Hi y'all!
This awesome Crafty hangout video is brought to you today by Adtech Adhesives**. THANK YOU ADTECH! They are truly awesome sponsors and I really loved doing this project. I've had several vintage windows in my shed for awhile. I turned a few of them into chalkboards and used one for a photo shoot, but I really wanted to make one of them into a command center to give as a Christmas gift. When I saw the awesome dot tape runner in my fabulous box of goodies from Adtech, I knew JUST what to do with it!
Check out this video for my tutorial, then head over to craftyhangouts.com for MORE awesome videos using Adtech products as well as this month's sponsors!
Here are some pictures of the finished product!
Instead of putting chicken wire in it like I had planned, I cut a piece of foam board to fit very snugly inside of the panel. Before placing it in, I painted it with chalkboard paint. It required about 3 coats for it to be even and completely black. I let it dry overnight and cured it once it was completely dry. To cure it, I simply lightly shaded the entire surface with some chalk and let it sit that way for 24hrs according to the instructions on the paint can. Then, I just popped it in.
I ordered a poster size piece of cork board online and cut it the pieces to fit the panels as well.
The paper behind the glass is firmly secured but may be swapped out for different seasons. Instead of a Christmas bow on the top, you can hot glue something less holiday inspired and use it year round. Doesn't this just make a wonderful DIY gift for a sweet friend?!
