I actually did two chalkboard crafts. I had been planning on painting some old chipped mugs with chalkboard paint, but then I got a free door. And I couldn’t resist painting it.
My parents are having their bathroom redone and one day I went over and this door was sitting in their driveway in a heap of stuff to be taken to the dump. I think the contractor thought I was a little crazy when I asked if I could have the door, but I was happy as I put it in the back of my truck and took it home.
Here it is unpainted and laying on my driveway. I wrapped the doorknob in foil to try to keep paint off of it.
Now it’s hanging out on my back porch and the kids are having fun drawing all over it.
They were also pretty streaky after the first coat.

These look so great! I’ve been meaning to make a chalkboard out of something, it just hasn’t struck me yet!
Thanks! I had been wanting to do some chalkboard projects and it took being in charge of this display to finally get me to do them! (I still have an old desk sitting outside that I want to paint the top of with chalkboard paint.)
