This one’s another simple project, but I love the impact and the possibilities: think kid’s room, dorm room, kitchen, or office. Why not use a fun message board to write reminders to yourself or notes to a roommate instead of paper?

You will need:

• A simple, standard frame with the glass removed
• masonite
• chalkboard paint

1. After removing the glass, but the piece of masonite to size to fit in your frame.
2. Coat masonite with chalkboard paint. It may take 2-3 coats to cover evenly. Allow to dry completely.
3. Put your frame back together with the chalkboard masonite piece replacing the glass

This would be a great message board to place outside a dorm room in place of a white board. If you want more color, simply paint the frame prior to putting the pieces back together.
