27 Remarkable Chalkboard Craft Ideas
Whether you call it a chalkboard or a blackboard, I've found some great crafts to share with you. These crafts use blackboard paint in the form of spray paint or brush on paint,
Although blackboard or chalkboard crafts aren't a real new craft, it still is difficult to find projects that are different. While searching for blackboard crafts, that also had instructions for making them, I found that there are some exceptional products to achieve the results that we expect when using them to make a blackboard or chalkboard craft.
This article shows you pictures and gives you the site address that will take you directly to the craft. I hope you find a chalkboard craft or two that you'll want to make.
For directions on making chalkboard candle pails as shown above, go to craft warehouse.
