Homemade Chalkboard

I like easy, and boy was this easy.  Even for a craft challenged person like me.

The chalkboards are quite popular right now and I have been wanting to do one.

So on the weekend I went to Michaels and found the chalkboard paint.

And it was only $1.69 oh yeah. Then I needed a brush $1.29.

Then I figured I would need chalk of course. $2.29.

Then I went to the Dollarama and got a canvas $1.00.

That's it, so you do two coats, one vertical, wait an hour.

Next one horizontal.  I waited another hour to be completely dry.

Then they say rub chalk over it to condition, and you are ready to go.

Now, next time I will get a bigger canvas, or a picture frame, or a window.

You can tell I have got the chalkboard fever!

 

My almost finished product.  I also decided to paint around the outside.

I didn't pick it up or anything, just took the brush and went around the outside.

 

 



The conditioning part.

 

 

I am so happy to have this for whatever reason!

 

 

My little easter egg tree (about 4 1/2 dozen) eggs on it.

Compared to my moms with well over 200!

And my chalkboard :) It's first official duty.
