Question for the DIY Queens! I bow down to you! LOL Help please!

No idea on the answer, but that is SUCH a cute idea!! If people say yes, I'm totally doing that with mine, too!!

I thought it would be handy lol!

Hmmmmmmmm good question. im guessing if it dont say keep away from heat or flame it should be ok. that is a really awesome idea!! i have an old crockpot i may have to try that with! where do you get chalkboard paint?

There is a heat-proof paint for painting stoves. I know it comes in black, don't know about other colors. Check your local hardware store or Home Depot.

My small crock was soooo cheap, that I think I might try it anyways and see how it goes.

THanks Nancy, @ SHelia, I've seen it home depot, home hardware, etc..

Don't know if it will 'stick'... because of the heat. If the outside is metal - consider painting in with the black paint they sell to paint BBQ grills. Then use magnets (either stick-ons on the back of paper or the business card magnets you can put thru a printer) to have your different labels.

I think MBM's idea is great. They sell the little tub of chalkboard paint, so you can always test it out first. And worse case scenario, paint it with the grill paint.

THanks Ladies, my only concern is putting paper on metal that gets hot might not be the greatest idea, I've had croc pots melt plastic containters before..LOL

They do get rather warm! If you used card stock, though, I think it would be ok. (with magnets behind). If you can find a SMALL can of the chalkboard paint, you can to a trial. Sounds like a fun project. Good luck!

I don't think the paper would be a problem. I just purchased a crock pot that has a card holder and a bunch of pre-printed cards that say chili, ribs, stew, meatballs, etc... that you just slip into the card holder. It's right up against the metal. But I do love the chalkboard paint idea!

Try it.....paint it and warm something up for a few hours. If it does peel, at least it won't be at the wedding!
