I made this chalkboard for our front hall. The board is made from sheet metal painted with chalkboard paint. The frame is moulding with corner pieces.
This growth chart is made from a 1x8 piece of pre-primed mdf. I measured and drew lines and added lettering and vinyl numbers with my handy dandy Silhouette machine. I then cut green vinyl for the stem and added wall sticker flowers and insects that I found at Dollar Tree. Every six months, we mark each child in their own color with the date.
I bought a Scrabble game at DI for a couple of bucks and decided to make this artwork to hang in our game room in the basement. I glued the tiles to the board and made a frame from moulding to fit. Unfortunately, the corners did not match well this time for some reason, so I found some thin wood squares at WalMart. I printed scrabble letters from the internet, Modge Podged them to the squares with a quick topcoat and then glued them to the corners of the frame. I think it turned out fun!
