{chalkboard plate...menu style}


The very first question my son asks when he wakes up, and then again when he comes in the door from school (and every 30 minutes during the summer), is "What's for dinner?".
After seeing this adorable plate on my friend Linsey's blog, I knew I had found the answer.
It's the perfect thing for my kitchen, and Ryan can see it as soon as he comes in the door!

ITEMS YOU'LL NEED:

-a really cute plate.
-chalkboard spray paint
-painters' tape

DIRECTIONS:

-Tape off the edges of your plate with painters' tape.

-Following directions on can, spray first coat.
-I waited 20 minutes, then sprayed another coat.
-Let cure for 24 hours, remove tape.
