Vinyl Sticker Chalkboard Signs

Chalkboards are a fun way to add a new texture and some visual interest to your wedding, but not all of us are gifted chalk artists. In this post we will discuss a simple solution to avoid some of the frustration that can come with chalk hand lettering. 

You will only need three items for this project, a chalkboard, a vinyl sticker and some chalk or chalk pens.

What to do: 

1) Select a chalkboard shape and style of your choice. We decided to use a simple bracket chalkboard but if that isn't your cup of tea we have multiple styles available on our website under our Here Comes the Bride event page. http://www.adornit.com/events/here-comes-the-bride/decor/

2) Make sure your chalkboard is clear of all dust and imperfections to avoid bubbles or rough spots in your sticker application.

3) Decide how you want your chalk board to sit and at what angle you would like your text to appear.

4) Apply your sticker! We have multiple gold vinyl stickers to choose from in our Here Comes the Bride event! We decided on our gold Ever After sticker.

5) After applying the sticker the artistic direction is completely up to you! We decided to take a piece of chalk and add some "dust" around the text to give it more attitude. To do this simply lay the chalk on its side and lightly rub around the text. If it goes on too heavy, no worries! Simply rub it with a cloth, paper towel of even your own finger.

6) After the dusting is complete we decided to add some leafy accents to the border of our chalkboard with a chalk pen. This can seem daunting to those of us with little artistic abilities but it can be fun and easy!

 7) Draw a line that shadows the border of the chalkboard (make sure to leave enough room for leaf details) and simply go along the line with little triangles to make leafs. Simple as that! Get as intricate and detailed as you want! 

8) Step back and admire your work! You are now a pro chalk artist!
