{DIY} Chalkboard

A little instructing on how to create your own chalkboard-


Step 1: Find a cabinet door
I purchased this at a  yard sale



Step 2: Sand the area where  you are going to be "chalking" and tape the areas you don't want the spray to touch
Step 3: Spray with chalkboard paint. I used Rustoleum from Home Depot 

Step 4: Let it dry 24 hours and then "season" the board by rubbing chalk all over

Don't judge me. It is hard to write with a big piece of sidewalk chalk.
Cupboard: $2.00
Chalkboard paint: Approx. $2.50
{I think the can is about $5, but I have used it on other projects}
