I was recently in need of business cards for my
Mind Ruffle shop on Etsy, so I recycled some old cards in a new way. Using spare chalkboard paint from my basement, I was able to give these old cards a new face, and repurpose them for my shop. See how I did it here:
 |
| 1) I gathered my materials: business cards, chalkboard paint, sponge applicator, chalk, chalkboard eraser, and a permanent marker. |
 |
| 2) After stirring the chalkboard paint thoroughly, I collected a little paint on the tip of my sponge. |
 |
| 3) Then in three even strokes, I covered the card with the chalkboard paint,... |
 |
| 4) ...waited til the paint was dry to the touch (you can add another coat if needed)... |
 |
| 5)... , and wiped them down with a used chalkboard eraser to provide a chalky surface for the writing to stick to. |
 |
| 6) Now, I can write and erase on these cards, or even add my shop's website on the back with permanent marker. |
There are lots of ways to get creative with this concept, so try it out and see where your creativity takes you!
