Homemade chalkboard craft

Super easy and cheap. Makes a great gift. I used it as a "Don't forget" board so I would see it right before I left the house. You could make one for a to-do list or a menu board for the kitchen.


Supplies:
I used a wooden board from Hobby Lobby, in the wood section-1.99
Chalkboard spray paint, you can get this at any craft store.
Scrapbook paper and adhesive letters.

First I painted the trim hot pink and let it dry overnight.
Use painter's tape to tape off the trim.
I put on 3 coats of chalkboard paint and let it dry for 4 hours.
Use scrapbook paper or ribbon to make your heading.

Total cost: $7
