It’s Teacher Appreciation week here in Arizona! We adore our kid’s teachers because they put in so.much.time with our kiddos! We understand that they’re underpaid and put up with a lot so spoiling them with hearty gifts is a must for us. We got to play with Expression Vinyl’s chalkboard vinyl and tried to think of a new way to use it. We love chalk boards and have used spray, paint and clear coating, lots of options. This DIY vinyl chalkboard framed sign is perfect for a no-mess project!
