DIY Metallic Chalkboard Table Number

DIY Metallic Chalkboard Table Number

Alisa Lewis Event Design is going to show us how she made these metallic chalkboard table numbers from this tablescape she created. There’s nothing that couldn’t use a bit of gold metallic chalk paint, and I already have a list of things at home just for this. Thanks so much to Urban Rose Photo for these images!

  • use a medium paint brush to paint the chalkboard paint inside your stencil

  • Should the recipe be two parts paint to one part plaster? As written (for me at least) I couldn’t get it to mix – the paint almost seized up. Added more paint and it seemed to work ok. Other recipes I’ve tried suggest dissolving the plaster in water before adding the paint, so I was excited to try this version. Thanks for the tutorial – your planters look fabulous!
