I decided to use canvas for 2 reasons.
- I had a bunch of extra ones floating around waiting for a project
- Canvas is easy to hang on a wall.
- No need to buy any expensive chalkboard paint.
First, measure the correct length of the chalkboard contact paper you need and cut it. The stuff I bought has a grid on it to help you cut straight.
Apply the chalkboard contact paper to the canvas. Mine came rolled up tight, so I needed to carefully align the top edges so that it would cover the full board.
I decided to do a reverse canvas for my board. You can find full instructions on How to Make a Reverse Canvas Here
Your instructions on how to make a canvas chalkboard are so well explained and clear I think I may even be able to make it. I am not very crafty and tend to shy away from projects like this, but feel this one may be different.
Wow, what a great idea and tutorial! I love the idea of having a chalk board to display the weekly menu! I might have to try that. Thank you for sharing.

I’m hoping to make a little chalkboard for my son soon so this will come in handy!
