Instructions:
- Measure the wall area you want to cover in the kitchen. Purchase a 3/4" thick piece of medium density fiberboard to size. Sand the edges smooth.
Drill two holes, slightly larger than the width of your rope, in the top corners of the board. - Apply a single coat of Super Black Primer, followed by several thin coats of Chalkboard Paint until you have total coverage. Several thin coats of Chalkboard Paint will give you a smoother, more attractive finish than one thick one.
When the paint is dry, thread your rope through the holes, forming a loop at the back. Tie in large knots at the front to secure. Hang board by the rope and you have a personalized memo board!
