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, and
on the second section I added cork for a bulletin board.


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. 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'?

  10. @ 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....

  12. 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?
