The Farmhouse Christmas theme incorporates elements of both the old and new, traditional and yet its right on trend. We like to think of this style as one big warm welcome where you can just hear the laughter and family chatter at Christmas gatherings.
Create these Holiday Chalkboard Placemats for a fun, interactive and exciting experience for everyone at your Christmas dinner.
What you’ll Need:
- Cork placemats or Plywood (depending on what you have at home)
- Blackboard paint
- White marker
- Chalk
- String
- Accessories for decorating
Method:
- Repurpose old cork placemats, or get some plywood cut at your local hardware store to make a set of fun blackboard placemats for your Farmhouse Christmas table.
- Just apply two coats of blackboard paint, which can be purchased at any hardware store.
- You can either use a white marker to draw a simple design such as a vine or scroll, OR
- Buy small brown envelopes to create chalk pockets to place chalk inside for each guest to decorate their own placemat. Embellish your pockets by tying string around the pocket; add some red berries and a personalised tag to finalise.
