Chalkboard paint is practically like magic – paint a coat over just about anything, and soon you have a chalkboard surface.

We had plans to plant flowers and herbs in pots on our back patio, so it was the perfect excuse to break out the chalkboard paint!

You could either make a big stripe to be the label…

…or do as Travis did and paint the whole pot.

We decided this large surface would be great for drawing in pictures of the plants with chalk, in addition to simply writing their names.

Let dry overnight, then use chalk to write in the name of whatever will be in your pots. Happy planting!
