Some of you might have noticed the chalkboard in our kitchen from yesterday's post. I was inspired by this blog post, and knew that I wanted a little message board to write D little love notes for our new place. This DIY chalkboard is a piece of cake and such a fun way to communicate.
What you'll need:
1. A frame
2. Chalkboard paint
3. A brush or roller
4. Piece of particle board
5. Chalk
Start by measuring your frame. Then go to the hardware store and get a cheap piece of particle board (mine cost $2.80). The hardware store will usually cut your board to the size you need for free. Paint the board leaving as few brush strokes as possible - the paint will flatten out on its own. I used two coats. Then before you staple the board into the frame, prime the board by running the side of a piece of chalk along the surface. Wipe clean. Staple into frame and hang!
Make sure chalk is easily accessible so friends can write fun messages :)
