<h1>HOW TO CREATE A CHALKBOARD WALL</h1>
<p> </p>
<p>Keep your to-do list close at hand with a chalkboard wall. It's a fun accent</p>
<p>that's perfect for sharing family info, from grocery lists to carpool schedules.</p>
<p>Don't worry— you got this! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>STEP 1 PREPARE THE SURFACE</p>
<p>First, remove loose paint and lightly sand the surface, then clean with soap</p>
<p>and water, rinse and let dry.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>STEP 2 APPLY PRIMER</p>
<p>Then, if necessary, apply a primer to any unpainted surface and let dry for at least 2 hours.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>STEP 3 STIR THE PAINT</p>
<p>Stir the chalkboard paint thoroughly.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>STEP 4 APPLY PAINT EVENLY ACROSS SURFACE</p>
<p>Using a good quality brush or a roller designed to give a smooth finish, apply an even coat. Try to avoid excessive brushing or rolling.</p>
<p>STEP 5 LET DRY AND APPLY A SECOND COAT</p>
<p>Let it dry for four hours before applying a second coat. After the second coat is applied let it dry for three days before use.</p>
<p>STEP 6 SEASON THE CHALKBOARD</p>
<p>To provide the best erasability, rub the side of a piece of chalk over theentire surface of the chalk wall, and erase. The thin layer of chalk dust will act as a barrier.</p>
