Money saving Chalk Boards ( another expensive catalog do it yourself)

Hello Everyone, I have another expensive catalog money saving , do it yourself. This will save you tons of money.  And you will have extra paint left over for other projects.

So let's start with the expensive catalog version: These range from 69.00 to 399.99 !!!!!

So the first thing I did was start looking around the goodwill and thrift store for a frame with good bones. You can paint the frame whatever color suits you. My Idea was to paint it white, but after looking at it for awhile I left it alone. However, nothing says I won't go back and do it.  I found this frame at the goodwill. It had a mirror in it with yellow sunflowers painted on it. The cost was 3.99 . I didn't need the mirror, so I went out to my car and popped it out and returned it to the goodwill as a donation. And in return they gave me a 20% coupon for my next purchase. Score! 

Starting project

-You can use any frame that suits you

- If your frame has no backing or you need to pop out a old picture, just paint the wall behind it with roll on chalkboard paint , and hang your picture over it.
