DIY Chalkboard Projects

Since it’s back-to-school time, the first thing that comes to my mind is chalkboards.  So today I’m talking about DIY Chalkboard Projects.

Chalkboards seem out of date in many classrooms, but they are still hugely popular, especially as chalkboard projects.

Most of these projects were done with good old Chalkboard Paint and a brush.

It’s inexpensive and makes a lot of projects.

Some were done with spray paint and one was a purchased chalkboard, cut to size.

First up is a School Primer Alphabet Chalkboard Sign on Salvaged Wood, just like an actual antique school primer page.

I don’t have a link for this Chalkboard Folding Table.  It was a project I made and sold quite a few years ago.

It was a sturdy wooden table that only needed chalkboard paint and some fresh wood stain.

You don’t come across wood folding tables these days, but I wish I would.
