Chalkboard paint

Painters Tape

Tools:

Tape measure

Circular saw

Sander

To start, cutting your plywood into 5″ past times 7″ rectangles. I made them this size because I wanted the chalkboard purpose to live on 4″ x 4″ when it was done (the same equally an instagram pic!), in addition to this gave me a overnice buffer. I used a plywood amongst a maple veneer, only because I similar the await :)

Now, sand downwards all of your pieces thus that they are smoothen everywhere. I knew my 2 twelvemonth one-time would desire to play amongst these (which she has!) thus I made certain that in that place were no sudden edges.

I don’t accept a moving painting of the side past times side step, but yous desire to embrace all sides of the plywood amongst varnish. This volition protect them, in addition to permit yous to easily launder the Polaroids off amongst water. Next, yous desire to mensurate a 1/2″ from the right, left, in addition to transcend of the plywood piece. You tin grade these spots amongst a pencil, correct on your plywood (the pigment volition embrace it!). Also, mensurate 1 1/2″ from the bottom. Add painters record all roughly the exterior of your markings. You should live on left amongst a 4″ x 4″ opened upward foursquare inwards the middle of your painters tape. Paint that inwards amongst chalkboard pigment (two coats). Now you’re done!

Grab some chalk, or a chalk marker, in addition to depict away!

I LOVE them thus much. I honestly didn’t know how they would plow out (I’ve had a few DIY flops hither in addition to there!), but I actually beloved them. I tin encounter myself pulling these out every flavour in addition to decorating every drape amongst them.
