My Creative Space - Creative Collective - Green or Green Project

This month I have been working on my project for the Creative Collective Green or Green Project. You may have seen my little teaser last week in my Creative Space post. Well I have finally finished them and here is the finished product - chalkboard place mats!

I have needed some new placemats for a while now (I have been borrowing my mums for about a year now whenever we had a dinner party!) but I was hesitent to splurge on them because they are really quite expensive. I picked up this set of 6 placements from my local Vinnies for $4 (I think they had touristy photos of London on them but I forgot to take a photo before I painted them), then I simply applied one coat of basecoat and two coats on chalkboard paint which I had already had at home for my chalkboard gift tags (did you like that subtle plug there!)

I am really happy with how they turned out (if I say so myself!) and I have another 6 round ones all lined up ready to be painted to complete my set of 12.
