How to Make a DIY Color Block Cutting Board
Hi everyone! It’s Angela from Number Fifty-Three and I have such an easy and inexpensive project to share with you all this month.Lately, I have been craving natural wood accents more and more. I love the rustic and casual vibe it can give to a space, especially when it is paired with a small touch of paint.
This DIY color block cutting board that I recently created has that simple elegance that I love and was so quick to make.
Here is the supply list to create you color-blocked cutting board
a food-safe pine round board or cutting board, painters tape, craft stick (to make sure that the tape is firmly in place), non-toxic paint, food-safe sealer, paint brushes, clean rag, butcher block oil, scissors, leather lace (from the craft store), drill and drill bit, measuring tape and marker.
Start out by taping off a portion of the board to paint. Use a craft stick to make sure the tape is on securely to prevent leaks and to get a very sharp paint line.
Paint with you chosen paint color and let dry. (It is always a good idea to remove the tape before the paint has totally dried.) Next, carefully apply a coat of food safe sealer to the painted portion of the board and let dry.
Simply apply the butcher block oil with a clean rag to the rest of the board following the directions on the bottle. (I had to use a few coats.). Make sure to keep any of the food away from the painted area when using.
Lastly, I measured a center point and placed a small mark to determine where I wanted to drill my hole. When choosing a drill bit make sure to pick one large enough to allow the leather lace to fit through easily. Once the hole is made thread through a length of the leather lace and tie.
I have been loving this both to serve snacks on and to display on our dining room wall!
Thank you all so, so much for checking out my project this month, a DIY color block cutting board. I welcome you all to stop by Number Fifty-Three and say hello!

Angela,
Very hip, like an art object hanging on the wall! Great photography. I wish I had a bowl of those raspberries and blackberries right now!

Thanks you for such a nice comment, Ginene! Believe me…those berries did not last long in our house! 😉

I have used those cute circles of pine before – they are nice and thick. The paint accent is super cute along with the tassel to hang it up.
Thanks, Holly! I am thinking about what else I can do with those pine circles now! I love how thick they are, too. And they are priced so low they definitely make projects manageable.

Very cute Angela – love the fresh modern look of your cutting board!
Thanks, Sharon!

I love this idea because it looks pretty on the wall too.
Thank, Julia! At first I was hesitant to hang it up, but I actually really love it and it plays well with the mirror gallery wall (which is right next to it).
