I love IKEA products and I am always looking for ways to upgrade them and make them better. SNUDDA is pretty in its simplicity, but I just felt it needed something more and a cheese board, especially a chalkboard one, is so useful.
Whenever we have people over and when we’re entertaining, we always put out a cheese board. Everyone loves cheese, and you can get so creative with all the different cheeses available.
So creating a cheese board from the SNUDDA was an immediate idea that I had.
IKEA item used:
Other materials:
- Chalkboard spray paint
- Painter’s tape or any kind of tape
- Some newspaper
- White erasable chalkboard pen
Chalkboard cheese board instructions
Briefly, what I did was:
- Sand the SNUDDA so it’s easier for the paint to adhere.
- Tape up the parts I want to remain unpainted.
- Spray paint the exposed areas with chalkboard paint. You may need a few coats.
- Let paint dry thoroughly.
- Write the names of the cheese and serve!

How much did it cost and how long did it cost?
This hack only took a couple of hours. It cost the price of SNUDDA and chalkboard spray paint – which was about $7 – that’s it.
What’s the hardest part of this hack?
The hardest part of this hack is waiting for the paint to dry!!
I love how useful this hack is! Now when I entertain I have a great cheeseboard.
