I bought these paint cans at Lowes for $2.50 each
Then I taped off little rectangles. I didn't measure or anything, I wanted them to not be so perfect. Then I brushed on chalkboard paint. It took 3 coats over about 12 hours. I would just walk by them every 3-4 hours and brush on another coat. These will be in my scrapbooking corner I am putting together this summer! I will fill them with pens, buttons, whatever I need storage for! They were fun to make!
