Chalkboard Frame

I had started the project a while back, but never gotten it how I wanted it. At first, I used green chalkboard paint, but the chalk doesn't really show up on green.
Finally I decided just to go with the original black.

I just used a regular 8x10 frame and painted right on the glass.
You need:
Frame w/ glass
Paint (preferably acrylic because it's easier to clean up after)
Grout

There is many recipes on Pinterest for chalkboard paint, but I don't really measure I just dumb some grout in the paint and stir it up. (That's Rachel Ray style... "Ah...that looks like enough!")

I also painted the frame. I didn't want just a plain black frame, but if you have a frame that you like, viola... you're set!

I put my frame on some newspaper to spray paint. I came back to see if it was dry and found this! I thought it was picture perfect!

Stick it all together and you get....

I have now filled out this weeks menu! This has never worked for me before, but maybe now I'll have a new motivation!
2 days down!

I hung it with a aluminum can tab. (which I also found on pinterest)

This was super easy and way better then trying to find the ring that always falls down before you get it on the nail... you know what I'm talking about!!

So I just screwed it on and bent it out a little so it is not right up against the frame!

There you have it! A project finished!!
