Chalkboard Crosses
It’s Spring Hop week and the spring ideas will be flowing! All week long the other hostesses will be sharing ideas and then on Friday I hope you’ll comeback and link your spring posts. AND definitely come back and check out the great ideas!
I didn’t have time to do a long, complicated project, but I was in the mood for something new. I especially wanted to add something Christ honoring. When I saw little wooden crosses at the craft store I knew what I could do.
I got out my chalkboard paint and painted them….couldn’t be easier.
When you make your own chalkboards, be sure to “season” them before you write on them. Take a piece of chalk and rub the cross all over with the side of the chalk. Then erase it and your cross is ready to be written on.
After Easter I will erase the words and write something else on them. I can think of lots of ways to use these!
I think they’d be pretty hanging with a collection of different crosses, or for a wedding, Christmas….so many uses!
Come back on Friday and join the party!

Hi Lisa! New to your blog (Lindsay from Makely sent me over!) and loving what I see! Especially these cute little crosses. Oh, and whatever is on the wall behind. Since I’m new, I’m not sure what you used. Is it wallpaper? Stencil?
Hi Abbie! It’s so great to meet you! I love Lindsay….she’s the best!
I painted the verse on the wall behind the couch. Here’s a link to that post: http://50.87.248.66/~thepenp8/2011/09/how-i-painted-a-scripture-on-my-wall/
