diy chalkboard wall

I was ready to change up my bedroom. So the only logical way to do this was to paint an entire wall with black chalkboard paint. It wasn't hard and I am in love with the results. Here's how to make your own CHALKBOARD WALL!

you will need- 

1. chalkboard paint (found at Home Depot) 
2. paint brush
3. paint roller
4. plastic tarp
5. painter's tape
6. chalk (of course) 

step one- 

using painters tape, mask off anything you don't want the black paint all over. Lay down plastic tarp. 

step two- 

cut around the corners where the paint roller won't fit with paint brush. 

step three- 

use paint roller to fill in entire wall. 

step four- 

wait three-four hours before recoating the wall with paint brush and roller. 

step five- 

let paint dry overnight. then cover in chalk to cure the chalkboard. 

step six- 

wait twenty minutes before erasing the chalk. in this time, clean up the dust. BEWARE it will be everywhere. 

step seven- 

erase chalk with a damp rag. be sure to clean rag in between coats. 

step seven and one half- 

yay! you're done! now it's time to doodle. 

step eight- 

sit back and enjoy your work.
