I just eyeballed it and ripped, so just go ahead and use whatever amount of fabric looks good to you!.
It doesn’t even have to be a fancy cereal box.It can be a generic one from Walmart too!.
I measured and cut some little rectangles (I think they’re about 7″x3″) and grabbed a foam brush and some Americana chalkboard paint.I love the chalkboard spray paint and the big cans of it too for bigger jobs, but these little bottles are perfect for all your mini chalkboarding needs..I did two coats and let them dry about 2-3 minutes between coats.
I always hear people say that you need to put a crazy amount like 8 coats on when you do chalkboards, or that you need to let it sit for 24 hours before you touch it, but I’ve only ever done 2 coats and have always just barely let it dry, even on glass, and my chalkboards always turn out perfectly.So if you want to take the impatient route like I do, I say go ahead!.
Next, I “seasoned” them by rubbing some chalk all over them and then wiping it off.. Time to see how they look!
I used some thumb tacks to attach them to the fronts of the baskets.This Thrifty House.
to iron fabric right onto the wall.. Really?I Googled it and read about 20 different tutorials on it.
There are a few ways to do it, but the way I did it was using spray starch, since that’s what I had..And yes, the yellow carpet is still there!.
