My sister and I love to have a ‘crafternoon’ on the rare
occasion that we are both off on the same day. This week we were digging in the
back of the ‘man shed’ looking for paintbrushes when we rediscovered a tin of
blackboard paint which I bought last year in Wilkinson for a rainy day project!
After dusting off the cobwebs we headed to the nearest charity shop to find
some inspiration for our project and came across a cute picture in a wooden
frame which was destined for a different life!
We dismantled the frame and painted the glass with the
blackboard paint – it dries slightly streaky so we needed to give it two coats
for a good finish. We also gave the wooden frame a couple of coats of white
emulsion as her kitchen has duck egg blue and white colour scheme.
When everything was dry we reassembled the frame and glass
and attached a hook on the back to hang the blackboard, but it just didn’t look
right...
After a quick think I knew what would finish the project
off....bunting of course! I dug out my old copies of Country Home Magazine and
we found some pictures of blue fabric and attached them to some blue thread I
had for cross stitching.
Ta dah! One beautiful new blackboard!
(Apologies for the DARK pictures...it was late evening when it was finally finished!)
If you like my new look, why not follow me?
Until next time,
