Chalkboard Paint

When I was little, my mom would dress us up for Halloween in homemade costumes and take us trick-or-treating. One year I remember being a painter and using an empty paint can as my candy bag. When I saw this cute, simple paint-bucket candy bag on hgtv.com, it took me back. I could definitely see this being something my mom would’ve made for my sister and I.

Chalkboard paint can be used for so many other DIY projects. I've seen it used to paint:

- a wall in a child's play room
- a framed mirror
- kitchen cabinets (outside or inside)
- a kids dresser to label the drawers
- lots more!
