With the holidays kicking off next week I have been hard at work putting together all kinds of simple and creative projects to share this holiday season! First up, a simple project to add something special to those holiday tables.
This year I thought it would fun to make something that guests could take away with them from Thanksgiving dinner (or any party or event)- a little chalkboard inspired favor with uplifting quotes about gratitude!
Supplies-
Mini canvas
Mini easel- both typically sold at craft stores
Mod Podge
Acrylic paint
- I started by painting the canvas with black acrylic paint.
- Next I gathered a variety of quotes about gratitude and used photoshop to create a chalkboard inspired design. If I had time I would have loved to hand letter everything but lets be honest- that is A LOT of work. Using photoshop and my collection of cool fonts was really fast and easy. My favorite source for fonts is myfonts
- I cut out my design and using Mod Podge I glued it to the canvas. I finished it off with a good coat of Mod Podge over the top. TIP: using your finger on that top coat smooths everything out.
- The last step was to paint the little easels in a variety of colors.

LOVE LOVE THESE!!! Great quotes too!
Fantastic! I did not comment the other day, but must also mention how much I loved the candle-jars with tissue paper and sharpie. I plan to do these with my kids for a winter tablescape (collecting jars first!). I'm a big fan, Alisa, and am looking forward to your upcoming DIYs. Thank you for sharing your inspiration.
Love it!
Wow! Cool project! Here is another one you may like. Grow a Pet TickleMe Plant from seeds and watch how the leaves fold and the branches fall down when you Tickle It! Just search pet TickleMe Plant
