Framed Chalkboard

A framed chalkboard is great for leaving yourself little reminders or notes for the kids. This project has the three qualities we love most: inexpensive, easy & quick (not to mention it looks great)!

What You Need:

  • 8.5 x10 Frame (The one used here was $2 at WalMart)
  • Chalkboard Spray Paint
  • White Spray Paint / White Spray Primer
  • Ribbon

How To Make It:
  • Remove glass from frame.
  • Paint glass with chalkboard spray paint (will need 2-3 coats, allowing them to completely dry between coats)
  • Paint frame with white spray paint (may want to use a primer first if frame is very dark or intricately patterned). At least 3 coats will be needed, drying completely between each coat.
  • Once frame and glass are dry, put them back together.
  • Attach ribbon to back of frame using either hot glue or a staple gun, and your new chalkboard is ready to hang on the wall!

    The RICE principles are derived from the Sports Medicine Book by Dr. Gabe Mirkin in 1978 and consist of four key points:Rest (R-rest),Ice-（I-ice pack),Compression (C-compression),Elevation (E-elevation).
