How to Make a Chalkboard With a Old Frame

I love trying something new! New for me at least and maybe for you also. My mom called or texted awhile back and said I have two older frames do you want them? Umm.. yes please!! I said yes before I even knew what they looked like. I’m glad I did because who doesn’t love a do it yourself wood project? I was really excited when I saw how big they were… Perfect for a present for my nieces.
Isn’t she lovely??? Propped up against my beautiful garage paneling with battery jumper cables behind:) BTW… Why aren’t these in my vehicle?
Paint (I had chalkboard paint so I didn’t prime)
The below picture was taken in the backseat of my vehicle after my purchase…
I should of asked him to cut it while I was there… it would of been much easier.. but I didn’t… I cut the piece down to size with my jig saw at home (p.s. I need more work on the jig saw)
Should I add glitter to the frame for a couple of little girls? It’s a question I keep asking myself.. Will there father be mad… or will he simply shake his head like normal? hehe!
Enjoyed the project?

Lori O'Farrill on Sep 09, 2016I used the E6000 glue with my frame and plywood. I generously applied the glue and let it sit for a day or two. Maybe add a couple of nails to the back for additional support. GOOD LUCK!!!
