Brayden is mobile now and keeps me running all over the house. He ROLLS faster than a normal human walks, and he vanishes with the ease of houdini. One second he's in the living room with me and the next I hear Kien's toybox in his bedroom topple over. He's trapped in his highchair right now ;). Anyways because of Brayden's constant movement and his need for attention, the only projects I've been able to fit in during the day are small ones. This one that I did yesterday took me away from the boys for less than five minutes TOTAL, and that included the four times I went back to the project. It also cost me NOTHING since I already had the materials.
The picture is self-explanatory so I really don't feel the need to instruct or caption. I ultimately did four coats of chalkboard paint on the jar, and let the final layer dry 20 hours before using chalk on it. I probably should had sanded the jar a little bit to rough it up, but I didn't think of that until I was putting on the second coat.
TA DA :)
I love this idea. It would totally keep my husband from asking me "what's in the jar?" all the time! (or confusing veggie soup base with protein powder ie. grossest breakfast ever)!
