(And one you've undoubtedly seen hundreds of versions of already.) But once again, this is just my version ... I hope you like it!
For starters, this week, I left the glass in tact. (Sorry, no stress therapy this week!)
Simply slap on a couple layers of chalkboard paint, drill a few holes across the bottom, and screw in some knobs!
I bought my knobs at Cost Plus World Market for $1.95 each.
I have a crazy phobia of chalk. The thought of it seriously makes me shudder and gives me chills.
I never claimed to be normal. I have issues, OK?
And yes, I'm a school teacher. Thank the good Lord dry erase boards have replaced chalkboards (in my school, anyway!)
Lucky for me, they have these awesome Chalk Ink markers at the craft store now!
(I got a set of 4 for about $12.00. Worth every penny!)
Plus, writing with the chalk markers makes your words stand out so much more than regular ol' chalk...
Love this quote, love all things Disney .... PERFECT!
I hung it in my front entryway .... LOVE IT!
ANYONE can do this project! Get yourself a window and have fun :-)
I love how this turned out! I have several old windows waiting to be redone.
ReplyDeleteLove that Quote-When my kid was little I had it on her wall. Love the chalkboard idea.
ReplyDeleteI. Love. This.
ReplyDeleteI have a question- where can you find old windows? At flea markets? I love this so much and suppose I could use something other than a window.
Oh and those chalk pens used to only be available online and really expensive so I am excited that they are finally in stores and cheaper...they used to be over 15 bucks for just one.
That's funny, I have just been searching all over online for directions for doing homemade chalk boards...I saw them on Etsy and fell in LOVE!! This is gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThat is too cute! I seriously could not get mine turn out that cute! haha.

ReplyDeleteLove it!!! we have some old windows that we could do that with, great idea!
ReplyDeleteI hate chalk too...amazing that we are both teachers! LOL, love the window.
ReplyDeleteLove this project! Thanks for visiting my blog after you saw it on I Heart Naptime! I love her and I really appreciate your comment! Your blog is super cute by the way!!! Great job!!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea! We should move in together and cover our walls with old windows! haha! Between my Window Pane Coat Rack and your ideas we could seriously fill every inch of every wall! haha!
ReplyDeleteI love how finished it looks. That's the trouble re-purposing things...sometimes they look like they still have work to be done :) Love it! Sarah from practicalpraise.blogspot.com
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this! So cute! It looks amazing! I am now on the hunt for an old window.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazingly cute! My daughter would love this, she says this all the time (it's in the Tinkerbell movies)Looks GREAT!

ReplyDeleteWould that be called "chalkophobia"? :-) Your project turned out just fabulously and I am definitely going to be trying those chalk markers!
