How to make your own CHALKBOARD
With Corky the Pig!!
What you will need:
A piece of wood (You can find these at craft shops or any where really)
Chalkboard Paint (You can buy these at craft shops, or down the craft isle, it comes in a big tub. I got mine for about $4)
a paintbrush

decoration pieces *optional (I used left over whipple, 3D paint, some charm things I made and some fruit cane slices)
Black Paint *OPTIONAL
STEP 1: First paint the top of your wood with the chalk paint and wait for it to dry. Apply 2-4 coats depending on what paint you are using. I find it dries quicker when a fan or something is on)
STEP 2: Once you have applied all the coats, next paint the back of the board with plain black paint. This step is optional
STEP 3: Next you can decorate, you can see what I did in the pictures below
Step 4: Wait a few hours or 24hrs for best results before use!! Enjoy!! I hope you had fun!!
