Our friends have opened a new craft shop in Edinburgh called Thread & Heather and I offered to help out by making some signs for the shop. Katie had this awesome idea for a sign for their opening times so I crafted it up.

Instructions

  1. Small 108944 2f2015 05 18 145600 img 6996

    Start with an old frame.

  2. Small 108944 2f2015 05 18 145604 img 6997

    Remove the backing from the frame.

  3. Small 108944 2f2015 05 18 145621 img 6998

    Paint with chalkboard paint using a paintbrush and then smooth out with a foam brush. I gave this one two coats.

  4. Small 108944 2f2015 05 18 145650 img 7045

    Leave to dry and then pop back in the frame.

    Spell out the days of the week using scrabble tiles and keyboard keys. We needed to Dremel off the back off the keyboard keys to get them smooth.

  6. Small 108944 2f2015 05 18 145752 img 7048

    Glue each of the tiles down when you're happy with their positions.

  7. Small 108944 2f2015 05 18 145819 img 7047

    Write on your times with a chalk pen.

    You're all done but you can easily change the times whenever you need.
