A while back I got "antsi" and decided the globe in Tyler's room needed a face lift.
So naturally, I painted it.
This time with chalk board paint! Here's what I did:
I started out with a plain old globe.
Grabbed some primer spray paint.
And primed the whole thing. Base and all.
Found some semi-gloss royal blue (remember that huge paint stash in my basement?!)
Then I painted all the metal on the globe.
Paying close attention to getting the whole base painted.
It's okay that I got some of the paint on the globe. I'm going to cover that up next!
Using one of the cheapy foam brushed I painted on the chalkboard paint.
A there you have it, the Chalk Board Globe!

love it!
ReplyDeleteSo much fun Chessa! Great idea also for those garage sale globes that are in poor shape! TFS!
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! I can't wait to see how your son's room turns out!
