Greetings, Friends! Welcome to the Creative Craft Blog Hop hosted this month by Sara from Birdz of a Feather! Are you drawn to chalkboard menus and signs? If you love the look but freehand lettering isn't your strength, today I'll show you my simple tips for creating decorative chalkboards of all sizes
If you hopped over after visiting Suzanne from Shop at Blu, isn't her St. Patrick's Day wreath, darling? Here's a quick before and after of my chalkboard where it's currently displayed on my plant sanctuary gallery wall. Ready to make your own?
1. Stencil it! If you have a certain message or design in mind, you can probably find just the right stencil or create unique messages like mine by combining individual letter and word stencils--the stick-on varieties make it even easier.
2. Instead of chalk, I use a white pencil. It's easier to use than chalk but still erases if you make a mistake or want to change the message.
This is such a fun way to personalize a space or gallery wall. The possibilities are endless--what will you stencil on your chalkboard?
Next up--check out the lovely Boho Wall Decor by Donna from Modern on Monticello! Enjoy visiting the rest of today's featured bloggers below:
Love your sign and white pencil is brilliant Cecilia! I'd never have thought of that. I haven't grown rosemary in a while, so thanks for the reminder :)
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sara!
DeleteYour plants and sign display are charming. I didn't know the tip about using a white pencil instead of chalk. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Donna!
DeleteThis is certainly an attractive and engaging way to make a chalkboard display, Cecilia! I especially love the unusual way of using a white pencil instead of chalk! How cool is that!
