Slaw Cutter Chalkboard

I hope you all had a good Wednesday.

After enjoying a 70 degree day on Monday, we experienced a dramatic temperature drop today with snow!  Crazy weather!!

I shopped a couple of thrift stores on my lunch hour today and the only thing I purchased was this small wood slaw cutter.  It's hard to tell from the picture but it only measures 12" from top to bottom.

I thought this would make a cute little chalkboard for my kitchen.  

This was an easy project that had few steps and took me less than 30 minutes to complete.

I first cut a thin piece of scrap wood to fit in the recessed area of the slaw cutter.

 I painted the scrap wood with chalkboard paint and used wood glue to secure it to the slaw cutter.  I thought the piece looked a little flat so I added a finishing nail to each corner.

 Finished project!

I also added magnets to the back of the cutter so I could hang this on my refrigerator.

I used four magnets to hold the weight of the cutter.

I've posted a couple of other projects in the past using larger slaw cutters.

You can find those projects here and here.

Thanks for stopping by!
