How to make a chalkboard paint coated set of wall hooks.

I now have no excuses for forgetting! I am constantly dashing out the door and forgetting something behind so I wanted to make a little chalkboard / key hook that I could hang in my office.I have been obsessed with chalkboard paint since it became readily available. Chalkboard paint turns almost any surface into a chalkboard. It is very easy to use and is available in tons of different colors. I love the traditional black/slate color for this project.I whipped it up in just a few hours (including dry time) and I got the seal of approval from my hubby – he promptly hung his motorcycle keys on the hook.

[Editor's Note: Janssen from Everyday Reading made a goal for herself to live more vibrantly this year. This goal includes her wardrobe. A white shirt was rescued from her Goodwill pile and resurrected to new levels of cuteness with a just a spool of trim and a bit of sewing. I have the sudden urge to go through my T-shirt drawer and see what kind of magic I can whip up. - Jen]  Read more
