AllFreeChristmasCrafts Giveaway: Black Chalkboard Paint

by 6 Comments

Black Chalkboard Paint Giveaway

Black Chalkboard Paint

Christmas crafting is always more fun when the crafts have a personal touch, and black chalkboard paint is the perfect way to achieve that handmade feel. Not only can you use this versatile paint to color gift boxes, ornaments, Christmas decorations, and more, but you can then write on the painted project with chalk! Tailor these crafts to any occasion or person you’d like, because you can draw any appropriate words or images on your chalkboard paint craft creations. AllFreeChristmasCrafts is giving away three cans of Krylon’s Black Chalkboard Paint! You could win!

The chalkboard paint is incredibly easy to use. Select your wood, metal, glass, plaster, or ceramic surface, apply two coats, and wait approximately 24 hours for the paint to fully dry. Follow the detailed instructions on the back of the can to create a slate-like chalkboard surface of up to twelve square feet per can. If you love the look of a chalkboard surface, you will love the results you will get from using this fabulous paint. Personalize your Christmas projects to perfection when you use chalkboard paint to create a unique writing surface.

AllFreeChristmasCrafts Giveaway: Green Chalkboard Paint

by 8 Comments

Krylon Green Chalkboard Paint

Chalkboards in classrooms are becoming more and more obsolete. In fact, have you heard of “smart boards”? Soon chalkboards and dry erase boards will become a thing of the past. Yet chalkboards still have a variety of uses in the Christmas crafting world. Chalkboard paint crafts are only increasing in popularity. Craft ideas featuring green chalkboard paint continue to spring into existence, and why wouldn’t they? Not only can crafters paint the projects, but when finished, they can draw temporary designs on them with chalk. AllFreeChristmasCrafts is giving away three cans of Krylon’s Green Chalkboard Paint! You could win!

Chalkboard paint crafts are particularly popular in Christmas crafting because there are so many ornament crafts, gift wrap ideas, and handmade Christmas decorations that work well with chalkboard paint. For example, you can make a creative gift box with chalkboard paint. You would first paint a papier mache box with chalkboard paint, and then decorate the box with chalk. Write out the name of the loved one who will be receiving the gift, and feel free to add chalk drawings of Christmas trees, angels, and whatever other Christmas icons you’d like. That is just one example of a Christmas craft that is made so much more unique with chalkboard paint.

AllFreeChristmasCrafts.com is giving away three cans of Krylon’s Green Chalkboard Paint to a lucky winner. You could win!

Contest ends October 22, 2013. You can enter once daily, return often to improve your chances of winning!

Make Your Crafts Sparkle with New eBook from FaveCrafts and Krylon

by Leave a Comment

I think we can all agree that things are just better when they have a bit of sparkle and shine to them.  Am I right?

Whether it’s a shimmery shirt or shiny wall art, there’s something about sparkle that just seems to bring a smile to people’s faces.

As crafters, we’re probably the most keenly aware of this idea since crafting is all about making things pop.  No matter what we’re making, adding a bit of glitter and shimmer always helps   🙂

Our friends at Krylon are totally on board with the sparkle trend and have just released a brand new eBook full of glittery craft projects.  Download a free copy of the How to Create 14 Sparkly Craft Projects Using Krylon Glitter Blast eBook to discover all of their cool ideas!

Download the How to Create 14 Sparkly Craft Projects Using Krylon Glitter Blast eBook today!

Seriously, you won’t believe the amazing things that you can do with a can of glittery spray paint.  I know I sure didn’t!   Some examples:  Did you know that you can decorate your Easter eggs using a coat of dazzling Glitter Blast paint?  Also you can use the paint to add some sparkle to other holiday decorations like pinecones for Christmas and pumpkins for Halloween.  So cool!  You can even paint a metal mailbox with Krylon’s Glitter Blast paint!  Your neighbors will all be very jealous!

But perhaps my favorite idea in the Glitter Blast eBook is the Glimmering Guitar.  How awesome would it be to give a custom paint job for guitars and other instruments?  Rock stars and musicians definitely need a healthy dose of glitter for when they’re on stage!  I’m going to take my nephew’s guitar and turn it into a shimmery black masterpiece just as soon as I’m done writing this blog post!

Want to discover these ideas and more?  Get your glitter on by downloading a free copy of the How to Create 14 Sparkly Craft Projects Using Krylon Glitter Blast eBook right now!
