Blackboard paint

Blackboard paint is something I love working with.

I love that you can use on most anything and it's really not that expensive.

About 6 years ago, I decorated Leah's bedroom and painted her a chalkboard on the wall.

It was a real labour of love doing the border, I printed the flowers off on sticker paper and cut each one out, pretty fiddly work.

I've had a pot of black blackboard paint for a couple of months and have finally got around to using it.

Here's what I did.



Frame from Ikea and paint from B & Q

Three coats of paint on the mirror side and two coats on the back.

Plain wood embellishment from  craft shop.

Painted with white acrylic paint.

A nice even coating of mod podge.

Sprinkled with fine glitter straight away, whilst the mod podge still wet.
I did a second coat after the first had dried.

I stuck it to the mirror frame using super glue.
Just one or two more jobs to do on this one.
