I just have to say...I HEART chalkboards!
It must be the teacher in me.
I have a chalkboard door in my kitchen (for grocery lists & to do lists), my craft room's door is a chalkboard and now I have a chalkboard wall in my entry way.
Oh, and I also have an 'All About Chalkboards' board on Pinterest.
So, I guess one could say, 'I am obsessed with chalkboards'.
I shared with you a project I did while my husband was in California for a visit. That same weekend I tackled another project...a chalkboard wall. This is something I have been wanting to do for a long time, but I knew my husband would probably talk me out of if...that's why I waited for him to leave!
Here is the finished product.
I love having it right inside the front door,
so I can write inspiring words for all that enter our home.
This is a tutorial that I found on how to write on chalkboards.

After I painted my wall with chalkboard paint, I was thinking...what if somebody didn't want to paint a wall with chalkboard paint?
That question got me thinking and this is the solution I came up with:
A canvas painted with chalkboard spray paint.
What you will need:
A canvas (any size), I got mine at Walmart (2 for $7.97)
Chalkboard Spray Paint (I always use Rust-Oleum)
Wire or Ribbon to hang your canvas (I used wire)
Any decorative embellishments you would like
After I spray painted the canvas I used a straight pin to poke holes (for the wire) in the 2 top corners. Then, I stuck the wire through (bottom, left photo) and brought it up (bottom, right photo) to the desired length and twisted it to secure it. I, then curled the excess with a pencil (like in my owl tutorial). If you are using ribbon you could just hot glue it to the back of the canvas. I added a burlap bow and a tag on one side of my canvas. You could embellish it any way you would like or not at all, the choice is yours.
Happy Creating!
