DIY Chalkboard Playroom Table & Wall
Easy DIY Chalkboard Table & Wall for your playroom on a budget.
Instructions
- Clean and dry the surface of the side table.
- Determine what surface of the table you want to cover. You can make a circle, square or whatever shape you like. We've used the simplest one - square.
- Use the gridline on the back of the chalkboard wallpaper to cut out the shape you chose.
- Peel slowly one side of the cutout chalkboard wallpaper and place where you want to have it on the table.
- Stick the cutout to the surface slowly and use your hands or a credit card to apply it smoothly without air bubbles.
- This goes best like that: Flatten the chalkboard cutout with a credit card or your hands all the way to the edge to force the air bubbles out. When the bubbles reach the edge of the cutout, slightly lift up the side of the chalkboard cutout for the air to be released. Continue pressing the chalkboard sticker until the bubbles are gone.
- That's it!
- Apply the same practice at any of your desired walls.
Enjoy them as a snack or a nutritious breakfast!
