This simple technique will have you painting EVERYTHING with chalkboard paint!
You will need:
Tins and boxes (I even used an Easter egg tin for the dragon egg version!)
Chalkboard paint - Krylon makes a great Spraypaint version! But you can use whatever you can find!
Painting materials - newspaper, brush if you are using non-spraypaint
Chalk - I used just white
Great ideas for illustrations - you can search the web for ideas!

- Paint all of your tins with chalkboard paint according to package instructions.
- Allow to dry completely!
- Draw your motifs and designs on your tins and boxes.
- FILL WITH CANDY!
TIP:
This project looks great with spooky motifs, but you can decorate with anything you'd like for year-round use!
