Altered Mini Chalkboard

Scribble homework reminders on a cute chalkboard.

Supplies

Step-by-Step

1. Step 1

   Stamp images onto white cardstock with Black Staz-On.

   

2. Step 2

   Color in your stamped images with Shimmerz Paints as you would any coloring medium. Trim out when dry. Shimmerz paints dry quickly.

   

3. Step 3

   When adding Shimmerz to chipboard, it is best to first apply some white paint to the chipboard since it is so porous.
   
   Then when dry, add your Shimmerz.
   

   

4. Step 4

   Add patterned paper to the sides of the chalkboard using Tacky Glue.
   
   I simply fold a piece of paper over the edges and trim where the fold lines are. No measuring here!!

   

5. Step 5

   Embellish the chalkboard with the stamped images, chipboard pieces, a ruler, ribbon, etc.

   

6. Step 6

   Adhere ribbon to the back of the frame using a hot glue gun. This will be used to hang the chalkboard.

   

7. Step 7

   Tie a bow around a piece of chalk, leaving a long tail on one end.
   
   Adhere the end of the long ribbon to the back of frame using hot glue gun.
