I had a bag of old roofing slate in my basement and decided to make something with it!</p>

<p>It is a countdown to Christmas calendar and you can change the days because I used <a href="https://fbit.co/12ip">chalk markers by Kynsa</a> to write the date! I also used the labels that came in the kit to make place cards for Christmas dinner. Chalk makers are nice because all you have to do it wipe the writing with a damp cloth to remove it! Perfect for labeling and crafts! Save 10% on <a href="https://fbit.co/12ip">the set of 10 markers and 40 labels</a> with this coupon code: <strong>KynsaNow </strong></p>
<p>I used acrylic paints to paint the design on the edge of the slate because I wanted that to be permanent. Watch the video to see how!</p>
