Last week we had my parents visiting us and I couldn’t pass up on the chance to ask my super creative dad to colaborate with me in a DIY project for the blog. I found a great set of wood plates, and I always use them for picnics, but had an extra one ready to be used for something fun, so we came out with this idea while walking around our local craft store. I love how whimsical this cake stand looks, and would look great at a kid’s woodland theme party or baby shower. My dad’s chalk lettering skills came in handy for this photoshoot.

DIY Chalkboard Tray
A couple weeks ago, I drove by my favorite craft store, Hobby Lobby, and let me tell you, that place is so amazing that it makes every 25 miles trip to their closest store from my home worth it. I went inside to get a few things for a future DIY project, and could not pass up these beautiful gingham handles. Immediately I thought they would look great on a tray and why not a chalkboard tray. If needed, sand off any rough areas and wipe it clean for smooth surface. Apply 2 layers of chalkboard paint and let it dry for three hours.
