Chalkboard Project Progress

   To start my chalkboard with a wine cork frame I made a list of all the things I would need.  I thought, if I could find a chalkboard than I could create the frame myself, add the hangers on the back then BOOM! I'm done. I was wrong. 

   I started my search at Michael's for a boring black chalk board with no frame.  I was shocked to find they did not have any chalkboards.  Not one.  So I stopped at GW School Supplies (where I wanted to go initially) and they definitely had plain chalkboards but they were all green, and the black one was framed and sort of a plastic not a wood board.  This would not be rustic enough so I gave up the search for the chalkboard.  I decided the only way people have a chalkboard now is to do it myself with Chalkboard Paint.  So I went straight to Home Depot and picked up a can of black Rust-Oleum Chalkboard spray paint for $4.99. 

  My new plan is to find a frame from a thrift store so I don't have to work it all from scratch.  I plan to just paint the wood and glue down all the other items onto then I should be done.  Who knows right now?  This weekend was a bust so wish me luck on my search for a thrift store frame that will do the job.
