DIY Wedding Chalkboard

Modern Wedding Posted: April 29, 2013

The humble chalkboard is now a staple in the wedding world. Its role is many and varied - sharing a menu, giving directions or simply saying something sweet. If you're planning on using a chalkboard or  more then why not personalise things and DIY !

FRAMED CHALKBOARD

You will need:

Photo frame (choose a frame that complements your theme), white primer paint, foam paint brush, chalkboard paint

How to create:

1. Remove glass from the photo frame.

2. Paint one coat of primer onto the backing board of the frame. Once dry, apply a coat of chalkboard paint following the directions on the can. Allow curing for at least 48 hours before writing on the board.

3. Place board back into the frame.

*HINT: Use a damp cloth when removing the chalk from the board. A standard chalkboard duster will not completely remove all the chalk.

Do you have some cute ideas of what to write on your chalkboard? Share them with us!
