"C" is for Chalkboard Sign

Build: knock off chalkboard sign

Here it is at the bakery for the party:

Here’s how I made the chalkboard sign:

1. Cut 1/2″ plywood to 24″ x 27″.

Make a craft paper template. Cut the craft paper same size as wood then fold in half and half again:

Draw curvy edges:

2. Cut out curvy edges and unfold:

3. Place template on top of plywood and trace around edges:

4. Using a jigsaw cut out curvy edges then sand smooth:

5. Paint two coats black chalkboard paint.

Add pink detail edge, I needed 3 coats to get the pink opaque:

6. Season the chalkboard by rubbing chalk all over then erase with cloth:

7. Start adding lettering:

8. Add hook eyes into edge board at top:

We ended up not using the hooks but they’re ready for next time.

A great, fast and easy project that’s reusable for any occasion.
