How to make farmhouse cutting board décor

Materials you need

• Mini Wooden Cutting Board – A mini wooden cutting board forms the base of this project. Its natural wood grain and sturdy construction make it the ideal canvas for your farmhouse décor piece.
• Waverly White Chalk Paint (or whatever white paint you have) – White chalk paint provides a perfect matte finish, enhancing the rustic look. Waverly White Chalk Paint is easy to apply and gives excellent coverage.
• Twine (or whatever jute cord you have on hand) – Twine adds a touch of rustic elegance and texture. Wrapping it around the cutting board enhances the farmhouse aesthetic.
• Farmhouse Rub-on Designs – These designs effortlessly transfer rustic motifs onto the cutting board. They come in various patterns and phrases, adding personalized charm and character.

Substitutes

If you don’t have the exact materials listed, consider these alternatives:

• Instead of a mini wooden cutting board, use any small wooden board or plaque.
• For paint, any white acrylic paint can substitute if you don’t have chalk paint.
• Instead of twine, try using thin rope or even thick yarn.
• Custom printed decals can be used in place of rub-on designs.

Equipment

• Scissors – essential for cutting the twine and trimming the rub-on designs precisely.
• Paint Brush – A quality paint brush ensures smooth and even application of your paint, making the project look professional.

Step by step instructions

1. Start by painting the mini wooden cutting board with the white chalk paint. Apply a few coats to ensure complete coverage.
2. Add a dab of hot glue to the top portion of the cutting board, and wrap the jute twine around the top until your desired look is achieved. Wrap it quite a bit for a fuller look. Trim the end and secure with another dab of glue.
3. Cut out the “simply blessed” and green floral piece from the farmhouse rub-on designs. Be careful not to set them down until you’re ready to apply them.
4. Place the design on the cutting board, and use your finger, credit card, or the edge of scissors to rub it onto the cutting board. Ensure it is firmly adhered.

Tips

1. Multiple light coats of paint usually give a smoother finish than one heavy coat.
2. Use a hairdryer between layers of paint to speed up the drying process.
3. Apply a sealer post-crafting to protect your design and ensure longevity.

Craft Variations

1. Use different colors of paint to match your kitchen décor.
2. Experiment with different rub-on designs or customize your own.
3. Add small hooks to the bottom for a functional and decorative key holder.
4. Incorporate small faux flowers or greenery for additional texture.

How to display

You can use this décor piece in multiple ways, such as:

• Hang it on a wall using a small nail or hook.
• Prop it up on your kitchen counter against the backsplash.
• Place it on a shelf with other farmhouse décor items.
