Frugal Tip: Chalkboard Contact Paper
Self Adhesive Chalkboard Contact Paper |
No need to paint things - just slap some of this wherever you like and it becomes a chalkboard!
Would be great for labels on mugs or bottles, on a child's tabletop, on the side of your cabinet or fridge, on the side of a dresser, an old full-length mirror, sliding closet doors, a picture frame for a portable chalkboard, even on the wall of your child's room!

for real. Do this!
Rub with the side of the chalk (evenly and lightly will do it) all over the board - and then erase it using a regular felt chalkboard eraser, DRY paper towel, or similar.
This makes chalkboards
takethe chalk much more smoothly. You may have to repeat this step one more time, but after this, you will find that the chalkboard paper does in fact work JUST LIKE a REAL CHALKBOARD!!
(They call this step
curingthe chalkboard, and it is necessary for ALL chalkboards if you really want to prep the surface well.)
