DIY Chalkboard

Hey y'all!

If you receive got been similar me, you receive got had a duad million projects going on at once. This was on of them that I constitute over at Beneath the Magnolias! Love her materials as well as this is where I got the idea. I did mine a niggling dissimilar but basically the same result! I had a smaller chalkboard on our garage door beside the kitchen for to a greater extent than or less fourth dimension forthwith that nosotros basically purpose to write niggling notes to each other, things nosotros need, etc. It has genuinely come upward inward handy as well as I genuinely dig the place :-) Don't heed the crappy bow job. It's what I had "on hand" as well as Hobby Lobby isn't opened upward at 8:30 p.m. ;-)


Ok! So here's the breakdown of what I bought. 

Mirror from Walmart: $5.00 
You tin larn these inward an assortment of colors or fifty-fifty pigment them yourself! I ALMOST got a white one. Y'all should hold out proud. HAHA!

Valspar Chalkboard Paint: $15 from Lowes. 
I pick out pigment vs. spray pigment because Spray Paint genuinely gets on my nerves, haha.

Brushes are from Walmart as well as they are the inexpensive $1.50 for similar fifteen of them bag. 
And they are ever out of these...because I approximate everyone is similar me as well as buys inexpensive ones for these kinds of projects :-) And that's it!

Here's a photograph I snapped of my supplies against our garage door. TOTALLY uncomplicated project. And as well as thence far, has toll me... at exactly close $20.00. Totally worth it for a door length mirror.


I suck as well as didn't accept pictures of the progress. I only set out the mirror on my ikon cloth. I brushed on a sparse layer of the chalkboard pigment as well as allow it dry out for close 8 hours. It says on the dorsum of the tin to allow it dry out 24 hours. I suck as well as I am impatient. *NOTE* It volition hold out sparse at first. Make certain you stir good earlier use. After 8 hours, I pose on to a greater extent than or less other coat as well as allow it sit down to a greater extent than or less other 8 hours. I starting fourth dimension brushed the exterior of the frame past times next the frame operate which made it a lot easier.

After waiting xvi hours, I brushed a 3rd as well as terminal coat. I made certain to larn whatever spots that looked similar they may non receive got soaked inward the chalkboard pigment equally well. I LOVED the result. BUT wait... how create I larn this on my door?

These moving-picture exhibit frame holders are soooo cheap! You tin literally larn them anywhere besides for close 99 cents depending on how many you want. I only pose them on the dorsum of the overstep of the mirror. They come upward amongst tiny itty bitty nails. I added these because I wanted to line the burlap through them to hang the bow from the claw on the door. Make sense?


I besides purchased these 3M strips to agree the chalkboard to the door. It would larn as well as thence annoying to receive got the chalkboard banging everytime you opened upward or unopen the door. I LOVE these niggling 3M strips because you tin purpose them virtually anywhere, for anything! I pose i on the overstep of the mirror, i inward the middle as well as i on the bottom.


And again, hither is the terminal result. I'll hold out going to Hobby Lobby tomorrow as well as getting novel burlap to brand a new, pretty wreath. But for now, I am loving it. 


Let me know what yous think! If you haven't LIKED on Facebook, create it now HERE! I gave the weblog a semi facelift. Hope you similar it.

PS, here's a sneak peek at to a greater extent than or less other blogpost inspired past times Pinterest coming soon!
