Mini Chalkboard

I wish I was better at drawing.

When I was little,

my momma tried to get me to take art lessons.

At the time,

art wasn't my main interest,

so I didn't take the classes.

As I look back,

I really wish I had.

I would love to be able to write and draw pretty.

Maybe I will take a class now...

It's never too late.

Especially since I'm only 13!

Sorry,

I just needed to give myself a quick pep talk.

Now on to my mini chalkboard!

I found this ugly wooden thing at Goodwill.
I guess this was the style at some point?

I really liked the wood base,

but I wasn't very fond of the geese...

So, I changed it!

I gathered my supplies...

-wood base

(There is always one at Goodwill!)

-paintbrush

-chalkboard paint

-sandpaper

-fabric flowers

(Any embellishment's would work, but you can learn how to make the flowers here.)

I sanded the wood base,

so I could have a smooth surface to paint on.

I painted it.

I had to do two coats!

Then I waited for it to dry...

Once it dried,

I hot glued the flowers on.
I also added a green burlap leaf.

It ended up looking really cute in my room!

Y'all have fun crafting,

Daisy
