INSIDE : Learn how to create a fun and simple DIY Chalkboard Halloween Door Decor! Don’t forgot to spruce up your Curb Appeal this fall and Autumn season.
The blogging world has been talking about fall and Halloween decor since July it seems and I am finally getting around to making and putting together my front door. Today I am sharing a super simple way to up your curb appeal during the fall and Autumn season with a fun DIY Chalkboard Halloween Door Decor.

I was making a return to Marshall’s the other day and did a quick peek through their seasonal decor section. I found this adorable black chalkboard on sale for $7.99, what a deal!

Chalk
I liked that my metal frame had a few chips and dings on it. It gave it more character especially for the fall time. The first thing I did was to “season” the chalkboard. I didn’t want the crisp clean black look.
Seasoning a chalkboard simply means writing all over the chalkboard to give the actual board a more chalky and used look. Once you have written across the entire thing, you can use a paper towel or a chalkboard eraser to clean it up. Don’t use water or you will need to season your chalkboard all over again.
Last year I had bought this adorable fabric cake bunting and have since used it on numerous items as the perfect colorful touch. It came in handy on this project, too!
I played around with different fancy chalk type prints, but in the end settled on a very simple uppercase with BOO being a little more special with the O’s as pumpkins.
I love the black chalkboard against my green door. So fall and colorful and cozy.
I also added a few small additional items to the front entry.
BOO day!
And adding a few mums was the final touch!
What are you doing to your entry to celebrate BOO day this year?

I still think this is super cute! Thanks again for sharing it. Tonight’s Get Your DIY on party theme is pumpkins! I hope you can join us again! XO
This makes me wish we had a front door that people saw! We live in the country and it kind of makes me sad that no one ever sees the decorating. But at least I enjoy it!
This is really cute. I have a similar tray but hadn’t considered using chalk on it. Why not? I adore the bunting! Super cute and clever.
This looks so cute! Great job. I’m hosting a fall wreath giveaway that you should enter! http://homecomingmn.blogspot.com/2013/10/a-fall-wreath-giveaway.html

That is a very cute {and clever} door decoration. And I love your green door.
Thanks, Lori! I’ve had the door that green color for about six years… thinking about a change, but I love it so much it’s hard to pick a new color.
What a sweet and simple project! I love seeing all of the creative things people come up with to hang on their doors. This is great because you could easily change it out for each season! I popped over from Domestic Superhero– thanks for sharing!
