So I saw and fell in love with a friends giant chalkboard that she found at a flea market...
I haven't had such luck finding one of my own - but while brainstorming fun projects with my sister - it hit me - I can make this wonderful chalkboard!
I sanded down the boards so it would look worn and kind of old, I used a power sander - much quicker. |
Added paint (that I found in my sisters garage, love shopping at her house :) and sanded it again (*I cut the corners at an angle as well) |
Sprayed a piece of thin-ish plywood with chalkboard spray paint (under $4 a can) I used almost 2 cans - I wanted a true chalkboard feeling. |
I do love that it doesnt look brand new - and the wood is super soft. |
I put a wire hanger on the back - and there she is! |
I LOVE it, and as you can see my kids love it too - although I think most of the artwork is Carters.
