Chalkboard DIY:

When I first moved into my apartment I knew the one thing I wanted to decorate with was a chalkboard!!! After months of searching for the perfect one I gave up and decided I wanted to make my own. Every one I found was either way to expensive or not the size I was looking for. So therefor I came up with my first "DO IT YOURSELF" project for the apartment. After loads of research I came up with this:

  I purchased a frame from Hobby Lobby and bought a board 

from and got it cut at Home Depot:

First step is to pick the color for the frame, I chose red

and spray painted it:

Next paint the board with chalkboard paint, this paint 

is the best to use:

After that place the black board into the frame (Home

Depot will cut it perfectly to fit into the frame):

I had so much fun making this one that I decided to make and sell them! If you are interested you can buy one HERE on my Etsy account! I am already working on some for my friends! If interested please buy one... If not hopefully this DIY will help you. Any other ideas on how to make a chalkboard? Comment below!
