Easter Chalkboard Art Ideas

I told you back around Valentine’s Day, when I designed the Valentine’s Day art on my chalkboard, that I’m such a fan of changing the theme every season. Well it wasn’t two days after Valentine’s Day, and I was putting up my Easter Chalkboard Art.

     ~Before I purchased the chalkboard from restoration hardware, I thought long and hard over whether or not to put up something permanent, such as a piece of art, a mirror, making a chalkboard, or a collage of photo frames. But the more I thought about it, the more I wanted a chalkboard in our entry, so I could change it with the seasons.~

There’s just something about decorating a small space of my home for every season/holiday. It makes me feel like I’m actually on top of things for once. {Which is far from the truth, because I NEVER am.}

No… I’m not even close to being an artist. My 3 year old even laughs when he asks me to draw an animal for him on the placemat coloring sheet at the restaurant.

So how did I do this Easter Chalkboard art, if I’m not an artist?

  —> I would laugh if I even tried to tell you that I drew the rabbits on this chalkboard “freehand,” style. So how did I do it?

Oh with my favorite new crafting tool of course… the Silhouette Cameo. I just saved a “bunny,” image from the Sihouette store, cut the shape with my silhouette with cardstock, to use as a stencil, and traced it on to my chalkboard.

Guys, I’m learning that the Silhouette Cameo is crazy cool, and I have a MAD crush on this thing. Did you see the shirt I made for myself the other day? I totally made it in like 30 minutes. Dead serious. You didn’t see it? Oh man.. follow me on my Facebook Page, so you’ll see the goodies that I share on there!

 

I did free hand the words and little flowers by the rabbit feet, but don’t get me wrong… I erased, and erased, and erased, until I got it the way I had it pictured in my head. 🙂

If you’re looking to decorate a chalkboard for Easter, I hope this gave you some inspiration and some ideas! Or heck.. just copy the way I did mine! 🙂
