Family Home Evening Chalk Board

 

 

 

FHE Chalk Board

 

 

I have wanted to create this for my family for awhile and finally got around to it.

 

 

 

 

I found an old piece of wood in our garage from other projects.

 

 

Instructions for chalk board paint:

 

1/2 cup acrylic paint (any color)

 

1 tablespoon un-sanded grout

 

I mixed them together with disposable plastic cup and spoon.  I used a sponge brush to paint with.  Easy clean up.  The paint can dry quickly.  I doubled the batch and painted this piece front and back with two coats and still had some left over for my daughter to paint a smaller board.

 

While the paint dried I used my Silhouette machine to cut out the white vinyl for the lettering.

 

After the paint was dry, I placed my vinyl on the painted surface. 

 

Next take a piece of chalk and rub it all around the painted surface and rub off the excess chalk with a paper towel.  Done!

 

This was so much fun and really took less time then I expected!
