Featuring [My C,H,C=LIFE!]

 

Hello ALL this is a post from

Cassidy!

At My Crazy Hectic Crafty life!

She found an idea for utensil holders from Crafts by Amanda & we ran with the idea! Here’s what we did!

Brandi Jo and I went to Dollar Tree in search of some containers and when we found these we knew they would be perfect.  So I went ahead and bought 3 of them.

We decided we wanted to use chalkboard paint and Chalk Ink to write Cook, Serve, and Bake.

We started by measuring 3 inches down from the top and made a dot with a black sharpie.  Then measured another 2 inches down and made another dot with a black sharpie.  We did this 3 times on each glass container.

After we had everything measured we used painters tape and ran the tape along the measured out dots.

Since we had the dots it ensured that everything was in line.

After we got the painters tape around the center portion we covered the rest of the containers with newspaper.

We took the containers outside and sprayed one coat of chalkboard paint on them and waited for them to dry.

Once they were dry we added some purple damask packing tape onto the bottom of the containers.

After placing the tape on, Brandi Jo wrote the words onto the chalkboard paint in Chalk Ink makers!

We decided it needed a little bit more.  So we added some sequins that Brandi Jo had underneath the chalkboard paint.

I love the way they turned out.

This will spruce up my kitchen and actually be very functional.

This was such a fun project and I am so glad Brandi Jo and I were able to work on it together!

Thank you Amanda for giving me the inspiration.

    Hi Brandi-

    I like what you did with the vases - very clever. I love the added detail of the packing tape - it really makes them unique. Did you find that at the crafts store or did you buy it online?
