Decorative Chalkboard Craft


Posted on: March 13th, 2012 by Sandra 20 Comments


I’m participating in the Scribble Shop Crafter’s Challenge.  They sent me and a group of other crafty bloggers a box of supplies and we were challenged to try to use as many of them as we could in ONE craft.  I used ALMOST all of them.

Scribble Shop is an online store with just about any craft item you would ever need (over 75,000 items).  Follow and visit Scribble Shop on facebookTwitter and Google+.

 

This is what I received.

Glitter Brads, Martha Stewart Glitter, Chalkboard Paint, Feathers, Black and White Fabric, Turquoise Roving, Gold Roving

I used a scrap piece of 1/4″ hardboard and some twine from my own supplies.

I created a template out of paper and then traced it onto the hardboard.

Cut it out with a jigsaw and sanded the edges.

 

I primed it and then painted it with the chalkboard paint.

Then I used the fabric, feathers and glitter brads to make some Rosettes.

 But I still had the Roving and glitter to use…

 

Glitter, Done!

I used a high temp hot glue gun to glue on my twine.  That stuff is STRONG!  (Just don’t burn your fingers!)

OK, so I didn’t end up using the Roving.  I originally wrapped it around my twine but Maddie said it looked sloppy compared to everything else so I let it go.  So, I concede to the crafters that were able to use ALL of their product.

I had a blast trying to come up with something.

And I like the message Wes wrote.  It’s our daily motto!

Make it a great day Y’all!
