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.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.

 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!

    That’s awesome! I love the funky shape and the colors! I got different products in my box, but equally hard, I think!

  2. Thanks Katie. Why are you waiting for Mr. to cut your shapes ??

  3. Love your chalkboard project! I’ve been asking Mr. Woodsy to cut me out fun shapes so I can create a chalkboard of sorts for our craft room! 🙂 Love your version.

  4. Thanks Tara. I will probably not keep it there but it’s the only background that looked decent right now because we have such heavily textured walls. Someday I’ll slap up some serious wainscoting! LOL
