This seems to be the year of pallet board projects at our house and the latest is chalkboards. My sister wanted some chalkboards for my niece and her finance's upcoming wedding which will be at a horse ranch so I volunteered and then "roped" the hubs into helping too. Of course he loves to help and any project that involves tools is always a winner. Pallet boards seemed like the perfect rustic frame for the chalkboards and we were lucky enough to find another stack of them in all sizes. The best part is they were free just like all the others have been.
The previous chalkboards Mr Wonderful has made have only been one sided however this time the only thing he could find were sheets of reversible chalkboard which means the opposite side is a dry~erase board which is fun. He decided to change his frame up to accommodate the double sides by making it tongue and groove which gives both sides a nice finish so that you could hang it either way.
He cut each of the boards 2' x 3' which left a few smaller boards that he also framed.
Temporary legs and easel stands were added to make them easy to place wherever they are needed and can be easily removed if desired.
We have had some birthdays recently so I broke in one of the new small chalkboards.
It was so fun that I doodled on another one.
The messages for the large chalkboards are almost finished. The wedding signs tend take a little longer than just my usual boards since I draw the design first with regular chalk and then go back and use a chalk pen. Once they are finished I will be be back to share more of our chalkboards and some other really fun wedding projects we are working on.
Happy Friday!
I love those! I need one to hang in my apartment
