My friend Nicole got me these fabulous chalkboard stick on panels for my birthday. I knew I wanted to use them in our pantry but needed to clean out the pantry first. Two months later I finally got my act together, yikes. But I did it and finally crafted the chalkboard panels into a functional and helpful kitchen project!

I wasn’t able to stick the panel directly on our pantry door because it’s vented so I thought I’d adhere it to some cardboard first. John’s swiss army knife helped me make short work of slicing up the cardboard.

My two panels and their cardboard backing:

I peeled the back off, smoothed the panel over the cardboard, and trimmed the edges.

I added a magnet clip to the top to stick it to the vented metal door of our pantry.

Finished product!

On to the cabinet!

I used the second panel I made in our canned/dry food cabinet. It was similarly cluttered in there but I cleaned out everything that had expired and reorganized everything.

Before and after (doesn’t look too different but trust me, it is:

Panel taped to the inside of the cabinet (in case I ever want to move it):

Much better, cheap, and totally practical!
