Picture Frame Chalkboard

With Mother's Day this weekend, I thought that this picture frame chalkboard would be a perfect gift for moms. It can be used in the kitchen for a menu or chore list, in a bedroom for to-do lists, drawings, reminders, quotes, Bible verses, and anything else that you wish to put on it. It is so simple and so cute! I wouldn't blame you if you just made one for yourself. ;)

So let's get this party started...

You will need a spray paint color for the frame, chalkboard spray paint, and a picture frame (I got mine from Goodwill).

And then you paint the frame with your first color and the glass from the picture frame with your chalkboard color. Here are some helpful tips to ensure that your project doesn't end up badly:

1. While painting, lay the frame/glass over newspapers or a rag.
2. Paint the frame and the glass separately (don't have them near each other while painting) to avoid accidentally getting the wrong paint color on one of them.
3. Don't paint on a windy day! The paint will drift all over.
4. Paint in the shade, if you can. Unless it is cold or wet.
5. Wait for the chalkboard to dry before you draw on it!

To erase your chalk creations off of the board, you can use a chalkboard eraser or just an old rag.

My 16 year old brother (Isaiah) drew this amazing picture on one of our chalkboards. He is so artistic!

If you try this out, I'd love it if you emailed me a picture of it or posted it to Instagram with the hashtag #bbchalkboardcreations.

Are you doing anything special for your mom for Mother's Day?
