Chalkboard Frame Teacher's Gift by Tessa Wise

Aren't you loving the chalkboard craze?  It's Tessa Wise joining you today with another chalkboard gift idea!  I created this one for my oldest daughter's teacher.

I bought the frame at the store.  It was pretty on it's own but so much more fun to personalize!  I cut a piece of black polka-dot paper to 8x10 and put it inside the frame.  

The new Bistro Chalk Markers are perfect for writing on glass.  They don't smudge easily and wipe right off when you're ready.  I drew a little welcome sign on it but I think it would be cute with spelling words, a countdown to a special day, or test reminders, too!  

 I added a few details to the frame to make it a little more fun.  A couple of chipboard stickers from Simple Stories were the perfect embellishment to the corners.  I wrapped the top with Cantaloupe Baker's Twine and tied it in a bow at the corner as well.

At the bottom, I added this definition sticker from the Say It With Stickers Mini Sheet: Fourth Grade Sticker Sheet.  It was the perfect last touch!

Mrs. Trachsel has been such a great teacher this year!  My daughter can't wait to give it to her on Teacher Appreciation Day.  I'm going to wrap it up with a set of the fine tipped Bistro Chalk Markers too!  I hope she likes it!

Thanks for joining me!
