A Message on A Mantel
Posted by DecoArt on Apr 1st 2014
Deliver a message with this rustic mantel accent that you can personalize with Americana® Chalkboard Paint.
SUPPLIES
- water container
- paper towels
- paintbrush
- chalk
- plywood board, in dimension of your choice
INSTRUCTIONS
- Wipe the plywood with a damp paper towel or cloth to remove any sawdust from cutting. Apply Black Chalkboard Paint on the plywood board in one direction (either horizontally or vertically).
- Allow to dry for one hour.
- Once the first coat has dried, apply a second coat of Black Chalkboard Paint, going in the opposite direction from the first coat.
- Allow the chalkboard to dry for 24 hours. (This allows the paint to cure and set properly.)
- Once the paint has cured, rub chalk all over the surface. Wipe off chalk dust.
- Write a message on the chalkboard in a pretty cursive font.
