This project began with another repurposed kitchen
cabinet door.
A repurposed cabinet door and a piece of chalkboard I found at Tuesday Morning, a store by me that has a little of everything.
The first thing I needed to do was to choose a color for my cabinet door and since I love green I decided on a chalky paint by DecoArt that would be the perfect "garden green".
I stenciled a bee from the DecoArt stencil Americana Decor Collection onto the chalkboard in white so it looked like chalk but would always be there. I then cut the chalkboard to fit the center of the cabinet door and used wood glue to adhere it.
The bee came in a pack of 2 stencils with a couple of cute bird stencils.
Once I glued the chalkboard into the center of the cabinet door I added a Scrabble ledge to hold the chalk. I also wanted to make an eraser so I chose an image from the internet and glued it to an old eraser I had in my classroom.
I covered the glued image with packing tape to protect the paper from wear.
It was the perfect size for the chalk ledge and bonus... it is magnetic and can stick to the metal ruler too!
The last addition to the cabinet door was a metal 12" ruler I attached with screws to the top. I added magnet letters that said GROW. This is a great place to hang a seed package.
The repurposed cabinet door couldn't look cuter as a chalkboard for the garden shed or the kitchen.
