Urban Hobby Homesteader: 1,2,3 Chalkboard

Friday, March 2, 2012

1,2,3 Chalkboard

1. Score a sweet white board from Goodwill for $5.

2. Buy Rustoleum chalk board spray paint or something like it and a roll of blue painter's tape at a home improvement store.

3. Cover the edges with the blue tape and spray the back of the white board (not the white part, the woody part) with 2 or 3 coats of said spray.

You now have a sweet new chalkboard/whiteboard hybrid! Booyah!

What's this for? The wedding. But I'm not going to say what role it will play just yet...

The front...

And the new and improved back!
