The Menus - How To

Seeing the most recent post, "Dry Erase Menu Board", from my fabulous fellow blogger, With This Ring...., I was reminded that I have a few wedding projects that I haven't posted about yet.

This one is for my DIY menu signs that I seriously made at the last minute. I mean the Friday before the wedding, sitting on the venue floor, writing up the drink menu and the food menu...

I knew I wanted some type of menu so that guests have an idea of what to expect since the dinner was served family style but decided to forgo the paper route. So this is what I came up with...


Supplies:

• 1 Canvas (any size)
• 1 container of Chalkboard paint (any color - red was all they had)
• 1 paintbrush (I used a the sponge brushes
• 1 box of white chalk

Instructions:

1. With the paint brush and paint, paint the canvas. You will most likely need to do a few coats of paint. I believe I did 4 but be sure to read the instructions for the paint.
2. Once the paint was fully dried, I wrote out the menus using the chalk.

To display the canvas, you can hang it up, use an easel (like I did) or put it on a ledge for all to see.

So what do you think? Easy right??
