Cookie Sheet Chalkboard

Hello friends! Hope you are all having a good day!

I thought I would share with you a very quick project today. On the weekend when I was snowed in I decided to get to work on a few little projects I'd been wanting to do for a while and this is one of them.

I loved this idea from Emily about making a chalkboard out of a wooden cutting board:

{find it}

Cute, right? However, I didn't have a wooden cutting board on hand, but I did have a cookie sheet that I wasn't using. {Plus, I'm 99% certain I've seen the idea of applying chalkboard paint to cookie sheets floating around Pinterest}. So I got to work.

All this project involved was chalkboard paint & an old cookie sheet {or a new one I guess}. Next up, get painting. I did 3 coats to get it fully covered and waited about an hour between each coat {as per the instructions on the paint label}. Depending on the paint, and your cookie sheet, it may only take 2 for you. However, I would definitely recommend more than 1 coat of paint to be sure the surface is fully covered.

*I promise you the cookie sheet in the above photo is clean*

Once you have applied your 2-3 coats of paint, let the piece sit and dry for about 3 days. After that you should be good to go! Before writing on it chalk it up {take a piece of chalk and run it on it's side all over the piece}. Wipe clean & then message away!

I think it will be great for writing down things we need:

Or just fun messages:

So there you have it. If you're looking for something to chalkboard, look no further than your kitchen cupboards!

Hope you're all having a wonderful week!
