Chalkboard Sign

October 3, 2013

Hi friends, I made a fall-inspired chalkboard sign using foam board and a box shelf that I purchased way back when.

 It is Apple & Pumpkin Picking Season 





This is the shelf I used.   
It's cute huh?




 I measured and cut to size so the board fits snug inside the box.




Here is what I used
You need two coats of paint. When using chalkboard paint make sure you wait 1 hour between each coat.
And 24 hours before you can write on it.  I got a little impatient and wrote on it that same day.  Not a good idea.

 After I waited ........ I drew this masterpiece (haha)





Happy Apple and Pumpkin Picking!

    That's cute! :-) I didn't realize chalkboard paint was available in little bottles. Hmmmm? You've got me thinking. Thanks for the inspiration.
