Inverted dinner and salad plates for circles! |
A traced quarter made the perfect center circle! |
Whoops - went over the lines! I got distracted watching the Astronaut Wives Club on TV That's OK, that's now North! And the center - The Moon! |
Voila! Two coats of sealant makes the chalk disappear and the pearl paint really pop |
We needed a stepping stone near our front gate - to step over the mud and water when it rains. Checking out Lowe's, hubby found a 12" square concrete stone and suggested I paint it. Why not? And why not a compass, oriented to the North on our land. And on our iPhones. Thank you, Apple!
Easy-peasy to do! I used Craft Smart acrylic paint in Navy and Pool Blue (Craft Smart is Michael's house brand paint) and Martha Stewart's Mardi Gras Beads (purple outlined circles), Habanero (red), Carrot and Mother of Pearl. FYI: The Martha Stewart Mother of Pearl is a really good paint. Grab it next time you are in Michael's and can't find anything to use your coupon on...you'll love it.
