All Things Ali

Hey Crafters! Ali here. Valentines Day is only a few short weeks away, so I wanted to share a fun DIY activity that is perfect for all ages: Chalkboard Conversation Hearts!

 

The best part? It is SO easy and SO inexpensive! I have a small obsession with chalkboard paint, so I found a recipe where you can make it at home in any color you choose!

 

Here’s what you need:

1 bottle (2oz) of Acrylic Paint- $1.29 at The Wood Connection

½ Tablespoon Non-Sanded Grout (I found this at home depot. Make sure it is un-sanded & you get the white color.)

Mixing Spoons & Paint Brushes

Mix one bottle of paint with ½ tablespoon of grout and you are ready to go!

The hearts I used are sold at The Wood Connection for only $.99!

Simply paint each heart front & back. Let it dry completely.

 

Once it is dry (At least 20 minutes) you can write any message with chalk!

 

We had such a fun afternoon making these! It took less than an hour, and each heart turns out being less than $1.50. Hope you all try it!

 

See you next month!

XOXO
