DIY Inspiration: Chalkboard glass

Today’s DIY inspiration comes from Alaska Crafter and they are very nifty chalkboard glasses. Chalkboard paint is very interesting and can be used in so many different ways. Sure makes for easy labels for all those jars in the pantry.

I made my dry erase board! I used a frame from Ikea, the whole surface is just glass, and I lined it with some wintery scrapbooking paper I had laying around… turned out pretty cute :)

I’m itching to DIY so bad! This project seems like a fun one, block printing on fabric. This shirt looks like it was bleached first and then stamped with a turtle design. Kinda hippie so I’m loving it!
