Junk Inspired Memo Board


How to make a hanging Memo Board
from the junk in my garage...

I divided up the board into 3 spaces.
Painted one section with chalkboard paint.... 


On the second section I added cork for a bulletin board...


And the third I left blank for hooks...


I stenciled on the words "notes" and "keys" and  
sanded for a distressed look...


The chalkboard was ready...


I added rusty screws and a canvas flower to the cork...


and hooks for keys at the bottom....


I hung the board from an old chain.


 And wouldn't you know it but Daughter #2 
snagged it for her new room!

  4. Haha! You can't turn your back for a minute, Susan! : ) My daughter has done the same thing to me. Now I try and do two of something I think she might like so we both have one!

  8. No wonder she wants it - it's good looking!! How did you stay inside the lines when painting the letters or what did you use for 'paint'?

  15. @ Joyce,
    I stuck stickers on the wood for the letters, traced around them, pulled them off, used a paint pen to paint inside and then sanded to make it look distressed....

  18. I'm Loving this, Susan. This is something I could use in my kitchen. How did you put the cork on there? Did you just use glue?
