Build your own blackboard at home

In Brycus you will find everything you need to create your ideas. always with the best budget and with the best quality. Therefore, if you are interested in having a blackboard in your home, Brycus Crafts advises you two possibilities: one for the kitchen and one for the children's room. Let's first look at the idea of a blackboard in your kitchen.

To have a blackboard in the kitchen, a good idea is to reuse an old wooden tray or box that serves as a frame or support for the blackboard. Measurements are taken from the inside of the box and a MDF wooden board is cut. This piece of wood is sanded, a layer of sealant paint is applied to cover the pores and it is allowed to dry. When it is dry, a layer of synthetic, semi-matte paint with a slate effect is applied. And ready. You should only use the box as a support for the board and if you want to use the box, then remove the board.

If you found the blackboard in the kitchen very easy and fun to make, you will be amazed at how fast it can be to put a blackboard in the children's room. A good tip is to have one of the walls of the room to the full width and a little higher than the height of the children, so that they can unleash their creativity. To do this, you must apply the same previous procedure done with the piece of wood that served as the blackboard, but this time the support will be the wall itself.

Mark with the help of a graphite pencil the surface of the wall that you want to turn into a blackboard. Get creative and play with different shapes, an elephant, a dachshund ... It doesn't have to be rectangular. Mark the boundary with paint tape to protect the color you're applying from sticking out. You must work that surface with sandpaper and sealer paint to smooth it. Then, when it is dry, you apply the special synthetic paint that has the slate effect. That's it. When drying, your children will have a surface on which to play and practice their counting and writing.
