DIY chalk board made from the plate under a birthday cake

My daughter's third birthday cake left me with a nice round wooden plate which I didn't want to throw away. I came upon a DIY chalk board project and I tried it out. Here is the result and how I did it.

I thought of making it a differnt color cause my daughter already had a black one.

So I took red acrylic paint. I used half the small 15ml bottle that you would get at a stationary shop and mixed half a teaspoon of white fine tile grout bought from a building materials store and mixed the two and painted it onto the board.

Yeah, the chalk board was ready in no time.

Hard time letting the paint dry..... she wanted to write on it right away.

So nice to have something colorful to write on.

It was a successful project out of something that would have just been thrown away.

Do try it people.....I read that this chalk board paint can be used on a lot of surfaces......try out the lowerpart of a wall in your child's room......sounds fun to me.

DIY Barbie doll dresses



My mother very carefully peserved my baby sister and my Barbie dolls that we had as kids.....she gave them to my daughter some time ago who loves playing with them as they are an addition to the ones in her collection.


She loves to pretend play with her dolls and would be more than happy to have more clothes for them. I was looking out for ways to make some dresses myself......and I happened to come across a blog that was on making Barbie dresses out of outgrown baby socks......and I made this with my baby's socks.


She loved how the dresses looked on her Barbie.


And I liked them too. Here have a look.
