Chalkboard Made From a Cabinet Door

I have a stash of old cabinet doors that I've gotten while curbside shopping.

They look like they are large frames, so I've had a good time using them in projects.

For today's project, I turned one into a chalkboard.

I sanded around the edges, then painted the center with chalkboard paint.

Then I added a drawer pull at the bottom to hold chalk.

 

If you happen to see a stack of cabinet doors out at the trash pile, pick them up.

You can do so much with them.

Go here and see how I turned one into a clipboard

and here to see how I turned one into a chalkboard tray.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

Cabinet Door Clipboard Display

I have a slew of old cabinet doors set aside for crafting.

Sometime ago, my neighbor threw away a huge pile of them, and I claimed them for my own.
 I got one out for today's project . . .

and made it into a large clipboard display.
 

 I started by sanding the "frame" of the door with my hand sander.
Then I cut a piece of wallpaper to fit and used spray adhesive to adhere it inside the "frame".

I added a hanger to the back. . .

 and a Tim Holtz clip to the front.
I measured to make sure there would be enough room to fit a 8 1/2"x 11" piece of paper on it.

I've placed a quote printable on it, but it would look cute with a photo as well.
I'm thinking I'll add this to the gallery wall I'm planning in our living room.

If you like this printable, you can get it here.
Go here and here to see other projects I've made using these cabinet doors.

Thanks for stopping by and God bless.

For the Lord is great 

and greatly to be praised

How I Turned A Cabinet Door Into Chalkboard Tray

I have a big stack of cabinet doors that I rescued from the curb.

You can go here to read about how I found them.

Check out what I did with one of them. . .

 You'd never guess that this tray was once was a discarded old cabinet door.

I sanded the frame, then painted the center with chalkboard paint.

To finish it off, my hubby added some handles.

 

The final step was adding some felt sliders to the bottom on all four corners.

I think I could also prop it up on a counter and add a daily quote.

It's the perfect size for serving some drinks.

You can go here and see another project using some of these cabinet doors.

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks so much for stopping by and God bless.

For where your treasure is, 

there your heart will be also.
