Pallet Frame Farmhouse Chalkboard

Pallet Frame Farmhouse Chalkboard

Several years ago, I made a pallet wood frame chalkboard.

Tutorial HERE.

It was mainly used to put flowers in jar I had attached.

The chalkboard and wood frame were intentionally left rough when I originally made it.

It wasn’t intended to be used as a chalkboard.

But I wanted to give it a makeover like you’d see in an old grocery store.

This time, I wanted it as smooth as possible.

The frame was sanded much smoother and given a fresh coat of stain.

Now I could use an adhesive stencil (transfer) on one side.

I had only used one small piece of the Groceries transfer set when I made the Farmhouse Chickens TV Tray.

Using the large word fit great.  I just needed to make sure to place the design slightly off-center so I wouldn’t be putting color on the old nails.

Then my husband cut a pre-made piece of chalkboard and screwed it on the back of the frame.

It comes in a 2′ x 4′ piece that I ordered HERE for under $17, and I used the rest to make smaller chalkboards.

It turned out even better than I’d hoped.

There was still another piece of the transfer that I hadn’t used yet.

It’s an adorable old-fashioned dairy milk can and I just had to use it.

Several years ago, I bought a set of three ceramic canisters at a thrift store.

You can see what I used the smallest one of them for HERE.

But I still hadn’t done anything with the other two.  They were just dust collectors in my window.

Now I set out to remedy that and add the milk can to the tallest one.

If you’ve followed my blog for any length of time, you know I dearly love anything that says “milk and cream.”

So much so that I even designed a Milk and Cream Co. stencil that’s part of my line of Vintage Sign Stencils!

  1. That’s a cool chalkboard GROCERIES sign, Angie. And useful as a grocery list reminder. I didn’t realize you could buy ready-made chalkboard. I have an open frame from an old sign that I have wanted to make into a chalkboard for my grandsons and I’ve been putting off because I was dreading finding material to put in the frame to paint with chalkboard paint. It would be so much easier just to use the readymade chalkboard. Now I know it exists.

    Thanks for the show and tell and the chalkboard idea.
