I was at a church rummage sale a few weeks ago and found this print on canvas for only a dollar.
Initially, I was going to paint the canvas white create my own multi medium mural. But then...something more functional came to mind: a chalkboard! Inspired by a friend, I went to Home Depot and picked up some spray paint primer and chalkboard paint.
First I spray painted primer. After everything was primed, I then painted the canvas with chalkboard paint. The frame got a couple layers of wall paint (durable!).
And the finished product! :-)
There are SO many possibilities for a huuuge chalkboard!:
-Menu board for the kitchen.
-To-do list for the office.
-Calendar to keep track of the fam's activities.
-Focal point on mantle (change quote with the seasons.)
...and many more ideas!
I decided to put the chalkboard in a bedroom. I can change the drawing or quote anytime - because it's just chalk! :-)
Cost of this DIY chalkboard:
Print - $1
Paint - $8
