Supplies needed:
- Black Posterboard
- White Paint Pen
- Picture Frame
I started the project out by searching for kitchen/dining room/home-related quotes that I might have wanted to use. I also looked at chalkboard wall art pictures on pinterest and google to get inspiration for the types of fonts I wanted to use and the different ways words could be arranged on my poster board.
I cut the black posterboard down to size so that it would fit within the frame.
Then, I freehanded everything onto the black posterboard. If you are uncomfortable with the thought of free-handing your letters, you could definitely lightly pencil the words in, then trace with the white paint pen. However, I believe the little mistakes you make while free-handing add character to your piece of wall art and make it unique! So don't be afraid to attempt this without drafting it with a pencil first.
Once I was finished, I popped the posterboard into the frame and...voila!

This is what my finished product looks like:

The fun thing about this project is that the words and style you use are totally up to you! Looking at chalkboard wall art pictures gave me a lot of inspiration for this project and I definitely recommend looking at different pictures to get an idea of what you want your piece to look like. This was a quick and inexpensive project to add a little personal touch to my dining area. I hope you try this project and would love to see pictures if you do!
