Decorative Chalkboard Craft

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.  I’m making a Decorative Chalkboard.

This is what I received.

Making a Decorative Chalkboard

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.

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!
