My son and I re-vamped this clay flower pot for his cactus plant. We used acrylic craft paint to paint the inside blue and the outside in white, giving it a two toned appearance.
After the paint dried, he applied glow in the dark paint on the outside surface. When the lights go out, it glows and for him that is an awesome effect. I have to admit, it really is! I couldn't get a good photo in the dark to show you, but you get the idea.

I also finished another chalkboard project similar to the large chalkboard I made a few months back on this post and since then, have painted the frame white. I have wanted a narrow chalkboard forever and with an extra piece of wood in the garage, I finally made one with my hub's help of course.
We used a flat wood board measuring about 14 x 47.5 inches. I painted the board with chalkboard paint.
Mr.M cut the angles on the frame and nailed them together. I then stained the frame and when it was dried, nailed it to the black board surface. The frame measures 15 x 48 inches.
Now all I have to do is make the frame look aged, I was inspired by this chalkboard. I should have done that before mounting it, but oh well.
I will make it look like antique wood later on & will post about it, so stay tuned.
We added a little art on the board to add a summer feel to our patio. This will be a
great little board for seasons and holidays.
Have you been enjoying your summer?
Happy Crafting!
