All the chalkboards were made by first painting the frames then cutting a thin piece of wood cut to size and painted with several coats of chalkboard paint.

Distress the edges of your frame with sandpaper. Then glued the chalkboard in place where the glass would of been.

This one is a cutting board painted with chalkboard paint, then I stenciled a chevron pattern at the top.

These chalk holder bags are made from burlap that I stenciled polka dots on. Then I ran a bead of hot glue down the sides and glued them together to form a pocket leaving about a 1/2″ at the top where I punched a hole and ran a piece of jute through.


I attached them to the frames by stapling the jute to the top back part of the frame. The cutting board had a hole at one corner where I attached the chalk bag.
