DIY vinyl chalkboard framed sign

DIY· Home Decor· Teacher Appreciation· Wood Craft

4 May

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!
