!

How to Make Cheap Decor for Kids Room

This was the easiest project ever!! And it totally makes a great birthday present or baby shower present.




















What you will need:

I bought the $1 wood plaques from Michaels. Then I went through all there little wood animals. The ones with felt and are already painted I think were $.47 depending on size. Some of them you can paint yourself. Depends how creative you want to be. The white sticker letters I found in the clearance bin for $1. And lastly you will need a hot glue gun. I bought a mini hot glue gun because they have packs of mini glue sticks at the dollar store.

How to:
I used folkArt acrylic paint to paint the plaque color of my choice. It only needed one coat except for the yellow, needed two.

I then hot glued the animals on.

And then applied the stickers. For Aven's name I had to use permanent marker to make them black because you couldnt see white on the yellow.

Screw in your saw tooth hangers and its finished.

Waaaala!! The easiest project ever!!

Total cost:
Wood plaque- $1
Paint- $.97 or on hand
Hot glue- on hand
Animal- Under $1
Hanger- On hand
