DIY Chalkboard Cutting Board with Magnetic Properties using Photographic Transfers
==========================================================================
In a recent tutorial published by Sascha, a creative individual who values function and style in their projects, a DIY Magnetic Chalkboard Cutting Board was introduced. This versatile craft, ideal for both personal and household use, also serves as a testament to Sascha's ongoing struggle with organisation and their efforts to streamline their life.
The project requires several materials, including a cutting board, a picture copy to print and transfer, Mod Podge Photo Transfer Medium, Mod Podge Brush or Foam Brush, Mod Podge Brayer, Mod Podge Matte, Mod Podge Clear Chalkboard Topcoat, magnets, glue for magnets, and a toner-based printer on regular paper.
To begin, the printed graphic should be placed, glue side down, onto a surface and smoothed out with a Mod Podge Brayer. After allowing it to dry for 24 hours, a thick, even coat of Mod Podge Photo Transfer Medium should be applied to the side of the paper with ink, ensuring full coverage.
Next, mist water onto the paper and gently rub it with a sponge to transfer the image onto the cutting board. Once this step is complete, apply a layer of Mod Podge Clear Chalkboard Topcoat, let it dry, and apply a second coat.
When using a photo transfer, a thin layer of the paper may be left behind and may be visible if not cut properly. To avoid this, ensure that the paper covers the surface fully. The graphic can be made to any size needed, making this project adaptable to various cutting board dimensions.
Once the transfer is complete, condition the chalkboard surface by rubbing a piece of chalk on it. Strong magnets should then be attached to the back of the chalkboard cutting board using hot glue.
This Magnetic Chalkboard Cutting Board can serve as a practical list-making tool for groceries or other items. In addition to its organisational benefits, it also makes for an attractive fall decor piece, with Sascha also discussing a 35-inch tall posable scarecrow craft as a complementary fall decor project.
Sascha's commitment to organisation is evident in their use of making lists as a method to help manage tasks. This DIY Magnetic Chalkboard Cutting Board is an excellent example of how organisation and creativity can coexist in a single, functional, and stylish project.
