Bear & Honey

I finished the chalkboard project just in time for a little bit of Christmas decorating.
After the steps I described in the first post, I used some wood glue to stick the boards onto the back of the frames, added a couple of nails just for extra security, and let them dry for a day.  I stacked books on top of them to weigh down the frames and make sure the glue really stuck.

Here’s what one of the finished boards looks like:

Once the boards were finished, the last step was to “cure” them with some chalk.   All I had to do was use the side of a piece of  chalk to completely coat the board in a soft layer of chalkdust, then wipe that away.   Then, they were done!

I  used this one to decorate our mantel for Christmas.

Hope you’ve all had a Happy Holiday!
