Disclosure: This post is brought to you by Coupons.com. I received a giftcard to Jo-Ann’s to purchase supplies for this project; however, all opinions are my own.
Hi friends! It’s right around the corner – time for Back to School! And you know what that means? Time to ramp up those Back to School crafts and gifts! And today I not only have a fun {easy} one to share with you, but be sure to stick around til the end for an AMAZING giveaway you won’t want to miss!
First up – I want to show you how I made this quick and adorable Chalkboard Magnetic Teacher Memo Board! I headed down to Joann’s to pick up all the things I needed for this project.
What you’ll need:
- Metal memo board
- Chalkboard spray paint
- Adhesive magnets
- Clothespins
- Wooden letters
- DecoArt white acrylic paint
- Washi tape
- Chalk
And the steps:
1. First I spray painted the metal memo board with a few light coats of chalkboard spray paint.
2. I then made clothespin, letter and washi tape magnets as seen below for fun additions to the magnetic memo board.
3. After 24 hours I conditioned the board with chalk and added the homemade magnets for an adorable result!
So fun, right? And so easy to replicate! And the best thing – I’m not sure what my son’s teacher’s name is for this year yet – so I can just update that once I do know. The awesomeness of chalkboards, right? Want more fun Back to School ideas?
Now to the REALLY fun part, the giveaway! This post is brought to you by Coupons.com. They recently reached out to a group of us and challenged us to create these Back to School projects.
