Planning a party - Chalkboard Appetizer Labels

One of my good friends from work is getting married so we decided to celebrate her with a bachelorette party/wedding shower! It is less than a week away and I am trying to do a lot of the work a head of time, since Anne is coming in town to join in on the celebration!! As I scanned my "to do" list I decided that making appetizer labels was something that I could do a week before the party. After doing some searching on Pinterest I decided that I would do so by making mini chalkboards. 


I took at quick trip to Michaels and left with small frames, chalkboard paint and some spray paint (to repaint the frames).  Karen (the bachelorette) is fun, spunky and energetic, so I thought that pink would be the perfect color theme for the party (along with black and charcoal grey). 

 - I started by spray painting the frames the fun pink color.

 
- Then I painted the inside portion of the frame with chalkboard paint such as Martha Stewart Chalkboard paint using a sponge brush. 3-4 coats

- Once the paint dried, they were ready to use!
