Chalkboard Wall Art with Neon Chalk Markers!

 Chalkboard Wall Art with Neon Chalk Markers! 2 great motto's! Have Courage and Be Kind & Always be Kind, Have a good attitude and Never give up!  First I found these 2 flower wall art things at the thrift store...  I spray painted them black.  Let dry completely.  Then I coated them with Clear chalkboard coating. I did it this way because I had all the supplies on hand. If I was purchasing supplies, I'd just get the chalkboard paint or spray and do it once.  Roll it on and let it dry completely. Says 24 hours to cure.  Season the writing surface with the edge of chalk.  Erase the chalk. Wipe with dry cloth.  Now write all the things! I was sent these Chalk Markers by Beary Genius  at a discounted rate in exchange for this review. All opinions are my own. #bearygeniuslaunchpromotion They write so smooth...not skippy like chalk. They have reversible tips, but I left mine as the chisel tips....

Rock Puff Paint Place Markers!

 Rock Puff Paint Place Markers! This is a fun craft for kids! They can help make the place tags...or use them when they set the table!  Have your kids collect small rocks about the same size and shape...or not! Pick as many as you need! Paint them all a solid color and let them dry completely.  Use Puff Paint dimensionals and just write names on them...  Let them dry overnight completely. They will look the exact same when they are dry...so be sure to give them plenty of drying time.  They look great set at the table. I let whichever kid sets the table decide where everyone sits...it doesn't have to be the same everyday! Fun for a party too! This post published on Doodlecraft first 

Neon Sharpie Hair Bows! Hot Glue Gun Week!

 Make adorable and trendy NEON hair bows or bowties!  This is a great tween/teen craft project! We did it at a Young Women (12-18) activity! But my 9 and 11 year old did some too. And as long as an adult is on the hot glue gun,  any age kiddos can do this.  We started with thin, non stretchy white material.  About 8 by 10-12 inches. (you can do smaller, you will just get a smaller bow...) Stretchy material would work, but you'll have to hold it tight while coloring. You could use old t-shirts...sheets, tablecloths, whatever... I'm all about recycling and free. Use Sharpies or permanent markers to color on the fabric! It's like watercoloring because the ink bleeds a little. Any pattern you like! And you only need to fill the center about 6 inches wide and 4 or 5 inches tall.  The girls loved to do trendy patterns... chevrons, arrows, anchors! But one girl just scribbled all over hers,  and really, it turned out the ...
