DIY Patriotic Chalkboards

by Mariah Leeson Giggles Galore

Have you ever seen those beautiful chalkboard signs with amazing hand lettering and detailed artwork and thought to yourself, “I wish I could do that!” I love chalkboard art, but I have terrible handwriting and can never quite get it right. That is until I discovered an easy way to create your own detailed chalkboard art for any occasion. I’m going to show you how I made DIY Patriotic Chalkboards for my Patriotic Mantle Display.

35 to 45 min. Intermediate

Step 1

Paint the edges of the unfinished chalkboard frame white. Let the paint dry.

Step 2

Cover the edges of the chalkboard frame with the patriotic washi tape.

Step 3

Since the chalkboards are new you will need to season them. To season the chalkboard take a piece of white chalk and rub it all over the surface of the chalkboard. Once the surface is completely covered take a damp rag and wipe it off.
