November 21, 2015 - Caledon, Canada - The blog Pies and Gents loves to discover new things and have adventurous living which they showcase. The author recently got the idea to create a spooky Halloween village utilizing empty cardboard boxes and markings from Fun Chalk Liquid Chalk Markers.
According to Pies and Gents, it’s important to choose a variety of boxes with different shapes and sizes. This will give the village a unique feel. The blogger did her first creation as a haunted house using an empty Goldfish cracker carton. Materials needed to do the cardboard craft included empty cardboard boxes, chalkboard paint, black craft paint and paint brushes, Fun Chalk Chalk Markers For Blackboards, paper, tape, straws, scissors, scotch tape, utility knife, sharpie marker and glue gun and glue.
The user should ensure the boxes to be used are empty and clean of food particles. Then the user becomes creative and builds structures out of the containers by drawing doors and windows and using the utility knife to cut them out. If the building has multiple parts then the user should utilize the glue gun and attach the boxes together. Once the building design is created then the user applies a base coat of black craft paint followed by a coat of chalkboard paint.
Now comes the fun part. Pies and Gents highlighted how the Fun Chalk Markers For Blackboards added the decorative drawings and outlines of the buildings. To fit the theme of Halloween, ghostly shapes and bats were created using white paper and outlined using Sharpie markers. These shapes were cut out with the scissors and pasted on the buildings to create a spooky feeling. Any extra signage for buildings were created using paper, glue, straws and the Sharpie markers.
According to Pies and Gents, this project is a great way for children to have a new play area. Additionally with the use of the chalk markers for blackboards the kids can become creative and make their own building designs. Parents can do the harder tasks such as cutting out openings and putting on the base coat while leaving children to decorate a blank box.
The village can become a festive table centerpiece or something decorative for the mantle piece. According to the blogger Pies and Gents, the idea of decorating with the chalk markers for blackboards can be translated to making a Christmas village as well.
According to Pies and Gents, the chalk markers for blackboards are perfect for the project because they come in a great selection of eight bright bold colors. The markers are useful on many non-porous surfaces including windows, chalkboards, mirrors, plastics, lucite container and dry erase boards. The chalk pens easily wipe clean with a wet cloth. They also dry fast and are easy to handle.
