When you use chalk markers, whatever you do isn’t permanent. It’s possible to erase, change, and update anything. 

Do you love getting your home organized? Are you purchasing containers for all your different kitchen staples and accidentally using them in the laundry room? If so, why not use your chalk markers to make labels for these containers to help keep things in their proper place. 

You can even draw pictures if you’re feeling creative

Tile Art

Do you have plain colored tiles in your home? If so, these are the ideal canvas for your chalk markers. Again, your imagination is your only limit

Before you start a new project, it may be helpful to sketch out what you want to draw. After that, you will have a guide for what you want to create. 

If you plan to use chalk markers for decorating tiles, clean the surface you are decorating well first. You can use hot, soapy water or even alcohol to remove any oil, grease, or dirt on the tiles. Also, make sure you dry the surface well before getting started.

Use Them to Help with Your Move

Do you move often? Or do you have a move coming up that you are dreading? No matter the situation, staying organized while moving is a must. To do this, you’ll want to label everything you can. 

There’s no doubt that the moving process can get hectic. Because of this, you want to take all the steps you can to keep things organized

Instead of using traditional cardboard boxes, which can get wet, damaged, and infested with bugs, consider using plastic totes. You can then use your chalk markers to write what is inside with these containers. 

If you move often, you can store the pre-labeled totes and have them ready to go when you move again. This will help take a ton of stress and hassle out of the moving process
