I have been working hard (ok, that's a lie) to get the house ready for DH and I to go back to work. That includes putting the finishing touches on my homemade chalkboard! I bought the the trim, sprayed it with Krylon's Indoor/Outdoor spray paint, painted the board with chalkboard paint ($4 clearance!) and assembled it with Gorilla Glue. Now all I have left is to finish my grid for my calendar.
Let me just say a little a little something about Krylon's spray paint:
- Don't try to self check out at Walmart with it. Duh!!
- Their cans now come with a EZ Touch 360°™ Dial Spray Tip. Heavenly! Just twist the white nozzle to make spraying at difficult angles a million times easier.
- Krylon makes the most beautiful colors! I had a hard time just buying one. (I did grab a couple of cans on clearance recently --I couldn't resist!)
- I sprayed the frame and 30 mins later toted it home in my car without a smudge! Their 10 minute or less drying time is pretty spot on!
- Sometimes I'm a genius. On the back of the chalkboard I wrote, "Krylon, Blue Ocean Breeze, Gloss," so I could remember what to touch it up with if the need arose or if I wanted to use the same color on another piece. Pretty sweet tip, no?
I found that the further back I stayed when spraying the more even the paint went on. I had no drips or pools.
One more thing...
Out of curiosity does any woman in their right mind really need a reminder for this?:
