Step 1one canvas.
shake/stir the magnetic primer like mad.
im using Marabu Magnetico "other brands are available
-
Step 2apply the magnetic primer to the whole of the canvas. you can test it as you go along but you're probly gunna need at least two or three coats.
-
Step 3ya need to leave it to dry (12-24 hours apparently, im not that patient, push ya luck, go on i dare ya)
you'll know when its dry coz it wont be as sparkly
-
Step 4get ya roller and start applying ya paint, any acylic paint will do
-
Step 5you'll need a coupla coats or it'll look patchy like this, don't worry bout the join too much coz that'll be covered over anyway.
-
Step 6design ya monster, i had this in my sketch book and he seemed to fit what i was after
-
Step 7make a stencil of your design and lay it over the canvas, i use freezer paper for my stencils coz you can iron it in place, but you'll have to be careful with this.
-
Step 8once the paint is dry, paint over the stencil with blackboard paint (marabu again) again you'll need a coupla coats, make sure you protect the rest of your canvas though.
-
Step 9and ya done. get some chalk - draw
i went over some patchy bits which are still wet in this pic...
probly shoulda taken another pic of it dry before i gave it away
-
Step 10im already working on some more for my dawanda store,ya know, if ya wanna save yaself some time... ;)
