DIY Menu board - So cute! :)

I saw a similar menu board somewhere on-line (sorry, I can't remember where) a while ago and have been meaning to make one for my kitchen. Well, I finally got around to it - LOL. :)




I got the square plate and the black wooden stand at Walmart. I used my MTC and a two true-type fonts ("Japan" and "Halohandletter") to cut out my words in vinyl. Joanns sells vinyl and you can use a coupon - I got black and white when they had a 50% off coupon. I will definitely get more with the next big coupon - it was a blast!

I didn't buy any transfer tape since I had read that you can use blue painter's tape for smaller cuts. I have a ton of it so I wanted to give it a try before buying the transfer tape. It worked like a charm, but the days of the week weren't as easy to lay down since they are so thin. They really wanted to stay on the tape, it took a really good bone folder and lots of elbow grease. LOL

Since the plate is ceramic I just use a dry erase marker to write in the dinner selections and it wipes right off!

I hope you enjoyed my little "non-paper crafting" project! Be sure to come back and join me on Thursday when I will be hopping with Laura from Makin' Pretty Things for a Butterflies and Blogs Hop to commemorate her blogiversary! :)
