Hi there everyone.
Start of a new Year and thinking of new ideas and things to create on a thrifty budget!
That’s what I am doing:) Hope you are too.
Good you came to the right place!
Ever wonder how to chalkboard a cutting board?
Sure you have…good, I am here to show you how.
Hope you are doing well and destressing from the holiday.
This craft is something easy, personal and budget friendly that you can make for someone any time of the year or occasion.
I picked up these cutting boards at our local grocery store.
I thought they were so cute.
I could not just leave well enough alone with these.
As you can see they came with a cute little Christamas tree spreader.
Out came the chalky paint in black.
After painted with the chalky paint in two coats
{that paint is available on line at Home depot}
seasoned with my chalk after completely dry.
I added my Debbiedoo’s original.
A rooster.
You can also personalize these cutting boards with a name, or saying. I chose to keep some plain and personalize some others for gifts.
Just that simple!
You may recall my chalkboard tags from my diy hostess gift idea.
thanks for stopping by today.
Follow me around if you like.

January 3 at 7:55 pmWhat an awesome idea….but what stood out to me is the word “believe”. That’s the word I chose for 2014…or felt God prompt me to choose. This is just yet another confirmation!!!
