My cute friend made me this darling chalkboard plate for me for my birthday. 
I thought it was the cutest little memo board and had to get right away to making some. If you haven't seen these already, here is a little how to. They are so easy and fun to make and give for gifts. As I was doing it my mind got going and I kept think of fun things you could do with these. I thought it would be fun to find Christmas plates and give away as gifts for Christmas. I also thought it would be neat to do a wall with 9 of these plates arranged in a square, each family member could have their own plate you could write messages for them on their plate. You could also have a plate for to do lists, grocery lists, important phone numbers, etc. Then if you wanted you could put vinyl lettering at the top of the plate labeling the plate for each persons name. Anyway here is how I did it.
Things you need:
-A plate
(my friend used a glass plate. The one I did I used a plastic one from target. I was sending mine in the mail so I wanted to avoid glass. Both glass and plastic work great!)
-chalkboard spray paint
-Masking tape
-An easel
Start by masking off the plate like so 
This is the chalkboard paint I used. I got mine at Michaels. I am sure you could get it at any craft store.
Spray plate
Pull of tape and there you go! On the can of the paint it gives you instructions on drying times for the chalk.
So easy and fun!

So cute. At Michaels they have the chalk pens that write on chalk boards. Like paint pens, but chalk with a few different colors. Great idea and thanks for the how to Michele.
