DIY Chalkboard Paint Ideas
Chalkboard paint has become all the rage. And these DIY chalkboard paint ideas are no exception. I love using chalkboard paint to create unique home decor pieces.
It’s so easy to personalize upcycled bottles or makeover furniture and other home objects with chalkboard paint. In fact the possibility of DIY chalk board ideas are seemingly endless.
Upcycled DIY Chalkboard Painted Bottles
I love this idea for spray painting wine bottles and then personalizing them with a faux label or design.

These DIY chalkboard paint bottles can be used simply as decorative home accent pieces, vases for your favorite flowers or even as pricing structures for store products.
DIY Chalkboard Paint Ideas
Following are a few more of my favorite DIY chalkboard paint ideas that are easy to craft and simple to love!
1. Chalkboard Door. This door is painted with magnetic chalkboard paint making it perfect for the kitchen or office. Write notes or pin schedules, coupons and recipes with a magnet! (Source.)
2. Chalkboard Sign. Create a mini sign to show the way to your wedding or party. (Source.)
3. Chalkboard Storage Cabinet. Cover your child’s cabinet or night stand with chalkboard paint and provide them with a place they can safely draw on the furniture! Or spice oup your own furniture thrift store finds and create decorative drawings that match your decor and can be changed whenever the mood strikes. (Source.)
4. Framed Chalkboard. Re-purpose an old frame or mirror with a bit of paint, then hang on your wall for a handy spot to keep notes. (Source.)
5. Custom Color Chalkboard Paint. Customize your chalkboard paint by mixing white chalkboard paint in with the black. Use the different colors to create a memo board or calendar that can be re-used time and again. (Source.)
6. Chalkboard Labels. Use chalkboard paint to create unique labels such as these which have been spiced up with a little DecoArt Thick Texture Paint. Adhere to jars and containers. (Source.)
7. Chalkboard Serving Tray. Cover a tray with chalkboard paint to make serving fun! (Source.)

Great ideas! Can you actually buy chalk paint in a spray form, do you know? And where do you get it from? Hardware stores? Craft stores??

Rust-Oleum sells it in spray can. You should be able to find it at hardware or craft stores but it may depend on your location. It is sold at Amazon online though.

Some fabulous ideas. I admit to a bit of an addiction to chalkboard paint. Working on a message/calendar board right now.

You can buy it at Lowes in quarts. It’s Valspar latex chalkboard paint. If you want it lightened, too, you can ask the paint dept employees to add tint to it. (I work at Lowes in the paint dept.)

Thank you for the inspiring photos of what you can do with chalkboard paint! Have you ever tried any of these using chalk paint? I’ve used it on furniture several times, but not on bottles…does the chalkboard paint scrape off the glass easily?
