    I prefer to make a message board with chanckboard paint. You can only paint it on the wall, the glass, the door ect, i mean can paint anywhere you want to leave message. After you paint you can writing, drawing... really a good idea paint. we really can support you good idea chalkboard paint, magnetic paint, whiteboard paint for you. go ahead to contact me, joyce on email: ennovatemall@gmail.com. i will show you everydetail about it.

    I can't find anyone locally with these tiles, but if you do a search for "predrilled slate tiles", you can find them.
    Also, FYI, Home Depot has a line of Martha Stewart drawer pulls and there's one that's perfect for this project.

    Capitol City Lumber has them but no holes drilled - have to drill your own.

    If looking for roofing tiles...try salvage companies/demolition companies in your area.

    Has anyone been able to find a slate roofing tile anywhere? I'd love to make this but don't know where to get one. Please HELP!!! Thank you :)

    use leather lacing and tie knots on each end once threaded thru the holes

    This idea was sent over a year ago and I searched the Internet and local stores for the tiles and never found any. Wish Martha would do research on supplies before sending ideas out! I tried Home Depot, Lowe's, roofing companies and the internet.

    Great for whimsy 'I love you' messages to members of the family! Can't you just see 'Love you back' scribbled beneath the original message? Such a simple idea and yet so handy!

    Great idea!! Found roof tiles at Home Depot. Also, try a roofing only store.

    I don't think I'd want any old person to know what I was doing.. It's cute for indoors but to me dangerous for outside... Just my opion..

    So you dont have to SPRAY chalkboard paint on it?
    Just use it as is?

    ok, i just LOVE this. I can see SO many gift possibilities. Heck you could even stencil some ivy on it... the beauty of this is its simplicity.

    I love I love I love! Just like in college when we all had dry-erase boards on our dorm room doors. But this is the grown-up version! Cute and sophisticated.
