Who doesn't love chalkboard paint? For me, I love the reminiscent quality of chalk and how it brings me back to childhood, where my biggest concern was if I would get the coveted job of cleaning the chalkboard erasers by tapping them together outside. The puff of white dust always looked so magical to me. I am not a sports person, but I love seeing Lebron James start the game by throwing the chalk dust into the air. The white dust looks like a signal, a declaration that this is the beginning, that he has arrived and that nothing is going to stop him.
Here is my tutorial on how to create a chalkboard paint ornament that has a hidden message in the interior.
 |
| Tape ornament around where you do not want it to be painted. I cut "fringe" to make it easier to maneuver. |
 |
| For this ornament I wanted to have a message that could be also seen on the inside. Write a message backwards with a sharpie so when read through the glass it will be forwards. It did take me a little bit of thought, but if you mess up you can use nail polish remover to wipe away the sharpie. |
 |
| Paint over the words you wrote with white primer. When dry paint over with black chalkboard paint. I used chalkboard spray paint. |
