This past weekend I finally found my mantel mojo.
I knew I wanted to do something with my Chalkboard printables, but I was torn on what to do. You know, sometimes with pinterest & all the other fabulous blogs, I become maxed out on sensory overload. Does anyone else share the same problem? I tend to do better when I step away for a bit & come back with a wild plan!
Well, here’s hoping you aren’t sick of seeing these graphics again…
You can find my post with the printables or downloads for these chalkboard graphics right here.
I had heard awhile back that anyone can take an image to Staples & have it blown up into a poster size for very little money. Well….I’m here to tell you, it is TRUE! Below is a screen shot of me doing just that! I loaded my Chalkboard printable (in the same size that is in my post of the chalkboard printables!) and had Staples use their BLUEPRINT paper & it was only $3.59!!! Basically, I did everything online & I just picked it up in store when it was ready! So easy.
Now, I do believe you can only use it for black & white photos, images or printables, but for $3.59 – I’m here to say that’s a HUGE bargain! Pictured below is the beginning stages of my Christmas mantel. See the poster size Chalkboard printable? I just taped it to the wall, dear friends! Yes, that simple. If it was an image or a photo of the kids, I would have taken the time to mount it to foam core or something. But since this is seasonal, I thought why not just tape it to the wall & put an empty frame over it?
(please excuse my real life dusty mantel, sheesh I should have paid closer attention.)
Anyways, moving on to the decor…
I’m thrilled with how everything turned out! I am loving the Chalkboard printable above the mantel! I can officially say, my Mantel MoJo has returned – {finally!!!!!!}
