It never ceases to amaze me when I come across pictures and wonder how people come up with these clever ideas! Once again I am grateful for creative minds that share their creations with us so we can share it with each other.
I can't believe how many great ideas have been thought of using chalkboard paint. The sad part is that I didn't even now there was chalkboard paint! Shameful, I know. Anyways, I came across a pin of a silver platter turned into a chalkboard that I loved and put in my board of "Things I want to make". While I was thinking about it I remembered all the platters I had seen at this one Thrift Store! I ran over there to pick them up and they were closed. :( I had to wait all weekend until this morning when they opened again. They have been there for weeks and I was hoping they were still there. There they were in a stack waiting for me on the shelf. They only cost me .50 cents a piece. They were all different which made it even better. I bought them all because I want to make some for gifts.
I will also show you some other darling ideas that you can use Chalkboard paint to make a new creation for much much cheaper.
Here are my lovely new (old) platters......
This one looks identical to the one above. 
I like that this one is shiny so I have one new and others that are more antiqued.
All together with my cute little cup to hold them up.
Look how different each one is! I was hoping for some decorative edges so I am really excited to show you some inspiring ideas that people have come up with to do with silver platters and MUCH MORE!
Think of the possibilities. What would you do with your Silver Platter?
