I have wanted to make a FHE board for a while now but I have not found one I really like. I have looked at ones with multiple pieces that you move around on little hangers or nails, ones with Velcro, even ones made with Ribbon and clothes pins. None of them seemed right I needed my own, something original soooo...
I made a chalk board one :) (My hubby laughed at me because it's on a board of wood he thought it was punny lol)
I didn't get pictures of everything so I apologize but it is easy to follow :)
here's how I did it.
I made my own chalk board paint. if you use spray on stuff just spray your surface as par cans directions and skip to step 5
you will need
1/2cup Paint (whatever colour you like)
1Tbs sanded grout
surface you wish to use as your board
sand paper (fine)
extra paint (diff colour) to paint on assignments and whatever else you would like.
step 1
mix 1/2c paint with 1Tbs grout mix so there are no clumps ( I added the paint to the grout and slowly added more paint so it didn't clump)
Step 2
paint board - let dry
Step 3
sand slightly
Step 4
use side of chalk and rub all over board - wipe off (this is to condition the board for use)
Step 5
paint on assignments ect
Step 6
Use chalk to write in who has what and enjoy :)
