Wood Slice Chalkboard Banner

When a large branch fell from a neighborhood tree I knew I wanted to use it to create a wood slice craft.
So I ran it under the miter saw and cut it into rounds. Then I decided I would create a garland out of the slices.
In order to make them re-usable I painted them with chalkboard paint which will allow me to change what is written on them. I love how they look, when hung on the mantel and I can't wait to use them for many seasons to come!
For additional photos and ideas for the banner, visit the link at the bottom of this post.

I used a drill to put holes in each one for hangin
