Since then I have made a few more that I've used elsewhere around the house. Here is a simple tutorial on how to use chalkboard paint to make your own!
For all of these projects I used 'Rust-Oleum's' chalkboard spray paint.
In the basement I used painters tape to mark my shapes on the wall. When I was ready to spray I also used a large piece of cardboard along the taped edge and a large drop cloth on the floor. Holding your cardboard around the edges as you go in your left hand, use your right to wield the can! Hold it about 10-12 inches from the surface of the wall and spray light even strokes. I did about 3 coats per project letting it dry for about 10 minutes in between each.
For chalkboards that I could hang I went to my favorite store, Goodwill. I found this large super ugly piece. Its a framed apron. Not a cute one but a horrible one that left me wondering. (Seriously, why would someone frame such a thing) I liked the size and the design of the frame, so it made the perfect subject.
After removing the back and taking the ugliness out (revealing an even uglier mauvey print) I cleaned the glass front and layed it on my drop cloth. Using the same technique spray the glass (or mirror if you choose) with 3 even coats. Paint the frames in any color.
This one is in my son's "workshop".
We use this one in the kitchen for verses, menus (if we're being fancy) and to make a gratitude list with the kids occasionally. This one was once a mirror.
There are many other things you can do with chalkboard paint:
~paint the top of a children's table for an art surface
~paint labels for storage bins that can be erased when the contents change
~paint the surface of a metal bucket for storage

So many good ideas, so little time! Happy chalking!

I love the idea of painting on glass or mirror, but when I tried it the chalkboard (spray paint) peeled off. What's your secret?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure, I've never had a problem with peeling. I cleaned my glass good to begin with and used Rust-oleum spray paint. Good luck!
