How To Make A Chalkboard Sign

For this simple chalkboard sign, I got almost everything I needed at Dollar Tree (except the chalkboard paint) which made it a frugal craft as well as an easy one!

You may not be aware but you can order online at DollarTree.com if you don’t have a store near you.

What You Need

Chalkboard paint or a small chalkboard
Wooden sign
Chalk or a chalk pen in the colour of your choice.
Christmas decorations (swag, berries, glitter and decals)

Directions

1.If you are using a plain wooden sign for your chalkboard sign, the first thing you need to do is paint it with chalkboard paint. You can easily get spray paint for your chalkboard at local hardware stores.

2. Once the paint is dried, it’s time to decorate your chalkboard. Use hot glue to fix your swag or ribbons to your sign however you feel.

3. Once you are happy with your decorations, you can choose what you want to write on your sign.
