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!

ReplyDeleteWow...just beautiful. Good job!
ReplyDeleteLove this! Nice work! Alyssa
ReplyDeleteGreat use of junk! I understand why your daughter would snag it for her own!
ReplyDeleteNo 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'?

@ Joyce,
ReplyDeleteI 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....
Susan
it's a very good idea!

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?
