This summer I helped plan a wedding shower.
I wanted to make a fun chalk board that could be used not only as a shower decoration but also as a gift.
I scoured the local Goodwill for a suitable frame.
I loved the oval shape of this piece, but the art inside:
Hideous!
In case you can' tell, there is a collage of dried flowers and mushrooms on top of a
terry cloth towel in that frame.
I'm sure it was cool once.
Maybe.
But, it had good bones, so I went for it.
I even got it half off.
A little white spray paint, and a couple layers of
chalk board paint on the glass,
and we now have a beautiful message board.
This project cost very little, especially if you happen to have leftover chalk board paint laying around.
Plus, the bride-to-be was happy to learn she got to take it home.
Win-win!!
Happy crafting!
