I have been noticing all of this chalkboard art craze--check out this search result on Pinterest so you know what I am talking about----beautiful stuff! How cool would it be to make one of these! Think of it, these would be amazing for your parties, classroom , play rooms, bedrooms, a play kitchen. I mean really--the options are endless!!! The problem: Who the heck has really cute handwriting to make these ! I certainly don't----I know--shocker! But I actually handwrite pretty bad. So I said to myself "Dude! How about if we make one that has our Editable Text feature with cool fonts so anyone can type in whatever they want ?". So that is exactly what I did!
I made a whole bunch of these boards above! They are 18 x 24 but you can also use this same file and reduce to print on tabloid or letterhead sheets. You are probably asking "Dude! That's a lot of black ink--ain't it? " Why yes it is! And I have an answer for you! DON'T YOU DARE print this on your inkjet printer--save your ink! Instead--print them at your local Office Print shop (Staples, Kinko's etc.) Use their laser printers and voila! And check THIS out--if you print them BIG at 18 x 24 inches on their black and white "blue print" machine--it will cost between $2.50 - $6.00 depending on where you go (pssst! Staples is the cheapest one though). So there! But honestly you CAN print them on an inkjet--I did and they looked fab but it does eat a lot of ink so going to your print shop is highly recommended.
There's more! So you may be saying---"I want a little pop of color here and there like the real chalkboards on Pinterest". No problem! Grab yourself some REAL color chalk and add some accent colors here and there. I will post some photos of what that looks like too.
So what do you think? Another Paper Glitter Invention? Or did this one bite the dust? Thoughts , themes and ideas are welcomes--oh and YES…little itsy bitsy ones to make cute little mini chalkboards are coming too :)
So when will these be available? I have a little helper running around test printing these so after all the testing and photography is done they will be in the shop.
