Last week I made this chalkboard using a 8x10 frame I bought at the Dollar Tree & a can of chalkboard spray paint. There's so many ways you can make this. If you are making it for a child, you probably want to use plastic or wood (other than glass!). I needed one right away so my frame isn't what I really want. I'll be in a lookout for a prettier frame!
It was fairly simple...
Supplies:
8x10 Frame (Dollar Tree- $1)
Chalkboard Spraypaint ($4) - Rust-Oleum Brand
Chalk ($0.50) - Not shown in picture
Sorry I don't have step by step photos with the below instructions. I didn't take pictures because I was rushing to get it done before picking up my babies. It's pretty straight forward though. Feel free to ask me any questions!
Step 1: Remove glass and clean with soap & water. Dry thoroughly.
Step 2: Lay newspaper (or whatever you want) on floor in a well ventilated area. Place cleaned glass on top.
Step 3: Flowing instructions on spray paint, shake can vigoursly & apply 2 coats waiting for it to dry in between.
I waited 24 hours for it to dry completely.

Step 4: Prime glass by rubbing side of chalk all over & erase.
Step 5: Replace glass in frame & you're done!
