Today I come with an idea that in addition to being decorative is very practical. Let's see how to make a homemade chalkboard on the wall. In this case it is a blackboard in the shape of a football field I have made for a children's room, but you can adapt it according to needs. You will only have to change the shape and color of the paint, the process will be the same. Let's go with the step by step ...
Makings:
- Green chalk paint.
- Varnish.
- Brush.
- Roller.
- Beaker.
- Pencil.
- Eraser.
- Masking tape.
- Washi tape.
- measuring tape.
Processing:
- Begin by taking measurements of the soccer field. I have looked on the Internet and I have adapted them to the space I had to paint the blackboard. In my case, it is large and its measurements are 1,90 x 1,40 cm. but you can adapt it to the measurements you want. Once the marks of the dimensions have been raised apply the masking tape to make the masks and paint like that in straight lines without problems. For the circle I have painted it with the brush. and in the goal areas I have used washi tape, so that the lines are finer.
- Give a first coat of paint to which you will have added a little water so that the brush slides better. Let it dry.
- Apply a second coat of paint, this time with the roller. With this it will be enough, but it goes in tastes, if you want you can give it one more.
- Once the paint is finished, you can remove the masking tape, it is not necessary to wait until it is dry, it is even better, because it will be wet and it will come out better.
- You will surely see pencil marks, You can erase once the paint is dry.
- Last apply the varnish, which will make writing and erasing perfect with chalk. I have given it two layers.
Now it only remains to write, draw and enjoy !!! See you at the next.
