Why did no one ever tell me how amazing chalkboard paint is?? No, seriously. It. Is. Awesome.
I had two of these plain pumpkins that were begging to be spruced up.
I came up with this brilliant idea to paint them with chalkboard paint so that I could draw on the jack-o'-lantern face, which is way easier than trying to carve a face on a real pumpkin.
The paint went on really easy, but I needed to paint a couple of coats since the paper covering on the pumpkins just soaked it up.
I'll be honest, when the paint dried, I expected it to have a crummy, cheap-chalkboard finish, but it ended up drying very smooth. And you really, really can write on it with chalk! It erases nicely, too.
I am a chalkboard paint enthusiast now. I wonder what else I can find to chalboard-ify? Hmmmm...
