A quick stenciled chalkboard sign helped me bring the feeling of an outdoor cafe indoors for the StencilGirl Products and Walnut Hollow blog hop!
Watch A Stenciled Chalkboard Sign on YouTube.
The mini hinged signĀ was quickly transformed into a chalkboard with FolkArt’s Chalkboard paint.
For the pattern,Ā Mary Beth Shaw’s Chain Mail stencil gave me just the right amount of detail for the stenciled chalkboard sign.

What a super idea!
So cute! I shared from YouTube “)

What a great chalkboard sign.
This amazed me. The chalk board is awesome, the chalk sitting on top, brilliant.. the fact that my one little word for 2014.. is bloom.. totally AMAZING š
You rock <3 just sayin'~
This is darling. A quick gift!
Another great idea on this very versatile hop!
Great idea. I love that you’ll be able to change the word/message as your whim desires.
Love this little chalkboard! Every home need one of these! That hinged sign board from Walnut Hollow is awesome!
What a great idea to decorate a sign using stencils and blackboard paint so you can write in it! Lovely. I love these blog hops as I get so much inspiration from them. Thanks.
Great project! What a great gift this would make.
I love this little sign. I think I need one of these too š
Love your little chalkboard
You had me at “chalkboard”. Fantastic for “Carolyn’s Bistro”. I’ve been trying to get to the store to get some chalk paint. Now, I will.
This looks like a great project. I think it would be great to use the blackboards as place cards for dinner parties.
What a great idea! Thanks for sharing!
I just loved this so much. I want to go get some chalk board paint. And order that adorable sign. You are infectious carolyn dube
Fabulous idea!!
Love the counter chalkboard.. a great gift idea.
Too cute! You make every project look so easy. I love your video tutorials.
I have a question for you (aside from the giveaway) I am subscribed, plus Follow your blog, but I never receive emails from you – just wondered.
Several months ago switched email providers. Due to their rules, this meant everyone had to re-opt back in. I sent out a couple of emails but with all the gmail changes they may have gotten trapped in your spam or gmail tabs. You can opt back in with the form at the top right of blog.
As far as following the blog, if you do the RSS feed, I don’t have much control over the details with that. If you did get it at one point and are not any more then it may be in spam or for some reason be blocked by your email. I know of another person who was having RSS issues for a week and then it self corrected. Not sure why it happened or how it was fixed.
Hope this helps!
So stinkin’ cute and would make a great gift!! Thanks, Carolyn!
I love these projects to get inspired by!
Put it on the table every night with menu, so everyone knows what’s for dinner.
As usual, another awesome project, Carolyn! Thanks for the inspiration!
Love this sign ~ simple, elegant and a great idea!
Aha…. I had trouble earlier accessing the comments, but it’s working now. The concept of a tiny is really appealing to me…so many uses. Well done Carolyn….and thanks for the giveaway.
So cute Carolyn. I love how you used the reverse of the stencil to make the outer border design.
What a cute little sign board. I like the way you used the stencil to frame it.
Just love this idea!!!
Great idea–I’ve got to make one. We’ve been wanting a re-usable sign to mark items as ‘gluten free’ or ‘dairy free’ etc. for our church coffee hour as well as for a local cafe. Two chalkboard tips I learned from Claudine Hellmuth: a) you can also use black gesso the same way you used the black paint; b) any new chalkboard surface will work better if primed first by rubbing it all over with the side of a piece of chalk (although yours seemed to work just fine).
Thank you Carolyn–I LOVE your videos!
I love it! I am definitely trying chalkboard paint.
This is one of my most favorite blog posts, Carolyn. Practical and fun and pretty all at the same time. And you didn’t use color. This must have been difficult for you.
what a great idea. Love it.
Awesome Blackboard & video Carolyn. I love that it is really small, but has 4 times that amount of writing room (4 sides). I also love the negative stencilling. I can see me doodling in the small spaces with a chalk pencil. Thanks for the inspiration. Theresa x
Such awesome projects you all out did yourselves on these ones, thanks for the giveaway and the great ideas! if I had the room I would do a chalkboard similar to this but larger for our kitchen š
Awesome video and project! What a cool idea. Mini blackboard! Whoda thunk it? YOUda thunk it!!!!
Such a cute idea! Love the white stencil. Love hearing you on video!
Carolyn,
You’re great with color AND black and white!!
I need to make one of these for my desk at work! š
