Chalkboard plate

Hello Ribbons Unlimited Inc  fans !!

Today I made a Pinterest inspired creation , it’s a chalkboard plate and I am using ribbon from Ribbons Unlimited Inc , today I am using the 1 1/2″ Polka Dot wired ribbon in Holiday Red with white dots and the 1 1/2″ Luxor in Gold wired ribbon.

I used a gold charger plate and painted 3 coats of chalkboard paint with a sponge brush on the center , let dry completely in between coats , then rub chalk over to condition it. I cut my snowflake and letter out in vinyl using my silhouette  , i made a bow at the bottom and wrapped my chalk in ribbon and added a glue dot so you can pull it off to change the days , I added a plate stand to display it on . Don’t you just love it , a great way to let the kiddos get involved and see the count down til the big man comes to visit …

Thanks so much for stopping by , leave me some feed back if you loved this project ,

I love hearing from my scrappy computer friends who love getting crafty : )
