Whiskey Barrel Chalkboard Oh My!

Hey there everyone, it's Pink today and check out this cool Whiskey Barrel DIY Pallet Shape I turned into a chalkboard for CHA this year!

I had so much fun experimenting on these Pallet Shapes, brand new from Clear Scraps, they are easy to assemble and yes, REAL wood!

For this whiskey barrel I took some acrylic paint mixed with water to "Stain" the wood and bring out the woodgrain. It worked really well. Now for the chalkboard area, I used Chalk Paint but i highly recommend you paint 3/4 coats because wood is porous naturally and it will absorb a bit. But once you get it painted, you are good to go! Also did you notice the Chipboard Heart Shape? That is the Flourish Heart Chipboard Embellishments, love those embellishments for many many projects!

 

Happy Monday friends!
