Chalkboard Easel

Our local golf club needed a chalkboard easel to place on the driving range to announce upcoming event and tournaments.

So I made them one!

It’s pretty basic when you break it down. Simply make two frames to insert plywood boards that’s painted with chalkboard paint. Add a couple of hinges on top. And you have an easel. You just need basic woodworking skills. I added a handle on top to make it easier to bring inside…

Okay, really I added it because I though it looked cute!

I also added a piece of chain along the bottom with an eye hook and cup hook to hold the legs…

Okay, really I added it because I though it looked cute!

Because I knew it would be sitting in wet grass, I dipped each of the legs in plastic dip. You know the stuff you dip tool handles in??

The easel completed. That’s my little workshop helper on the right! Bella’s great at using the drill, but lousy at holding the nails! 😀

The chalkboard easel in place at the driving range!

You notice I didn’t give a tutorial or put up pictures. I will. But at the time I was making it I really didn’t think I would be doing a post about the project!!!

Goofy, I know.

I have a feeling I’ll be making another one soon.

Did you know Easter will also finally be here soon too?

So a fun group of DIY bloggers are having an Easter Crafts and Decor Showcase this week. I was lucky enough to be asked to join! Woot, woot!

Please check the schedule below and get inspired. Let me know what you make from the showcase.
