project nursery – chalkboard arrow sign

February 24, 2014 3 Comments

Don’t get excited. There is no baby in the works for this blogger. I’m knee deep in planning for my bestie’s first born. So far I’ve made a million Harry Potter onesies, have a secret Pinterest board for her shower & baby crafts, as well as a few other projects currently in the works. This chalkboard arrow sign shouldn’t even count as a project because it was so simple. I went to Michael’s last weekend for the #mpinterest party and picked up the wooden arrow with a coupon. Sadly, I was the only one who showed to the party so I just bought supplies and went home. Insert sad face – I was so jealous of everyone who had huge showings of crafters.

Honestly, this is hardly a tutorial but I thought it would be a cute addition to the baby room and a useful prop. I sanded down the sign slightly, gave it a few coats of chalkboard paint, remembered to condition with with chalk and I called it a day.

The chalkboard arrow sign also seems like it would be a cute way to take the monthly baby photos too as the little one starts growing up.

I’m trying to document on all items project nursery so even though this is simple beyond words, it is going on the blog. The soon-to-be mommy and I have been sharing all sorts of ideas back and forth as we design the perfect baby room. I can’t wait to be able to share the finished space.

Do you have any favorite crafts or Pinterest boards for nurseries or baby crafts? Send them over, please!

PS  – The blog might look a bit funky for the next few days as I try to fix the mess I made. Bad blogger.
