About Project
Make a chalkboard shelf with hooks perfect for grocery lists and keys and reuseable shopping bags, or as a stocking holder and wish list! This simple plan requires just a couple of screws and you can make it from scraps in just minutes!
While we wait for the heat wave to show up in Interior Alaska so we can get back to Momplexing it, we have been keeping busy with some garage cleaning. The plan is to create a dedicated space for me to work on my projects, and maybe even produce video project plans.
Anyway, as we've been garage cleaning, I've had a hard time parting with even the smallest of scrap boards. Every board that can still be cut can still be made into something, and scraps are just little projects waiting to be built.
Dimensions
Materials and Tools
1 - 1x12 @ 8 feet long
1 - 1x4 @ 12" long
1 - D Ring, Hook or other picture hanging kit
2 - hooks or pegs or knobs for hanging
Chalkboard Spray Paint
Pocket hole screws OR regular screws
Cut List
1 - 1x12 @ 24"
1 - 1x4 cut to width of 1x12
General Instructions
Please read through the entire plan and all comments before beginning this project. It is also advisable to review the Getting Started Section. Take all necessary precautions to build safely and smartly. Work on a clean level surface, free of imperfections or debris. Always use straight boards. Check for square after each step. Always predrill holes before attaching with screws. Use glue with finish nails for a stronger hold. Wipe excess glue off bare wood for stained projects, as dried glue will not take stain. Be safe, have fun, and ask for help if you need it. Good luck!
Step 1
Attach 1x4 to 1x12 to create shelf. Use either the pocket holes or predrilled holes from back.
Step 2
Attach hooks to area below shelf, centering and using 3/4" screws. You could also use pegs inserted into drilled holes with glue.
Step 3
There are many ways to hang, the easiest is to use a store bought hanging kit for pictures frames, either D rings or cleats.

Fabulous!
I love it. This would be a great score keeping board in a game room. The hooks could hold ping pong paddles or even a small towel to use as an eraser. We have at least a full trash can of scraps saved and can't seem to part with them. This is going on my list. Do you know where those hooks came from? They are cool.
just in time for Christmas!!
How great is this?!!! Just in time for Christmas, and how quick and easy. Not to mention inexpensive. These could be dressed up with moulding or trim around the top, or fancy cute knobs. I love it best plain, with the sanded edges.
We are right in the middle of building 2 sets of play kitchens and have built and painted 4 hi-chairs and 1 crib. All for Christmas for the grandgirls. And 1 farmhouse doll bed, because my Mom requested one for her dog.
Love all you do!!!!
Thanks so Much
To do list
Hi, I can't find the button to "add to my to do list." Can someone please let me know how I can add this chalkboard to my list?
Thanks a bunch!

Add to To-Do-List
at the end of the project plan (just below the Finishing Instructions box), you should see a link to "My To-Do List". Click that link and it should be added to your list. The link is between the Finishing Instruction box and buttons for twitter, google, facebook, etc. Hope this helps!!!
Thank you!
Thank you MikeB! Can't believe I didn't figure that out...thought it would bring up my list!

I will be making one very soon!
Thanks
double it?
If you wanted 4 hooks instead of 2, would you double the size and dimensions of this project?
Of course you could. The
Of course you could. The great thing about this "plan," is that it is so simple, you can do ANYTHING you want to it. Make it longer, taller, add shelves, add anything you want. Especially if you have scraps, don't be afraid to try something new on such a small scale as this.

There are certainly quite a lot of particulars like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to carry up. I offer the thoughts above as common inspiration but clearly there are questions just like the one you convey up the place the most important factor will probably be working in sincere good faith. I don?t know if finest practices have emerged round things like that, but I'm sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Each boys and girls really feel the affect of just a second’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

LED means light emitting diode. [url=http://www.okledslights.com]LED Light GU10[/url] are a solid state device and do not require heating of a filament to create light. Rather, electricity is passed through a chemical compound that is excited and that generates light. LEDs are not bulbs or lamps in the true sense of the word and application. LEDs require a lot of work to make them ready to be used by the consumer. They need to be placed on a circuit board or other material that will allow electricity to pass through it at a specific voltage and current, and with components required to operate them at specific voltages such as 12vdc, 24vdc or 120vac. They do not come ready to plug into a 12volt or 120 volt power source. These are LEDs.
