Cheree here!Â
This was the very first Cricut project I had EVER done and I just love the way that it turned out! This Farmhouse Cricut Chalkboard is one of the easiest Cricut projects you'll ever do.

It's a good idea to start with beginner projects (and less than 30 minutes) as you're getting started. This is a fun project that won't take a lot of time and is DARLING once it's finished! I found the SVG file in Cricut Access.
Supplies needed:Â
- Cricut Machine – we used the Cricut Explore Air 2
- Vinyl, any color
- Chalkboard
- Chalk paint (if needed)
- Wooden Beads
- Jute Twine
- Ribbon (varying widths)
How to make Farmhouse Signs with Cricut Machines:
This Farmhouse Cricut Chalkboard came together SO easy. Months ago I purchased this little round chalkboard on clearance at Michael's. So, it's been just waiting to get repurposed into a darling piece of DIY wooden farmhouse sign decor.
If you need to paint the edges of your chalkboard, feel free to!  The mint green color wasn't the look I was after so I put on about 3 coats of my favorite white Waverly chalk paint. I then I added just the smallest amount of the Waverly antique wax on top, rubbing off as I went so it didn't get too dark.
The svg file design I chose just needed 1 color of vinyl so I chose white so it would look like it was written in chalk and have more of a farmhouse decor feel.
Cut out the design on the Cricut machine:
I followed the instructions that were given through Cricut Access once I had picked the design.
- Cut vinyl to about a 6″x6″ square
- Place on grip mat
- Run through the Cricut machine following the directions given
- Weed off the vinyl pieces not needed using the weeding tool
- Apply transfer tape
- Adhere to chalkboard wood sign using the scraper tool
Then I rubbed a piece of chalk all over the design to give this DIY project an authentic chalkboard look and then added a garland.
How to make a Farmhouse Wood Bead Garland:
To take it a step further with the whole Farmhouse vibe I made a little hanger using some jute twine and 1″ wood balls. I just eye-balled it and hot glued that to the back. We have a full tutorial on an easy DIY Wood Bead Garland if you'd like a step by step guide 🙂
It was really cute like that but I thought wouldn't it just be darling with the addition of a bow. So I made the old faithful Re-Fabbed bow with some ribbon I already had on hand and it was just the perfect finishing touch for this Cricut project.
Now I just need to find a home for this cutie!
