we've been wanting a chalkboard to put up in our kitchen for quite a while.
they are pretty pricey in stores for the size we wanted though...
so after seeing some cute homemade ones my friends have done, i decided to make my own!
9 dollars total covered a D.I. frame (i took out the glass to paint), 2 brushes, and 2 bottles of paint.
i did 8 layers of chalkboard paint on the glass to make it thick enough(change direction per coat).
it took me 4 layers of the red to cover the frame because it was a splotchy gold underneath.
vwala! this is now hanging proudly in our kitchen (which has splashes of red to match)!
Hey! That's cute! One day we'll have a BIG chalkboard menu in our kitchen. But for now, we deal with our small whiteboard on the fridge! Way to be thifty! :)
