Easy Chalkboard

Hello all!
It's been a few months - my apologies, but I'm a new mommy and it's been exhausting! Everyone is healthy and happy though so I wanted to do a quick post while I had a minute.
So this is one of the cheapest, most simplistic things I've ever made and iI love using it. I originally made it for our wedding a just a little maintenance keeps it looking brand new.
Supplies:
- cheap picture with glass and a frame you like (got mine on clearance $15 at Garden Ridge)
- chalkboard paint - not spray - $8 at Sherwin Williams
- paint brush
- Crayola chalk

Directions:
- remove picture and glass
- paint the glass - 2 coats according to the directions
- secure back into the frame

I have mine hanging in the kitchen and put quotes on it. Every now and then put a fresh coat of paint to keep it like new.
