How to Make A Chalk Board Frame Tutorial

Hello Ladies, and diy'ers. Sorry it took so long to post these. The process of repainting and redecorating was longer than I had anticipated. 
Chalk board frames seem to be the new thing. Every where I go to get decor for our home has some new way of using it in your house. Since I had these old pictures that did not coordinate with my new decor. I decided to transform them into Chalk board frames.
Here is how I made mine!

Things you will need for this project
  • Can of Rust-oleum Chalk Board spray paint
  • Blanket or drape cloth
  • Sanding sponge
  • Rag or wet cloth
  • Old pictures
  • Chalk
Now lets get started 
Here is the exact chalk board spray paint I used one can will easily do at least 3-4 big frames
Here is the picture I used 
Here is the smaller picture I used. Sand the glass a little then wipe down with wet cloth and allow to dry
Tape the frame and be careful not to tape the glass I did and you can see it through the paint 
First coat will look funny. I followed directions on can. It said to spray side to side then next coat go in opposite direction  
 Here is after 3rd coat and dry, I did 6 coats because since it was on glass and not a textured surface figured that would help it last longer
 Finished product. When it is dry rub chalk all over board and then it is ready for use. I used permanent marker to fill in the blank spots.


Smaller one completed and hung up in kitchen 


I hope you enjoyed this post and I will be going to some thrift stores to make more of these.
Thank you for visiting.
God Bless,
Lea
