Directions
- Collect your supplies. Most of these supplies can be found for a dollar or less (except spray paint). The hands are from Dollar Tree and Chalkboard/Chalk Pen are from Target’s Dollar Spot. Halloween is the perfect holiday for cheap crafts!
- Apply a few even layers of silver spray paint over the hands. Everything looks better with metallic spray paint, including cheap plastic skeleton hands!
- Apply a liberal amount of hot glue to the back of the hands and affix in place around the black chalkboard. You can always go back and add more glue if you need to. Can you tell someone’s a little trigger happy with her glue gun?!
- Use your chalk pen to create a design in the center. A word of warning: chalk pens don’t erase very well and will leave a slight “ghost” imprint. (If you look closely at my center you’ll see the first “Boo!” design I wrote but ended up trying to erase.)
- Attach string to the back if needed. My little chalkboard actually came with a hanging handle so that was super “handy”!
