Chalk it Up to Creativity

I am a big fan of chalk and chalkboard anything. Back in my younger days we used blackboards with that obnoxious squeaking chalk and the dust that made you sneeze. So I have a special, personal connection to it.

I am going to do a few tutorials on chalk. I have many uses for my chalk. Here are a few:
- Pattern pieces for Sewing. I use white chalk to write on colored or patterned fabric and colored chalk for white fabric.
- Hemming or tailoring clothes, to mark where you want to size it to
- If you have a chalkboard (my mom is a second grade teacher, so we have them hanging around the house), it's fun to write messages.
- If you don't, I'm gonna teach you to make your own! WOAH! DIY to the rescue!

On that note, I also love chalkboard paint. For those of you who don't know, chalkboard paint is paint that creates a chalkboard surface when dry. You can get it at any hardware store or I'm going to show you how to make your own. I love it for notebooks, to label jars, door hangers, etc.

Some examples:
