Our Blessings Board Gets an Update!

One of the most popular projects I’ve done on this blog was my Blessings Board that I did waaaay back when. A few of you might remember this!

Every year since then, it’s been a tradition for us. I put up our board in the fall, all of us write our favorite blessings on it, and then we erase them and write new ones each week. We used that originalboard for 5 years, and this year, I decided to give it a little update…

Instead of using a glass surface like before, I wanted a type of chalkboard, since that fits right in in this house! So, I headed to Hobby Lobby and found everything I needed. I started with this painted burlap canvas, which is available in several different sizes for a great price with your 40% off coupon. This large one ended up being $9!

I also chose these great gold metallic number stickers…

And then there’s this great product that I’ve used for other projects! These are chalkboard placemats, but I’ve found that they’re great for all kinds of chalkboard ideas.

I also used some metallic striped paper and stickers that I already had to make the little banner…

I used a little hot glue on the back of the canvas to hold a piece of twine in place, then clipped on the pennants with some mini clothespins!
