Upcycling a Mirror to a Chalkboard!

 

Jodi and the girls up-cycled an old mirror into a fun new chalkboard! Check out the behind the scenes of how they did it.

Up-cycling is a great way to get use out of old things that aren’t being used as much anymore, and also a great way to save money. Instead of going out and buying a new chalkboard they were able to inexpensively convert the mirror to something more useful and fun!
