“I want a temporary chalkboard”
If you like the idea of making a chalkboard but don’t have the time or aren’t very crafty, here is an easy 30 second solution:
What you need:
(if you have kids, chances are you have this stuff around the house)
- 1 sheet of construction/craft paper. Usually comes in a multi-colour pack, can be purchased at craft, office and dollar stores)
- A picture frame or framed art, measuring 8 x 10 (or smaller)
- Writing chalk
5 seconds: Tear out a sheet of black (or any colour really) craft/construction paper. 15 seconds: Write something clever, silly or meaningful using your chalk. 10 seconds: Slip/shimmy/slide the craft paper on top of the frame (where the frame meets the glass OR where the frame meets the canvas art piece).
Times up: YOU ARE DONE! yeah.
BEFORE: framed art
THE TRANSFORMATION: gently slip craft paper on top of art, between frame and art piece. If your frame is smaller than the craft paper, cut or fold to size.
AFTER: The instant (ok, 30 second) chalkboard is complete!
