Staple Gun to attach staples to the ribbon or twine to the back of the board
This is the easiest thing in the world to make! First you start off with a cupboard door any size (these can be found at places like Habitat for Humanity, thrift shops or cabinet shops). Then you need to sand the door a little bit. You then spray paint the outside part of the door and let it dry. Next paint the inside part of the door with chalkboard paint (the kind you paint on with a brush) Try to do it as neatly as you can. Then once that dries, attach the ribbon or twine to the back with a staple gun (Do this by tying a knot with the ribbon and then staple right above that so that it stays in place. You are now done and ready to enjoy your new chalkboard!!!
Karins Kottage
Welcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!
