Try-It-Tuesday: DIY I Love You Chalkboard

Happy Tuesday!!

Hope you all are doing well! A while ago, I made this little chalkboard as a gift. How cute, right?!

I saw this idea on Pinterest, but you had to buy it, and I didn't want to pay that much. Ain't nobody got money fo dat. Soo, I was determined to DIY it. 

Here's what you'll need:

- Chalkboard Paint*

- White Paint Marker

- 1 Medium Paintbrush**

- Newspaper (to lay down on the table)

- Some sort of Wood Canvas

- This file, printed out

- 1 Pack of White Chalk

*Or you can DIY yours, I found this paint was cheap though.
**Obviously I used a tiny one, but its all I could find. It will take less time if you get a larger one.

So, start off by painting your wooden canvas with the black chalkboard paint. I would suggest painting two coats, waiting a few hours in between each. 

Take your printed off file and trace the letters with a pencil. Then place it upside down, and colour the back until you have covered all the lettering. Once you lift the paper up, it should look like this:

(Sorry about the lighting).

Then, it's fairly simple. Just take your white paint marker and trace in the lines of the pencil. It will probably take a few coats! And then this is what it should look like:

Pair it with some chalk on the side in a jar like this, or you could also glue on a painted scrabble tile holder for the chalk to rest on.

All done! Cheap, easy, and cute!
