After seeing so many great ideas on
Pinterest, I had been wanting to make a chalkboard, to take Parker's and baby boy #2's "
First Day of School" pictures with, to document the year in school. When I was at a garage sale a few weeks ago, I found an old mirror, that I thought would work perfectly. Plus, it was only a $1, can't beat that!
After I brought it home, I sanded the frame (it was a little dinged up) and cleaned up the mirror. Then, I sprayed two coats of Krylon's Chalkboard Spray Paint. I didn't worry about covering up the frame, while I sprayed the chalkboard paint, since I knew I would be painting it. After letting the paint dry for 24 hours, I taped up the edges of the
mirror chalkboard and painted the frame with a few coats of some red craft paint. Then, I removed the tape and let the red paint dry and ended up with a fun new chalkboard. I had all the supplies, except the mirror, so the whole project only cost $1! Gotta love cheap projects!
