Chalkboard Window

I really wanted to be one of those pinner's that actually did the pins they dreamed of doing. So with that said here is my new blog of things I have created from my own ideas and from pinterest.

First documented project: Window Chalkboard

What you will need
Old window any size
Rustoleum chalkboard paint
3-4 inch cut in tape
tools to remove the handle when you're ready to paint
paint for the woodwork
any adornments you like/love!

Here is a picture of the window's before. All you need are old windows make sure you clean the glass with windex! The cleaner the surface the better.

My husband got in on putting the cut in tape on the woodwork. You can buy the cream colored cut in tape at your local hardware store. 

 I used a magazine to also protect from the chalkboard paint. It really wasn't necessary. The second window I did I just taped it off.

First coat of chalkboard paint. I let this dry overnight. The next afternoon I applied a 2nd coat, let it sit for 20 minutes and applied the final 3rd coat. 

Waiting for the paint to dry...

Here is the chalkboard window before I painted it and applied the decor 

I took the handle off to get a better paint application. When I painted the wood I applied 2 coats right away. I went for a brushed look. All you have to do is paint the sides top and bottom 2 times. 

Then I used a glue gun to apply the flowers I purchased at Hancock fabric. You can use anything really :) 

Here is a close up of the flowers I added and the little pendant. This was such an easy project! I hope you have fun trying it out as well :) feel free to email me if you're interested in purchasing one. I have 10 windows left and can customize them for you. epeterson177@gmail.com Or if you have any questions on how to do this yourself!
