Every morning I send my kids off to school with a packed lunch and a note from mom. Except for when I can’t find a piece of paper in those crucial time to get out the door moments (Oops!). But now that I’ve made one small alteration to their lunchboxes, I’ll never have to worry about paper again.

Things you’ll need:
Metal Lunchbox
Chalkboard paint
Foam brush
Painter’s tape

Things to do:
1. Open the lid of the lunch box and tape off the edges. Prop up the lid so that it rests in a flat position.

2. Coat the inside of the lid with a generous layer of paint. Allow it to dry completely and then add a second coat.

3. Let the paint harden overnight before using.
