Materials Needed:
- Chalkboard Paint
- Old playing cards
- Hole puncher
- Scissors
- Hemp, Baker's Twine or String
- Mason Jars
- Chalk
- Paper Straws
I had some random playing cards floating around so I thought I'd make 'em cute and put 'em to good use. I laid them outdoors on a piece of cardboard...
...and I spray painted them black with Rust-oleum Chalk Board spray paint.
I then allowed them a couple hours to dry.
I then used chalk to write names on the cards, slipped them around mason jars, and added these cute red and white paper straws. The straws were purchased from Mindy Mae's Market.
After use, the labels can be slid off the jars, erased, and saved for the next get-together!

I'm a huge upcycle/repurpose fan and I think these are a great use of turning something old into something new...and super cute! I would love for you to share it over at a party I'm co-hosting this week: http://sunnyvanilla.blogspot.com/2012/05/co-host-linky-party-with-lines-across_13.html
