Here is a chalkboard that is going into my sewing room re-do and I wanted to share it with you.
An old frame with an opening of 18x24 inches and my daughters' chalkboard from when they were little.
The chalkboard is one of those things that you just keep around, because of all the memories of the 2 of them playing school with it!!
Fortunately for me, the wood frame of the chalkboard fit into the inside lip of the frame.
(see how old the frame is...they probably split something on that when they were little)
Looks cute, but you know me and my black paint...nothing escapes me!
2 quick coats on each...didn't prime it or anything. Just went for it.
Here is the frame of the chalkboard...adds dimension to the frame.
Now to connect them. The frame of the chalkboard is thick, so it sticks up above the edge of the back of the frame. I couldn't tack it in like a normal picture.
Tool Time to the rescue...metal strapping. It bends to the shape of the frames to secure them together. The holes are perfect for screws.
You know I buy things at the hardware store just because I know there will be another purpose for them. Well, this is one of those items...
What is it? Who knows...it's some kind of metal strapping.
Just go into the hardware store with confidence, like you know what you're talking about and say...
"I can't find that coiled metal strapping that I've been looking for...do you know where that is?
Sounds like you know your stuff, but you just can't find it. Lol !!
Here's the finished frame...perfect for a kitchen or office. The frame gives it more substance.
Next project in the works...peg board!!
Happy Tuesday!
