DIY Chalkboard

Here's my $3.75 Chalkboard for my Front Porch Redo!

Ok let's get started! This is a SUPER easy project!

Supplies:

• Picture Frame (You can pick these up super cheap usually at Yard Sales or at the Goodwill)
• 1 Can of Chalkboard Spray Paint (Pretty much every store carries it now: Michaels, Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc..)

Step 1:

Find the frame you want. This particular frame was only $3.75 from the Goodwill. It's about 3ft tall and 18" wide.

Take a part your frame. Remove the glass, matting and photo and discard. But make sure you keep the backing of the photo! This is what we will be using as our chalkboard. 

Step 2:

Time to get spraying!

You will want to follow the directions on your spray can. I did 3-4 coats and let dry overnight.

Step 3:

Prep your Chalkboard! Take your chalkboard outside, this gets a little messy. Take a piece of chalk and rub it on your new chalkboard lengthwise (so instead of using the tip you would normally use to write with, use the long side). Cover every piece of the chalkboard and make up and down stokes. Use a cloth and rub the entire board to wipe off the chalk. Clean up, and you are ready to use!

Enjoy!
