Fancy Chalkboard

 Well again I found around our home a... well actually don't know what it was. It had two holes at the top for picture frames. The glass was cracked so I removed them. The middle was a scuffed up mirror. The bottom had two broken hooks which again I removed. So I was left with a structure with holes. 

Yikes. I knew this was going to be a hard one. I found in my craft room some pieces of thick wood. Which of course was to long. I cut it in half with my scroll saw and glued it perfectly with wood glue in the two top holes. Now the middle. I thought about putting another piece of wood. After a long thought I searched my craft room and found an old chalkboard. Again I cut it with my scroll saw, and glued it perfectly in place. After that I painted the frame Burgundy and distressed it with black to make it look antique. Then glued some matching paper to the wood. Sealed everything in sealer. Then set to dry. Here is the finished result.

I painted the back black, but I left the chalkboard the brown color. This is great to hang in any kitchen.
