Kitchen Chalkboard
A chalkboard with a natural rope hanger is a stylish way to keep reminders for yourself, or to leave notes for the rest of the family. It's also great fun for the children - you should have enough paint left to make another for the playroom. Making your own chalkboard is easier than you might think - Chalkboard Paint is simple to apply, and has a perfectly smooth, matt, non-reflective finish.
Print this idea"Several thin coats of Chalkboard Paint will give you a smoother, more attractive finish than one thick one."

Measure the wall area you want to cover in the kitchen, and ask your DIY store to cut a piece of three quarter inch thick MDF to size. Sand the edges smooth.
Drill two holes, slightly larger than the width of your rope, in the top corners of the board.
Apply a single coat of Super Black Primer, followed by several thin coats of Chalkboard Paint until you have total coverage.
When the paint is dry, thread your rope through the holes, forming a loop at the back. Tie in large knots at the front to secure.
Note: Always follow usage instructions on the reverse of Plasti-kote spray paint cans.
