Repurpose Anything into Handmade Magnetic Chalkboards even Pumpkins

Is that a chalkboard pumpkin? 

Why yes it is a chalkboard pumpkin, why do you ask?

That's Right, anything can make a chalkboard. It started with a kitchen wall for my pre-schoolers. I hadn't discovered magnetic paint yet. I bought a black can of chalkboard paint (green didn't go with my decor) and painted an entire wall. It made a fun, new place to teach spelling and math for our homeschoolers.  Enjoy!

Make a Plastic Pumpkin Painted with Chalkboard Paint.

That's our chalkboard on the wall behind Jake.

It's Kitschy ~ I signed into Etsy and saw someone selling horse statues they had painted with chalkboard paint. Well, a light went off in my head. I love to create 'stuff' from junk. I repurpose everything I can to help make the world a better place. :) 

How to make a magnetic chalkboard pumpkin 
for fun fall homeschool lessons.

Well, hello there, proud, magnetic pumpkin!

Start with a plastic pumpkin. You can find them at Michael's and JoAnn's. Sand the pumpkin lightly so the paint will take hold.  Then add 2-3 layers of magnetic paint. It is imperative that you let it dry 24 hours between coats. When magnets stick to it you're done.

Paint a chalkboard on your wall like this one behind Mayhem.



You can eve make your own magnets from re-purposed puzzle pieces painted with a silly character. I have so many advertiser's magnets (flat ones from doctor's offices). I cut them up and hot glue them to the backs of things. Here are some cool magnets from the NURTURE STORE.

Originally, I used a can of chalkboard paint and a brush. Then, I discovered chalkboard spray paint...  Awesome!  I had concerns that it would run, but it was excellent and left no messy brush strokes! Again, you must wait 24 hours between coats. Patience is a virtue for a reason. I used two coats allowing it to dry for 24 hours before prepping for chalk. To prep, color the entire item with chalk and let it set overnight. Wipe clean with a damp cloth.

How to Decorate Kid's Room with Rubber Stamps

Whimsical Kids' Room Decor with Rubber Stamp as the Tool

How to decorate kid's room with rubber stamps: Purchase some cute rubber stamps, your favorite color of ink, and stamp a border around your kid's room. Color it in with crayons for a whimsical flare or use permanent markers. If you want the crayons to last, you can cover with a strip of clear contact paper or spray with a clear sealant. We're sharing our kids bathroom decor idea. Enjoy!

The Rubber Stamps make an artsy outline to color with crayons or paint to decorate as a border for a whimsical kid's room.

Velcro is attached to the wall and to the back of the book, glue ribbon to flaps and tie closed for wall art, and then you can pull the book off the wall to read.

A lone valance in my favorite color periwinkle was the inspiration. Hang a curtain rod over the toilet and add a fun kids curtain for a splash of color. We have high ceilings, so we hung fabric flowers from the ceiling and let them dangle at 7 feet.  

What's your whimsy? Tell us you two cents and share your ideas in the comments.
