How about some chalkboard hearts?

Last Fall I added bits of cork to lots of my projects.  In these winter months I've become obsessed with chalkboard.  Who knows what the spring will bring.

I've had these little Valentine heart ornaments for a few years.  

I decided they needed a change!  

I started with some primer.  

Well, actually I tried to paint them without the primer first, but the paint just wouldn't stick without it.  

Lesson learned. 

After a coat of primer, I put on a couple coats of chalkboard paint.

After drying and a little doodling, here are the little cuties...

I like that I can put whatever messages I want on them.   

Wouldn't it make a perfect little valentine for a teacher?!

 

I painted one white and added some mod podge and glitter...just to see how it would look. 

I think I really like them this way too!

I think I'll be making some more glitter ones, too!
