Easy Christmas Chalkboard

 

 You can use thin scrap wood for this project.

 

Paint with flat black paint.

 

If you don't have any thin scraps you can get a Mini Chalkboard

 

at the Dollar Tree. The Chalkboards are 6'' x 8''.

 

They are made of Masonite and they are double sided.

 

 

 

I drilled small holes at the top of Chalkboard and used Jute to make a hanger.

 

 

 

 

 I used a wet sponge brush with just a drop of white acrylic paint

 

to give a whitewash effect.

 

 

 

The ribbon that I used was 5/8" wide.

 

 

 

 

I had these chenille stems on hand. You can find these at the Dollar Tree

 

12 stems for $1

 



 

 

I just looped ends together to make a mini wreath shape.

 

 



 

 

I used a 4'' piece of ribbon to cover the connection point,

 

then flipped the wreath over.

 

 



 

 

 

Then used hot glue to attach to the board.

 

I cut another piece of ribbon about 6 " to make a small bow.

 

Attach with hot glue. 

 

 

 

You can use a chalk marker or paint pen to add your sentiment to center of wreath.

 

 

Here is one finished. It took about 5 minutes to make!

 

So....of course I made more. Until I ran out of chenille stems.

 

 

 

These are ready for the Craft Show!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sorry if it's too soon to think about Christmas, but I wanted to share some of the things

 

I am working on this week.
