diy chalkboard platter

I found this great trio of chalkboard platters on Etsy the other day.  There are a million tutorials out there and they are the perfect DIY project.  I love sifting through the silver at thrift stores but never have any use for them.  They'd be great for menus, table directories or kitchen decorations.  Need a little more direction?  See a great tutorial by Postmarked Paris.

If silver is not your thing, pick up a few cheap white platters from Big Lots or Home Goods, like these Pottery Barn platters.
