Ingredients

Instructions

  • Sand the wood plank to remove rough areas and edges. Wipe away the sanding dust.
    Chalkboard paint, Mod Podge, milk paint, and a wood rectangle
  • Apply craft paint to the wood plank (both sides). Also paint the wood beads. Use enough coats to fully cover and let dry.
    Painting the wood with milk paint
  • Apply the clear chalkboard paint over the top of the paint, using 2 - 3 coats (follow bottle instructions). Let dry.
    Mod Podge clear chalkboard top coat
  • Measure and cut scrapbook paper to fit the top of the hanger. Apply Mod Podge to the hanger, smooth down the paper and let dry. Apply a top coat of Mod Podge and let dry.
  • Drill two holes into the top of your planks (you can use painter's tape to avoid splintering).
  • String the twine through both holes and tie at the top, stringing on a bead between knots. Hang.
