Ever since I saw this post over at Under The Table and Dreaming by the talented Stephanie Lynn, I knew I wanted to do my own version of it. (Not the only time that has happened--Stephanie Lynn's blog is SO inspiring!)
Stephanie Lynn's amazing Menu Board
I finally gathered my supplies and put it together this week! And I LOVE it!!!
A picture frame with glass
A grain sack found in the barn!
(Curious? Read more about our cool old barn!)
I cut the grain sack around the piece of cardboard from my frame.
Then I put stickers (from Michael's) onto tags (from Walmart).
Next I put everything together.
I actually taped the sack material to the back of the cardboard with packaging tape! It was too thick to use the nice back of the picture frame, but the burlap keeps things nice and tight! I didn't tape or glue the tags and circles down at all--they're stuck in place just by the pressure.
Then I filled in my menu!
Hint: Don't have a dry-erase marker? Just use a sharpie! It wipes right off with window cleaner.
I hung my menu board on the wall behind my stove.
Finally, I stood back and enjoyed!
Thanks again, Stephanie Lynn, for the inspiration!
