I found this frame/easel/whatever you want to call it at the Salvation Army store...it was really dirty and had two clear acrylic pieces with a photo between them inside...those just slid out and I replaced them with a piece of particle board that I sanded and then painted with chalkboard paint. It was a natural wood that had lots of scratches on it so I decided to paint it blue!
I thought I had taken a before picture, but couldn't find it...maybe I didn't take one!
Anyway, the whole project cost only $4. The frame was $2 and the particle board was only $2, I had the blue paint for the frame and the chalkboard paint left over from other projects.
The board slides out the bottom and there is a little plastic tab you turn to keep the board in...
My sister Sarah and I hope to have a booth at a craft show after Thanksgiving and I thought this would be great for a welcome to our booth sign! Until then I plan to use it around the house....
I'm really liking it!
I love it! It's always wonderful to transform something no-so-great into something great!

I love what you did with it. Chalkboards are one of my favs. Thanks for linking up with 6 Inches of Ribbon. come back friday to link up again.
ReplyDeleteI love this idea! Especially the menu! Saves everyone from asking the age old question, 'What's for dinner Mom?' I'm visiting with the pj party, I hope you visit me too!
