Chalkboard Grocery List: Friday’s Project #2

Another craft-based solution this week! I was looking for a way to keep track of my grocery list that didn’t require losing or misplacing a pad of paper. The solution? Make the inside of a kitchen cupboard into a chalkboard! Easy. As. Pie.

You will need:

• Chalkboard paint—I prefer the brush-on paint, rather than the spray paint, it makes a better surface.
• 3” Foam brush
• Chalk

1. Remove the cupboard door—this project is much easier if you remove the door before you begin.
2. Sand the inside of the door lightly and wipe away all dust.
3. Paint on the chalkboard paint with a foam brush. Mine needed two coats. Make sure you let each coat dry thoroughly between coats.
4. Re-hang the door.
5. Start making a grocery list!

Instead of transferring the list to paper when you’re headed to the store, save paper and take a quick picture of the list with your phone. Brilliant! Also harder to misplace!
