Another simple quick gift!
Supplies:
-metal tray or a plate
-chalk board spray paint
-painters tape
-1” ribbon
-hot glue gun and glue sticks
-chalk
Tape off your edges and cover with newspaper any surface you don’t want dirty. Find a well ventilated area and evenly spray the future writing surface. Allow to dry and then apply a second layer of chalk board paint.
Since it is so cold in my garage I was finding it was taking a really long time for the paint to dry, so I used my hair dryer to speed up the process.
After both coats have dried, attach a ribbon to the back with hot glue so the chalkboard can be displayed on the wall. Or use a decorative stand as I have.
Before you use the chalkboard you will have to “condition” the board by using a piece of chalk and rubbing it over the whole surface.
If you have messy edges that need cleaning up use your finger nail or a handy dandy Magic Eraser to rub off the excess.
I have used this little board so much since I have made it. It has been a great little message board in our home.
Happy Gifting. Merry Christmas!
