It is no small secret that I love chalkboard signs. I love how versatile and customizable they are to the changing seasons. Holiday Season is no exception. Here are this years chalkboard updates! Complete with a bonus video documenting the process. Check it out!
If you feel as though this is a little outside of your comfort zone, here is an easier option. Honestly, you only need to write one word.
After you write on your chalkboard, you can use this trick to take your sign to the next level.
Using spray snow, and a stencil! You can find spray snow at most stores that sell holiday decor. I picked some spray snow up for $1.50. I also found this stencil in the same section for only $1.00.
I just placed the stencil on the chalkboard, and then dusted the stencil with spray snow, which created a snowflake.
I repeated this process several times, until I had filled a majority of the empty space! Ta-da!
The last chalkboard sign I needed to update for the season was a large one in our kitchen. I had seen a Pottery Barn sign I loved and used it as my point of inspiration. If you feel a little overwhelmed at the idea of free handing, you are in luck! The Yellow Bliss Road created a free printable! You can see it here.
I have a whole lot more Holiday updates coming up soon, so stay tuned!

Hello Corey
I just found your website and I’m with Zuzana… wish I had found it earlier. You are amazing! and such an inspiration. I have always been one of those people who hate to see stuff thrown out… somebody can use it, right? Needless to say, I have an attic full of furniture just waiting to be fixed up and passed on. But your creative flair is what I lack, so you are bookmarked my dear 😀 I will be checking in daily for more inspiration. Oh, just one question… are you using chalk on the boards or some sort of liquid paint? Thank you for sharing. — Annie
ps… what does “sbd” mean (referring to Zuzana’s comment)?
Haha, don’t you think for one moment that I don’t have an entire garage FULL of potential projects. haha Sometimes it is trial and error, and sometimes I get lucky! Thanks for reading.
… I am not entirely sure what sbd stands for either? 🙂
