A Simple Project Day...
Monday, May 24, 2010
Today I worked on another message board project...a very simple one, that could be adapted for many other projects! I had two vintage green blackboards (or would they be greenboards?)~ measuring 10-1/2" x 13", they are a cute size for a message board. I used some rub-on words that I had leftover from another project...I'm sure the "remember" words were meant for another meaning, but hey, it works...
I glued on some old wood scrabble trays for chalk holders and a metal clip for paper messages. I'm going to drill small holes at the top corners for easy hanging.
A very simple project- kids could do this one, too! I'll leave you with some shots from my front entry...just love the colors this year!
Until next time...

ReplyDeleteI have to get up off the couch and go dig through my recycle. I tossed my scrabble game after taking out all the letter tiles. I couldn't figure out what to do with the letter holders!!!!
Where did you get the cute-as-pie chalk boards??
Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteAnother great idea!!! Fun finds also from the garage sales.
Isn't our weather something!!!
I was happy to rescue those cards..usually they keep them and sell them at the estate sales..
Warmly,
Deb :)
