DIY Fall Chalkboard Plaque


I can't believe it's already September. We've had some cooler nights here in Hotlanta, and I even saw some red tipped trees!! Although I have yet to have some PSL, I'm in the mood to start decorating for fall. This year I decided to add a piece that I can change to fit my mood. This fall chalkboard plaque perfectly brings the outdoors inside and allows me to change it all season long!!


  • Wood round
  • Chalkboard paint
  • Paint brush
  • Chalk
  • Picture stand




Following the paint instructions (some paints may need primer, or mixing. Rust-oleum did not), paint the wood. I painted right up to the edge of the dark circle on the wood to give the plaque a nice boarder. Allow the paint to dry. My plaque was dry within one hour, probably less, but I was extra cautious.

Decorate as you please! The possibility are endless.

Here's some ideas to help inspire you. For a crisper look you may want to try a chalk paint.






I'm not the most artistic person around (Just look at my Turkey in the second picture), but I was able to make some basic art that really personalizes my home! 



Like this idea? Pin it!!

This fall chalk board looks so amazing. You have cut this wooden plank so well. It edges makes it more attractive. The plank and writing on it is so cool.
