This Chalk Board Kitchen table is perfect for furnishing your home kitchen.

You and the kids can make it for your own home over the weekend. Working with Chalk Board paint can sound a little intimidating, but you will be pleasantly surprised how easy it really is!

To make this Chalk Board Kitchen table you will need to spread it out over a couple days, so working over the weekend will probably work best. While you won't be working on the Chalk Board craft project all day long, you do need to allow for time for materials to dry.

To Make a Chalk Board Kitchen Table You Will Need:

4 sheets of plywood or MDF cut to the same size

8 L brackets

1 Sheet of plywood or MDF for the top

Chalk Board paint

Chalk

Now, on to building the Chalk Board Kitchen table. Most kitchen tables are about 30 to 32 inches tall. Be sure to measure an existing kitchen table so it will work with your chairs.

The measure your piece of tabletop. This will be the larger piece of MDF you had cut. Everyone will have a different size, so I can only give you tips on how to know how large to make your Chalk Board Kitchen Table.

Make it slightly smaller than the tabletop. Now, measure how wide the tabletop is. If you had a circle tabletop cut, then mark out a square on it with painter's tape. Measure this to get the dimensions for your Kitchen table base.

Have your 4 pieces of MDF cut to size.

Now, the first step is to paint the front and back of your sheets of MDF or plywood with the Chalk Board paint. Let this dry, and then paint on another coat of Chalk Board paint. Each chalkboard paint will be different, so be sure to read your product's directions.

Let all of the paint dry.

Install L brackets to hold the four pieces together in a square. Install an L bracket at the top and bottom of each corner. .

You can attach the top of the Kitchen table with L brackets on the inside as well.
