A South Bay O.G. that blogs about Fashion + Food.
DIY + chalkboard bottles
photo's + DIY by the fashion gal
over the weekend my lovely mother & i hosted a bridal shower for one of my uber-fabulous-girlfriends! we planned a menu full of mexican appetizer's & greek entree's (the brides fave), filled the tables with an assortment of garden flowers n' candles, and gave these chalkboard painted bottles as the guests party favor! now once i heard of chalkboard paint i had 1,000 ideas pop into my head of things i could paint... and these sleek glass bottles were one of them! here is where i bought my bottles & my paint was from good ole Home Depot. now i only have 999 more things to paint with my new {& fabulous} chalkboard paint!
**check out more DIY ((do it yourselves)) here!
you'll also need... olive oil, rosemary, raffia ribbon, & chalk!
let's start taping...
take time for this step... taping each bottle can be tedious... but the outcome is worth it!
paint your first coat horizontal & the second coat vertically... see your paint can for more instruction.
and voila! not such a bad bridal shower gift, right!?
all the gals seemed pretty happy with their new chalkboard-olive-oil!
... and all the bride's family got to each take home one of these pretty jars full of flowers!
how was your weekend?
(( ps: happy tax day. ))
