Harrowing Hamlet Writing Surfaces

These Chalkboard Skulls are Morbidly Fun

These Chalkboard Skulls are a unique way to leave a note.

The Chalkboard Skulls, which are made by Etsy boutique Iamhome, are made of plastic, porcelain and enamel chalkboard paint. The skulls range in different color options as well, such as tangerine and pea green. The Chalkboard Skulls are a great way to make sure you don't forget to pick up the milk or say I love you to your significant other, even if it seems a bit morbid to be written on a chalkboard shaped like the human skull.
