Description

I made the creating time high, 'cause the paints need to dry for more coats and final touches...

Instructions

  1. Small 101 0835 1272475532

    I found this box at my local gas station. I just dusted it off a bit :)

  2. Small 101 0852 1272475843

    Sand off all paint and rough edges.

  3. Small 101 0854 1272476089

    Prime the area that you want to paint the blackboard paint on. I painted the outlines with some bright colours(south-african spelling ;)) and the insides with a primer.

  4. Small 101 0855 1272477088

    I painted the words "speelgoed" which means toys around the upper part of the box. You can be creative here; paint your child's name, pictures, shapes, etc. Paints about 2 coats of the blackboard paint, more if needed. The same for the other parts of painted areas.

    Now the fun starts. Start decorating!!! I used some foam stickers to stick on the blackboard areas. And I used a black marker to ouline the words.
