Chalkboard "Art"
I got this big chalkboard at Christmas tree shop (like $15) to put in our kitchen. Thought it would be cute to write little inspirational messages and create seasonal/holiday themed designs.
I just use regular cheap chalkboard chalk (skinny kind). Prime the chalkboard before you start by rubbing chalk all over surface then erase it using a chalkboard eraser. I always mark the center and font sizes using light chalk lines to avoid crooked designs (light lines are ez to erase later)...I never trust my eye.
I learned a nice "cheat" from Pinterest...
Print out font/words, cover back of words with chalk, then trace over onto board to transfer. Original pin here: http://littlebirdiesecrets.blogspot.com/2013/02/valentines-heart-wreath-chalkboard-art.html
