Tips & Recommendations to Keep In Mind
Foundation Banner
The burlap banner creates a sound and solid foundation for the DIY chalkboard sign. It folds up nicely for easy and compact storage between memorable moments. I found the Burlap Pennant Banner at Hobby Lobby years ago, but I included an ideal option here for a few dollars.
Chalkboard Paint
Chalkboard paint is a super versatile paint to use for many projects. I have only used the liquid chalkboard paint, which can be applied with a paint brush or a foam brush; both are equally as effective. I also recommend using at least three coats of paint. The chalkboard surfaces get plenty of wear and tear with the multiple chalk scriptures and erasures.
Pretty Lettering
Stencils are a great option to apply a thoughtful message on the banner. Stencils come in different sizes and I have included an option here plus more in the shopping section below. I recommend using regular chalk rather than chalk pen or markers. Although the pen and markers create a cleaner impression, they are hard to remove and leave a residue on the piece.
