I have been wanting to repurpose an old dollar-store aluminum tray, so I decided to try my first chalkboard paint project on it. If you can paint, you can create this DIY project. I have found many uses for my chalkboard tray; including, but not limited to, a menu board and cheese tray. 1. Clean the aluminum tray surface, and prime it. 2. Add three coats of (affiliate link) Rust-Oleum Specialty Chalk Board paint. 3. Let dry, rub chalk on the tray. 4. Clean off the chalk, and voila, the tray is ready for use!
