On my favorite website www.brownpaper--packages.com, she made a tutorial on how to make a picture frame into a chalkboard. You can use any size frame for whatever you need it for. I couldn't resist any longer so as soon as I was settled in my house, I got straight to work. I painted and sanded the frame to give it the "rustic" look and glued magnets on the back to mount on the fridge. I used my Cricut Expressions machine {my pride and joy} for my lettering. I write what we'll have for dinner and the ingredients needed so I can inventory what I have and don't have-makes it easier to know what I need to get. My advice to you would be to let the chalkboard paint dry on the glass in a box or something contained to prevent lint from sticking to the surface. I found the chalk and eraser magnet caddy at Walmart for around $3.
{Note: That night was "clean out the fridge night" for dinner-I'm really not that lazy.}
