There have been a lot of projects using these foam dice found in the toy department at Dollar Tree.
I painted them with chalk paint like so many others had said they had done. Then I dry brushed the edges with black to give them a worn look. I may have gone a little heavy in some spots but it's just for me so all is good. Any way then I had to decided what word I wanted to put on them. Since I'm decorating for St. Patrick's Day right now I chose luck and I used a shamrock in place of the u

Reeni, thanks. I've never been very good at the dry brushing thing but they didn't turn out too bad.
