Chalkboard Worries

I wanted to share my trials and triumps of my chalkboard project. Several months ago I found a piece of glass for $2 at the trift store. I had NO idea what to do with it so it was shoved under my bed for weeks. Then I decided CHALKBOARD PAINT! Love it!

Then I decided it needed a frame. NOT loving it!

This is where my trials began. First I bought a piece of wall molding and had a friend cut it for me. We nailed and glued the edges and this is where I say: DO NOT use molding to make a frame unless it's real wood. The pressed wood splintered and we had to glue it and oh what a MESS.

But I preservered.

I wood glued pieces of wood to the back of the frame and tapped in nails to support the glass. (Still hoping this doesn't fall apart!)

Then I painted the frame a dark brown. UGLY!! So I bought CRACKLE PAINT! This stuff is amazing. I got it on ebay for 10 dollars and you paint it on over a base color then 2 hours later I painted on my top color. It crackled right up and now my frame looks antique. But I DO NOT like the green color. What do you all think? Should I sand it off and repaint a different color?
