With a few dollar store flower pots, some chalkboard paint  and FolkArt acrylics, you can create these adorable flower pot holders, the perfect room accessory for holding ribbons, barettes and other odds and ends.

We're getting the month moving with a whole lot of projects that feature things on wheels: planes, trains, automobiles and more. First up, is this handy little truck that uses chalkboard paint. Make a cute, custom chalkboard for your favorite little one.

If you are anything like me, you'll be spending the next few weeks organizing, cleaning and making room in your home for new toys and gifts. The end of the year is a great time to get organized- everone likes to start the begining of the year with a clean slate. And I, like many, love to free up mental and physical space for new creative projects that I have on the horizon.

I like to apply this concept to my children's play area as well. I'm trashing, donating, and otherise clearing out oldies, as well as doing a little winter cleeaning at home. And on Plaid Kids Crafts,  I'll be featuring projects over the next few days that combine creativity and organization. The first is this chalkboard toy box. Whether you have an old chalkboard that needs a fresh coat or paint, or you've found one at your local thrift store, you can give your box new life with FolkArt Chalkboard paint. This toy box is simple and easy to do and provides a new surface for customizing with the children. Happy crafting.

This is the first of a whole bunch of ornaments we will be featuring for the holidays! Make sure you also check out the ornament party on www.Plaidonline.com!

If you're looking to spruce up your child's room a bit, try making this chalkboard plaque. These also make great gifts!

Creative Organization is our Craft Blog of the Week!

Carla tackled two organizational projects featuring Plaid's Chalkboard Paint, a craft cabinet organizer and a set of doorknob chalkboards.
Both are adorable!
