Chalk It Up – Repurposed Baking Pan into Chalkboard

In its younger days, this was a regular silver cookie sheet, but it had browned as much as
the cookies that had baked on it and I loved the way it aged.I planned to use it as a magnet board in my kitchen, but alas, it wasn’t magnetic. I knew I could still bake up something with it – just not cookies.  It just needed that chalkboard ingredient!

When my youngest son saw it, he said, “You haven’t baked cookies in forever.”  Well, forever is an exaggeration, but not since Christmas and I can’t remember when before that, so this will be a good reminder for me.

I love the chalky residue left by “priming” it with the chalk – it’s almost like flour on the pan.

Since I already had the paint out and didn’t want to clean the brush after using it just that little bit, I looked around for what else, needed a little blackboard love.

I bought a stack of small, old dry erase boards last week and planned to turn them into framed chalkboards, but spotted my stash of old metal clothing hangers.  I’d rather have something hanging on the wall than setting somewhere so this was a better choice.

I’ve got chalkboard fever right now, so nothing is safe from my paintbrush.

  1. What a cute idea! When my grandmother died, I inherited most of her kitchen… she has some old pieces that aren’t really cooking-worthy right now, but I had to hang on to them for the sentiment… Maybe I’ll have to do something like this to them! 🙂
