How to Make a DIY Magnetic Chalkboard
You are only going to need a few supplies to make this project:
- Old 8 x 10 picture frame (or super cute new one that was 50% off!)
- magnetic adhesive tape and adhesive magnets that make anything magnetic!)
- Chalkboard Spray Paint
1. The first thing you will want to do is remove the glass from the frame.
2. In a well ventilated and covered surface area, place a good cat of the chalkboard spray paint onto the glass. Allow it to dry.
3. Take the newly painted glass and prime with a piece of chalk, and then place it into the picture frame.
4. Flip the frame over and remove any hardware that you will no longer need on the frame.
5. Grab the adhesive magnets and tape. Space out the magnets evenly over the back of the frame.
6. Then apply a couple of strips of tape just to be on the safe side. Frames are heavy and these little magnets just won’t do the job all by themselves.
