A couple weeks ago, I drove by my favorite craft store, Hobby Lobby, and let me tell you, that place is so amazing that it makes every 25 miles trip to their closest store from my home worth it. I went inside to get a few things for a future DIY project, and could not pass up these beautiful gingham handles. Immediately I thought they would look great on a tray and why not a chalkboard tray. If needed, sand off any rough areas and wipe it clean for smooth surface. Apply 2 layers of chalkboard paint and let it dry for three hours.
