Chalkboards make a fun Christmas or birthday gift! I did this with a frame I had on hand and some glass for my niece's birthday. |
I decided it would be fun for the boys do have their own chalkboards so I started with these pieces of free glass I got while out junking this summer. They had been in a dirty barn a looooong time! |
I painted them with my homemade chalkboard paint. Click here for my easy recipe! |
Tobin wanted his to be red.... and true to first-born style, he painted about an inch around the outside and the edges, just as instructed. |
We used wood glue to glue the painted glass pieces onto our plywood and they turned out like this: |
Now there is no arguing over chalkboards! I take that back. "Ty's writing on MY chalkboard!!! Ty erased my picture!!! " And on it goes..... haha |
I made one too. Rolled fabric flowers and jute around the edge of the glass finish it off. |
I tied a piece of chalk, so you're not looking for it when you need it. |
close up of the jute. I did some fun chalkboard windows as well.... but will save them for another day! Have a great weekend!!! |
