A very simple little D.I.Y project to do, all you need are some unwanted Christmas tree baubles, gold paint, chalkboard paint, a chalkboard pen and some time for the paint to dry. And we can begin to make chalkboard Christmas Baubles. I began by carefully removing the top piece, from which the bauble hangs and then painted that gold. I then painted the main part of the bauble with chalkboard paint. Making sure I allowed plenty of drying time between each coat, each piece received two coats of paint.Once they had fully dried I carefully put the two pieces back together. I then used the chalkboard pen to decorate them.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2767\" src=\"http:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Baubles-2.jpg\" alt=\"baubles-2\" width=\"600\" height=\"401\" srcset=\"https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Baubles-2.jpg 816w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Baubles-2-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/asyouwish.co.nz\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Baubles-2-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/div>\n<p>Overall, a very simple project &#8211; unless you get carried away with your chalkboard pen design.
