Book Page Frame Chalkboard

I found this great old frame at an antique sale.  It was in rough shape, but I loved its size and shape.


I painted the edges with creamy white, making sure to paint a little border on the inside so no wood could show around the pages. Then I just applied the book pages using Mod Podge.



I used a mixture of book pages with different shades.  I don't know if you can see it, but on the top, I used a page from a hymnal with the title "Count Your Blessings".  It's fun to throw in little details like that.  Plywood painted with chalkboard paint was screwed to the back.  This one is going to my space at the antique mall.




I just love, love, love, book page and sheet music projects and I have another one to share soon.  I hope you will come back to see it.  Meanwhile, I'll be joining all these ladies for some blog parties.

  30. I drop a leave a response each time I appreciate a post on a site or I have something to add to the conversation.
    Usually it is triggered by the fire communicated in the post I
    read. And on this post "Book Page Frame Chalkboard".
    I was actually moved enough to post a commenta response ;) I do have a couple of questions for you if it's okay. Could it be simply me or does it look like like some of these responses appear like they are left by brain dead folks? :-P And, if you are writing at other social sites, I'd like to
    follow you. Would you list the complete urls of all your community sites
    like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?

  46. The Razer Goliathus is usually a excellent mouse mat as well
    as the League of Legends fight scene really includes a nice look to it even when you might be not a lover with the sport style.
    That's ideal, League of Legends is a hundred% cost-free. It really is considerably less complicated and more affordable to maintenance every thing right before surveying the boat than to pay to get it accomplished later on.
