YOU, I, and OUR NEW FRIEND

YOU CAN DO THIS TOO BELIEVE ME

Now comes the real story:

I had the container for about two years. It sat lonely in many places, until I saw this in a blog, I cann't remember, but You and I visit a lot of blogs, most likely it was snowing, or raining, and I needed YOU, so browse, browse, and more browse.

Step 1:  You have your milk delivered and, they didn't ask for the container, or your neighbor threw hers away.

Step 2:  Sand the container, I did mine by hand, the old fashioned way, it wasn't too bad. 

Step3:  Prime ( I used spray prime from Lowes)

Step4: Spray  or paint with a brush our best friend chalkboard paint.
           It took three coats, and WAIT 24 hours or more until very dry.

STEP 5:  The most important step, rub chalk all over, then wipe it with a dry cloth. 

Step 6:  Write a note to the kids, or today's menu, or "got milk?", decorate with flowers or magazines.

Step 7:  you  did it!! 

Enjoy the old milk container, reuse as a message/container,
