It's time for another chalkboard. I made this one to help ring in the New Year. I found a graphic on Pinterest and went with it. I also made these hanging lanterns since I wanted to incorporate Chinese New Year into my board. I'll keep this up through Chinese New Year, and then I'll probably make a Valentine's related board.
The lantern was one of my first ever silhouette projects (did I mention that I got one for Christmas!). Not too bad. Although, I noticed that I took a close up picture of the lantern that had a tear in it!
My original plan was to make a new chalkboard each month, but that proved to be too much work! So. I just made them when inspiration struck, and when I had time. I went looking through my chalkboards of the last year, and it was kind of fun to look back at them.
Here they are just for fun. They are linked with their original blog post just in case you want to read more about them.

| I really wish I would have taken an "after" picture. We added rivers, cities, pictures, facts, etc.... |

| One of my most favorite boards! Definitely doing this next summer...or maybe I'll do it in the fall for a Fall Bucket List. |

| I really liked this one too. Might do this one again next year. |

They are so great! I am thinking I have to do this when we get into our own house! I can't wait to see all the designs this year! Thanks for sharing!
Love your chalkboards! You may have said it somewhere, but I didn't see... Do you just use regular chalk, or chalk markers, or something else? Your lettering looks so solid and crisp -- I have a hard time achieving that with chalk! :)
I use regular chalk. I'll get my chalkboard wet and then dip my chalk in water as I'm writing. When it dries it will be super, bright whit and almost look like paint.
Glad you like my chalkboards!
