Thanksgiving is on its way! We all love decorating our homes and getting into the holiday spirit. DIY and crafty projects are the most fun at this time of year. There’s so many different decorations you can make with chalk markers, but themed door hanging chalk boards are one of my favorites!
The Board
There are chalkboards with holes in them that have twine already available for hanging. Alternatively, you can just make your own sign out of cardboard and cover it up with the chalkboard vinyl. Then put two holes at the top and thread some twine into it!
The Lettering
For this board I decided to write the phrase “give thanks” but sayings like “gather”, “thankful”, “happy thanksgiving”, and “Be grateful” would work as well. There are a few simple ways to letter with chalk markers and there are many ways to blend them. I’ve sketched up a few easy styles that would work great for this project. Feel free to use them as a reference and letter freehand. Otherwise, you print them and cut the letters out to use as a stencil! An easy way to transfer designs onto your board is to place the sheet of paper down on your board, so the design is facing upwards. Then take a pencil or something with a pointy tip, and trace over the design completely. When you pick it up, there will be a light pencil sketch on your board!
The Leaves
To finish off your new board, you can add some leaves or simple florals to make it even more detailed! Fall is such an amazing time for these kind of designs because there is so much beautiful foliage out there! Walk around outside and see what kind of leaves inspire you or just use some simple designs I've attached that have an autumn vibes! Feel free to use them as a reference or use the above techniques to trace them onto your board.
In the video below you can watch me make my own “Give Thanks” board. Remember to have fun with it! This is a way for you to get in the spirit and do something different! We would love to see your creations, so if you try it out tag us using the hashtag #kassamoment so we can take a look!

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

My name is Tom Peacock from USA, I want to say thank you to Dr Emu for the good thing he has done for me, Though am not sure if this is the best forum to show my joy and happiness for what he has done for me but i can’t hide my happiness and my joy so i have to share it with people, my marriage got crashed about two years ago and i tried all i could within my power but to no avail. I saw a post and testimonial about the good things Dr Emu has been doing so I decided to give it a try. though he is always a busy man but when he responded back to my email, he gave me 48 hours for my marriage to be restored really just like he said my marriage was restored since then I am happy and i am living happily i am so grateful to Dr Emu you can always email him here: {emutemple@gmail.com} or WhatsApp: {+2347012841542}

My ex-husband and I had always managed to stay friendly after our divorce in February 2017. But I always wanted to get back together with him, All it took was a visit to this spell casters website last December, because my dream was to start a new year with my husband, and live happily with him.. This spell caster requested a specific love spell for me and my husband, and I accepted it. And this powerful spell caster began to work his magic. And 48 hours after this spell caster worked for me, my husband called me back for us to be together again, and he was remorseful for all his wrong deeds. My spell is working because guess what: My “husband” is back and we are making preparations on how to go to court and withdraw our divorce papers ASAP. This is nothing short of a miracle. Thank you Dr Emu for your powerful spells. Words are not enough.
