I've been a busy bee just lately making chalkboards for my shop and it looks like I will continue this trend. I'm having a lot of luck with them, they sell as fast as I can make them...now that's a good thing. I'm trying to have a good variety of them...small...medium...extra large and even some window chalkboards. Yes...I'm taking old windows and adding some unique items to them for some one of a kind chalkboards. My first one went to my daughter and SIL as a Christmas gift...now let's take a look at what it looked like. Looking forward to making more of these next week, so please be sure to check back in to see what I do with them.
Happy to have you here,
Linda

Adorable! I'm sure they will love it, Linda. Would you mind sharing your chalkboard paint brand and brush vs. roller? I'll look to see if I can find the same brand here. Also, if you have a moment and don't mind, do you paint right over the glass? I've sort of missed the whole chalkboard boat and would love to try one.
love it! Happy New Year to you! xoxo
So cute! I have something similar on my DIY to do list.
That is ADORABLE! Love the little flower. Makes it perfect. :)
Very cute! I've never seen burlap wire -- that is awesome!
That is darling Linda!! I love the the knob!!
Love the chalk board windows Linda!
Love this!!! Where do we find burlap wire? I have never seen this...and I can think of so many uses for it.
Linda, the burlap knob is darling and writing with chalk is somehow soothing to me. Does it take us back to our childhood but without returning to school? Have a Happy New Year. Olive
Love the chalkboard, Linda. And, you have to tell me about the little burlap flower.
Thank you for the reminder, I have not made any for my booth for quite a while, yours are darling, I have never made any from windows what a cute idea!

Cute idea! Happy New Year Linda!
Hi Linda,
I love your chalkboard. I've been on a roll making them too. I have a big can of paint and I want to use it all! LOL!
So far, I haven't sold any. I'm glad that yours are selling.

I love chalkboards, too, Linda. I'm just running out of places to put them. I've got a great frame that I wanted to make into a chalkboard, but I'm still thinking on where I would hang it if I did.
Chalkboards are so fun!! I love the one you just showed us! I made my first one this summer and added metal scrapbook sayings to mine and a silk flower. You can do so much with these! Enjoy and Happy New Year to you and your family!!
Super cute wishing you and your family and blessed and Happy New Year

Hi Linda,
Great job on the chalkboard! I love, love, love the embellishment on it. I'm guessing it was a huge hit with your daughter and SIL!

Linda I want to make a chalkboard for my desk area. I am so behind the curve,,,Can you spray it on glass, canvas, mirror etc. Any kind of priming? Any material NOT to paint it on? I just want to do it right the first time!
Wishing You and Yours all the best in 2012!
