DIY Chalkboard Wall Hanging‎ Tutorial

The kids spent an afternoon at Orchard Supply Hardware making the cutest chalkboard wall hanging. Luckily, I have two boys – so that means two chalkboards for my home!!! I fully plan on taking one of them to hold some of my jewelry. I mean, these wall hangings are super functional and they were handmade with love.

Orchard Supply Hardware had everything we needed for the project and the kids had it done pretty quick. It would have been quicker if we hadn’t shopped around for so long. Besides this cute project, we ended up leaving with new succulents, some potting soil and tiny decorative rocks to top our new plants. Oh, and candy – because OSH has the best retro candy at its checkout lanes.

You can find all these products at your local hardware store. We had a blast doing this project and watching the kids accomplish a feat like using the drill and painting was a much needed reminder that they’re old enough for more complex projects.
