Magnetic Chalkboard Stencil Craft Kits by Plata Chalkboards to Launch on HSN

LEOMINSTER, Mass., Feb. 24, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Plata Chalkboards Joins the 90+ Brands Discovered Through The Big Find Product Search

Plata Chalkboards won judges over during QVC and HSN's The Big Find® product search and is scheduled to appear on HSN on March 1st. Through the second annual international search, which kicked off in July 2020, QVC and HSN discovered some of the most unique and innovative products in apparel, jewelry, accessories, footwear, beauty, and new categories for this year including home décor, home innovations, electronics and culinary including food. Now, these brands will introduce their products to an audience of millions across QVC and HSN's multiple platforms.

"The moment we were told we were a Big Find Winner was filled with surreal jubilation," says Karen Ardinger, who founded Plata Chalkboards along with her husband Jeff in late 2019. "For our magnetic chalkboard stencil craft kits to be recognized by HSN and grouped with other new, amazing and innovative products is truly an honor."

Plata Chalkboards was conceived after Karen chalked Merry Christmas on a small chalkboard and placed it on her front door. She loved how personal the welcome sign felt, but longed for better handwriting and quickly grew tired of redoing the sign after every rain. Then the solution- magnetic stencil letters and erasable paint pens- easy, water resistant and changeable for every season. Plata Chalkboards let anyone, regardless of artistic ability, create beautiful personal signs for their home.
