Create chalkboard art!
This is a quick tutorial of how I create chalkboard lettering and the tools I use. I plan on doing a more in-depth tutorial at some point once my chalkboard wall in my apartment is done!

Step 3
Here's my process! I start with a chalk sketch, editing sizing as I go. Exciting side note: you can sharpen chalk in a pencil sharpener! Or you can use a pre-sharpened soapstone pencil. Then I go over the sketch with a chalk pen, if you want it to stand out more, and wait for the pen to dry. Once the pen dries, you can wipe away the sketch with a normal cloth.
