FIND OF THE WEEK // Chalkboard Stencils
I just realized I should probably do a new blog post on collecting chalkboards. If you walk around my house I think you would be shocked to see how many I have hanging on my walls. Technically I think I have another collection … chalkboards (you can see when I’ve posted about them here, here and here). Big surprise.
The problem is … what do I put on them? I love writing funny things and messages but I don’t love my handwriting. Fortunately, I came up with a solution.
Chalkboard stencils!
All I did was pull out my Silhouette machine (actually that’s not true as I never actually put it away), then I designed a stencil to fit my chalkboard and the machine did the rest. I attached the stencil on the chalkboard surface and then used plain old white chalk on top of the stencil. I love the end result!
Here’s what my stencil looked like.
Obviously, I couldn’t stop after just one chalkboard so here is what I made for the one in the kitchen.
Isn’t this Rae Dunn chalkboard adorable? This will be a perfect welcome for our house guests.
What do you like to write on your chalkboards?
I painted the kick plate on my stairs with chalkboard paint and write welcome messages on them when the grandkids come, then let them erase it and do their own artwork. I love to keep little bits of it after they leave. It makes me smile.
The idea of using chalkboard stencils is so creative and practical, especially for those who don’t love their handwriting. It adds a personal touch to home decor effortlessly. For more creative and fun ideas, check out the exciting Cowboy Safari game!
