Chalkboard Necklace

Here is a super cute, inexpensive, easy and fun craft  :)

Here's what you need:

Little Wood Shapes (Square, Rectangle, Heart, Circle, etc) from the wood section of your Craft Store

Jewelry Bail

Necklace (Yarn, Hemp, Chain, Ribbon, etc)

Chalkboard Spray Paint

Chalk :)

Step one:

Lay down some newspaper outside and spray your wood pieces. The one I'm using is a rectangle, it's about 2"x1.5".  I have also used the hearts, those are adorable.

I spray two coats, it dries pretty quickly.

Step 2:

After the paint is dry, glue on your bail to the back.  

I like to use E6000 glue for gluing on bails.

Step 3:

Add your necklace and color on your new Chalkboard Necklace!

I chose to use a St Patrick's Day theme, I don't want to get pinched!

This is so much fun for kids, you can change it up everyday, or for each holiday.

Put your initial on it, a smiley face, your favorite jersey number...the list goes on and on.

The wooden pieces are super cheap, a package is usually under a dollar and you get several pieces in the package depending on what shape you choose.

The brand of Chalkboard Spray Paint I used was: 

Rust-Oleum Black Chalkboard Spray Paint

Here are a couple other projects I've posted on my blog in the past using this spray paint:

Chalkboard Paint Easel

Chalkboard Door Hanger

You could also glue a magnet to the back  instead of the bail and make it a refrigerator magnet instead of a necklace!

Have a great day 

and 

Happy Crafting!
