My favorite “self care” thing to do is a craft. I get in my comfy sweats, put my hair up and pull out the craft bin. And I am so excited to actually be partnering with ChalkOla today to chat about this very thing! Crafts with Chalk Markers!! I get gitty just thinking about it!
I can actually remember the last two birthdays I’ve gone to the craft store on my birthday to get a craft. It always has something to do with modge podge, chalk markers, or serging. I don’t know why, it’s just relaxing for me.

The greatest part about ChalkOla chalkboard markers is that they come in different sizes. It makes it super useful when you are picking different DIY projects for around the house. They come in a 6mm (regular) or a 15mm (jumbo) size.
My favorite 12 DIY crafts you can do with chalkboard markers
Labels
Since these are chalkboard markers you can erase and change and keep updating anything! I currently use this for my flour, sugar and other food labels!
1st Birthday Chalkboard
I did this for both of my kids!! It makes me so happy to do this!! I know my kids don’t care, at least not now, but one day they are going to love reflecting on this and seeing what stage they were at when they just turned one! I know I love going back and reflecting on their first birthdays!
Here is a tutorial how to make one!
Decorations
Oooh! This is another fav of mine!! Decorating with chalk markers is like the smartest, best thing I’ve ever done. I usually get the this chalk spray paint {it’s the best} so you can turn anything into chalk, then I use these super fun, colorful chalk makers and make decorations!!!
Here are a few you’d find around my house!
Help with moving
There was a phase where I was moving every few months; all for different reasons, but the best tip I have is to be organized! Label everything! And, as everything in life, things change. So it was awesome to have all of my moving boxes ready and loaded AND labels right on the front.
I bought plastic tote so they were sturdy, deep and stacked nice. Then I bought the vynil chalkboard so that I could use my handy-dandy chalk markers to label every box! It was pure genius!
Organization
This is one area that I actually have on my list of “do better in category”! haha! I love to be clean, but I need to be more organized! I found some super cool tutorials and ideas on Pinterest! In the image below they seem to be using real chalk, I’ve tried that and it’s way more messy and you can’t write as clear. My opinion? I totally prefer chalk markers.
Celebrating
This could be anything from celebrating a birthday or an anniversary or any special occasion! Since your chalkboard markers can be erased you can use these type of crafts again and again!
Weddings
This is like it’s own ball of fun! You can do SOOOO much with chalk makers when planning and preparing for a wedding.
Personalizing
That’s the thing. Chalkboard markers help you personalize anything and everything. It feels like it’s permanent because they don’t smudge but it can be removed at any time! I’m not sure of a better combination! The sky is the limit when it comes to making “stuff” your own.
Some fun ideas for personalizing with chalkmarkers are personalizing a shoebox, personalize possessions {with your name, the date, a calendar, your kids, toy boxes, wine cups} and the list goes on and on!
Classrooms
I’m a teacher at heart; I went to school in education so I’ve always loved classroom / teacher stuff. Chalkboards and chalk markers are a perfect fit for the classroom too. You can use them for anything like practicing writing, labeling, drawing bones in the skeleton or even decorating the door!
Holiday Fun
Christmas countdown, wrapping paper, holiday decorations, gift bags, YOU NAME IT! Chalkboard markers will be your key to CUTE, personal and affordable holiday fun!
Kiddo Fun
My favorite way to incorporate chalkboard markers is for my little ones! They get so much entertainment out of drawing, erasing and trying again! I love chalkboard markers because they aren’t too messy and it’s one space that can be used again and again. Just have to erase and start again instead of the endless pile of white papers that have one mark of color on it.
We are finishing our toy room in the basement and chalkboard is on my must-have list!

Gardening
I learned this one from my sister!! She has the most amazing garden and she straight DIYed her gardening labels. It was so cute!! You can do them BIG or SMALL! Both turn out so fun.
