This chalkboard was a Homegoods find a few months back. The hands fell off somewhere between the store and the car, I didn't care I LOVE it anyway. One day I will get new ones...
What I really love are the clips on the side. Clothespins attached to a thick piece of twine threaded through holes drilled in the top and bottom and knotted in the back. Usually I have the little ones artwork on display but we changed it up for Valentine's Day.
Be sure to stop by SIXTY-FIFTH AVENUE to show off your creative chalkboards and to be inspired!

UPDATE: The"buy me" buttons no longer work...not being a HTML wizard I can't figure out what went wrong...I checked and re-checked...anywhoo...rather than scrap the entire post and the past two hours of my life if you see something you just can't live without visit tinselshop.com and click CELEBRATIONS to make your final purchase.

I absolutely love these little cards by Bethany Lowe Designs. Last year I decided to make ornaments for my feather tree.
Start with a box of valentines, any cute card will do.
First, cut the card apart.
Create a cardboard template that is about 1/2" smaller than the card.
Cut out and adhere cardboard to card using double stick tape.
(Cardboard acts as a guide for the crepe paper ruffle and a spacer between the front and back of the ornament)
Next, spread glue (Mod Podge works great) onto the card (away from the cardboard). Fold crepe paper in half and gather around the cardboard template creating the ruffle.
To hang the ornament attach a piece of ribbon to the un-ruffled card using double stick tape.I used a 7" piece of double faced satin ribbon. Then spread Mod Podge to the cardboard heart and put the two sides together.
This set of cards is listed in my eBay store and will also be available at tinselshop.com later in the week.
