Chalk Painting Christmas Skates
What’s better than chalk paint and ice skates?! I decided to combine the two by chalk painting Christmas skates. This is such an easy project to do and it will get you cute, Christmas decor in no time!
Chalk Painting Christmas Skates
I actually did this project a couple years ago. I always use them during the holiday season. A classic red with some distressing is the look I went for.

- I begin by getting my Amy Howard chalk paint.
- The tongue of the skate needs to be pulled out, so you can get full coverage of it.

- To get a distressed look, apply Vaseline to the areas that you don’t want painted.
I’ve heard it’s so very hard to get chalk paint off leather once it’s dry. So know ahead of time if you want a distressed look.
- Paint the tongue of the skate. Once it’s dry you can put it back in the shoe.

- Then you just coat the shoe in chalk paint and let it dry.
- Wipe off the Vaseline, and you’ve got some distressed ice skates!
It’s as simple as that! But if you want a shinier look, add a clear wax once the paint is dry.
This gold chalkboard goes great with my red skates! Having chalkboard art really helps to decorate the home for Christmas time. This chalkboard can be found in my shop here.
Here are some affiliate links, to shop some of these amazing antique skates. The kids got a nice surprise when they saw the stockings were full… of tissue paper!!

Oh man there was a pair of skates at Goodwill last week. Left them there. But now will look and in fact will chalk paint them pink, as pink is my 2020 Christmas color and gift-giving color this year; makes my shopping so much easier when I color shop ox Merry Christmas from Virginia ox
Oh I hope they are there!! That would be so pretty! Merry Christmas
Definitely need to do this! Found old white skates in the attic of a house we bought. But need to be a pretty red for Christmas ❤️
Let me know how it turns out! That will be perfect for the Christmas season
