Make It Monday: Jumbo Ladybug Chalkboard
This jumbo chalkboard is a great craft to make just in time for back to school. Today for many kids here in Georgia, they will be heading back to class. With their busy schedules it’s nice to have a place in your home to post reminders, or words of encouragement. Julie Lewis, one of Plaid’s talented designers, made this project. Create this chalkboard using FolkArt acrylic paint, FolkArt chalkboard paint, and FolkArt extreme glitter. This is a great project perfect for all craft levels. Here’s to a great school year!
