I made a chalkboard!

So I'm addicted to pinterest and I found this super cute idea with a chalkboard for bridal portraits. So of course I decided I needed to make one and use it as a prop. 

So off to Walmart I went in search of a picture frame and chalkboard paint. I found a cute frame for $5 but no paint. I searched all over and finally found some at Home Depot. yay. 

(I wish I had pictures of this but I was in such a rush to finish since my pictures were the next day)

First I sanded the picture frame down since it was black and gold and I wanted it to be all white. Then I spray painted the frame and set it aside to dry. While it was drying I took the glass from the frame and wiped it clean to make sure there wasn't anything on it. I then applied a coat of the chalkboard paint and let it dry. I applied two more coats and then let it all dry. After that was finished I took the side of a piece of chalked and ran it across the whole area. Then erase and put the glass (now chalkboard) back into the frame.

Here is the finished product:

As far as how my pictures turned out. It turned out great! But you have to wait until after the wedding to see :)
