How to Make a Schoolhouse Chalkboard
Today I'm creating an old schoolhouse reproduction.
I love chalkboards and I love vintage...
Today they came together in an old school
house reproduction.
Like the roll-up maps of olden days, this chalkboard can be folded up and stored away.

I cut off a piece of an old roller shade then sanded it to give it character and something for the paint to hold onto.
Next I painted the shade with chalkboard paint.
I sandwiched the shade between distressed and stained boards on both the front and back for durability.
The distressed chalkboard and the weathered wood gives this chalkboard a uniquely vintage feel.
The best part is that you can remove it from the wall, roll it up, and store it away when not in use.
