Want to add some curb appeal to your home without breaking the bank?? You can! And in just 3 easy steps!!

Step 1: Sweep up the sidewalk to remove any dirt or debris.

 

Step 2: Make some sidewalk chalk stencils with heavy cardstock paper (Hint: Old file folders or pieces of cardboard from empty cereal boxes work well for this.) Make plenty of colorful, festive designs!!

 

Step 3: Repeat as needed, and admire your beautiful walkway!

Have fun!!

    This is so cute! What a great and simple idea. How cute would it be to put a really big heart in the drive way for Daddy on v-da?!

    That’s fabulous. I bet she has a blast. My kids love sidewalk chalk. We’ll definitely be trying this one out.

    That is such a cool idea I will have to try that with my son… Ahwile back you had a giveaway for the Spriderman Crayola Comic Book you make starring yourself. Well we won it but God blessed us even more with it. We gave it to a mom who had no money for her son’s birthday gift ( finacial hardship) so Jakey wanted to give her the Spiderman gift to give him. The next thing you know God blessed us with finding out I was supposed to get a “bonus” at work. To me that was a double blessing my son wanting to give up a new toy of his (he is 4) still in plastic to someone less fortunate. And learning that obeidence to God is our first reward.
