Menu Board

A long time ago, I saw a great idea to turn an old picture frame into a menu board.  (Wish I knew where I originally found it to give credit)  I LOVED it and set out to make one.  Well, turns out my friends and family loved the idea too.  Once they saw it in my kitchen, they just had to have one. 

There are several things I like about this menu board:
1.  It does not use chalk (just not a fan - too many years of being covered in it from teaching - before whiteboards)
2.  It is soooooo easy to customize.
3.  It is cheap.
4.  We actually USE it!

I made this one for our kitchen -

This one was a gift for my sister's birthday.

And I made this one for a friend for her birthday.

Supplies -

1 11 x 13 hanging wall frame

burlap

stickers, Cricut or Silhouette for letters

3 or 4 coordinating fabric (scraps are great)

3 brads

1.  Spray glue on the picture frame backing.  Adhere piece of burlap,  cut to fit.

2.  Cut 9 - 12 circles in various sizes in 3 - 4 different fabrics.
