Recycled Chalkboard Business Card

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!
