DIY Chalk Board Wood Slice

I saw my super crafty friend Jill make one of these and I was dying to get my hands on one so I asked her how hard it would be and got some info from her and it didn't feel as hard so I gave it a go! Like I said, she's super crafty and I was pretty worried I'm so glad I tried it though! Even better was if I messed up the whole project didn't cost more than $15, and I wouldn't have to re-purchase paint just the wood.

Here are the super simple instructions:

Step One:

purchased products (wood slice, chalk board paint)

Step Two

apply first coat

Step Three:

apply second coat

Step Four:

apply third coat

Step Five:

condition by rubbing chalk all over board and allowing to set.

Step Six:

use a dry cloth to wipe chalk off
(this is really messy and I ended up doing it over my sink)

Step Seven

dry wiping done

Step Eight:

slightly wet cloth , allow to dry

Step Ten:

ready to decorate

There you have it! Your very own wood slice chalk board. I'm really excited to hang this over Baby's crib but I'm also considering buying other color chalk paint and doing this for Christmas gifts (perhaps another one for our kitchen or front door).
