I am done with goody bags...just done. So this year for their party, I decided it would be nice to give each kid a favor....something made for them. I hunted around online and found an idea for personal little chalkboards. I shopped around and went to work. On and off it took about 2 weeks, but it could have gone faster if I worked on them every night.
The boards I bought (and had cut) only had chalkboard surface on one side, so I painted the other with chalkboard paint.
Then I was able to put some old paint samples to good use. Using painters tape, taped borders and painted various pastel colors.
And then the name writing....
Bought some chalk, wrapped them in little bundles and the whole thing turned out nicely.
It was a lot more work than a goody bag, but very fulfilling to make something you really like (even if you don't get to keep it).
