I love using chalkboards to announce the evening’s menu, provide directions or just to welcome your guests. It’s a more whimsical way to convey a message.
Science Fact: Chalk is actually sticks of calcium sulfate or calcium carbonate. Chalkboards were originally made of smooth, thin sheets of black or dark grey slate stone.
DIY: Reinvent old frames by turning them into chalkboards. Any frame size will work because you can never have enough cute little signs.
Things you will need:
1)Desired color spray paint for the frame (I like white because it matches everything and creates great contrast)
2)Staple gun (craft one is fine)to attach your painted “chalkboard” to your frame
3)Chalkboard spray paint
4)Plywood or thin smooth wood. Have them cut it to the size you need at the home improvement store.
