This sort of project has been around the blogosphere for a while now. But I am sharing it on today's "Tea Craft Tuesday" because it would make a lovely addition to any tea party. I associate tea parties with the British tradition of taking afternoon tea accompanied by silver, porcelain, and beautiful linens. This project adds an elegant, though practical, touch to a tea party event.
The directions are quite simple. Select a flat-bottomed tea tray. I purchased this "silver" tray at the dollar store. Paint the flat inside of the tray with chalkboard paint, following the directions on the chalkboard paint package.
IDEAS:
1) Put this project near the front door to greet your guests with a message of welcome.
2) Write your food or tea menu on this silver chalkboard tray.
3) At a large event, write directional instructions on chalkboard signs. For example, "Ladies' powder room this way."
4) At a fundraiser tea party thank an event sponsor with a note written on the tray.
5) Congratulate the bride-to-be or the anniversary couple with a note on the tray....
The possibilities are endless.
