#Cre8time to Hide the Ugly... #DIY Home Beautification by Aimée Wheaton

I have Happy Resin Caps!

Hello creatives! I scored an amazingly large chalkboard a few years ago from a local framer shop for FREE!! I waited until we had the right home to hang it up. I lovingly repainted it at Christmas time and wrote a Christmas blessing to my girls on it in what I thought was chalk markers, well they stained the board and I now have to repaint it. So for this project excuse the message on the board, I couldn't find a roller brush to repaint it for photos but you will get the idea.

 

This chalkboard had to mounted by drilling through the wood sides for a secure mount. Because of that we had to fill the holes in with wood putty. It didn't look the best so I decided to make some resin covers or caps to cover the wood putty and make it look pretty. I used vintage buttons, Amazing Mold Putty, Alumidust and Amazing Casting Resin.

Vintage buttons...

Cast resin buttons to match covering up the ugly!
All you need is a bit of glue...

   

to go from blah to beautiful!

All Finished! :)

I love how it turned out! I may end up making more just to make it a little bit funky but will keep it this way for awhile to see how I feel :)

I See SIGNS Everywhere! AMAZING Mini Chalkboard Signs by Brenda Lee Burfeind

Good day all, Brenda here to give you some inspiration for today. As some of you know my JOB is that I am a Mary Kay Consultant (which in reality really isn't a JOB because I love what I do) and I'm always looking for creative ways to promote specials I am having. I had a Vendor Fair this last weekend and thought it would be fun to have a few chalkboards to promote the sales of some of my items. I've looked around and you can find them for anywhere of $3 and up, but the small ones I found where still a bit "too big" for my taste, so how about making your own? 

Starting with a mold that I made using the Amazing Mold Putty and my old "Hallmark" badge (yes, that is another JOB I have) I created the perfect size sign for my pallet. Then I used the two-part Amazing Casting Resin to cast the sign. It only takes a few minutes to set up after mixing the two parts together.

I bought some chalkboard paint and gave it a few coats and within minutes I've created the perfect chalkboard that I can adjust to whatever sale I want! 

I even made one out of a heart mold...

I created the little stand to put my chalkboard on out of tiny Popsicle sticks. 

What would you make chalkboards for?
