DIY Chalkboard Coasters

My daughters painted these awesome coasters for our latest party and I want to share with you how easy it is.

 

 

 The coasters which we found at Michael's are already regular chalkboard coasters but didn't quite went with the colors at our party. They painted them using Martha Stewart Crafts' Multi-Surface chalkboard acrylic paint in green.

 

 

 Their idea was for me to use as labels for the dessert table. Genious!

 

 

 I got a little creative with the labels making cute designs to coordinate the disney theme.

 

The chalk marker is from Paper Source and it's not permanent. It erases just as regular chalk.

 How fun would these be for a cheese and wine party!

Mickey Mouse Treat Bags Tutorial by Jenny from Embellishing Life + GIVEAWAY

If you are throwing a Mickey Mouse birthday party these bags are perfect for filling with goodies, and add a nice touch to your decor!

These are super easy to make. 

You will need:

~black bags (found at a craft or party supply store)

~red paper

~black paper

~white paper

~adhesive (I used glue dots) You will use this to adhere everything to the bag

1.  Cover the lower front part of your black bag with a red rectangle.  The red rectangle size will depend on the size bag you purchased.

2.  Cut two small circles or ovals from white paper for the front buttons.  I used an oval cutter, but you can trace something the size you want, or just freehand it.

 

3.  Next cut two circles for those famous ears!  Again, I used a circle cutter, but you can trace around a glass.  Mine are about 2.5 inches.  It is easiest if you fold the bag closed before you adhere the ears.   

Now you're ready to fill it with all those fun goodies!

Thanks for having me Mayra!

Thank you Jenny!
