Chalkboard Globe
As I cleaned out my basement and created my "keep" and "sale" piles (as I do every year). I rummaged through the sale pile once more.
I drug out this globe which I had originally planned to take into my classroom several years ago. As I wiped the cob-webs off I decided to put it in the keep pile and keep it I shall.

This simple craft calls for just a few supplies: chalkboard paint (sold in quarts $11.00 at Home Depot..ouch), a globe, some spray paint and a brush. (chalk too!)
I first painted the globe with several coats of the chalkboard paint.
Once the paint was dry I took the globe apart and spray painted the base with white Krylon spray paint.

And last I simply added my drawings to the piece.
A simple art piece for my home.
I will be linking up to these parties this week and I look forward to showing you my Rt 127 Yard Sale finds the next time we meet!
And, look me up at the CSI Project for Kids Crafts this week!
