Chalkboard paint is a spray paint that makes the surface it's sprayed on, into a chalkboard. It is very versatile, and usable on almost all surfaces - glass, wood, plastic and more.

Paired up with a mirror tile, you can create a stylish functional decoration for the wall.

Instructions

    • 1

      Gather your materiel to start. Place the mirror on old newspaper and pick a well ventilated room, or move the work area outside, before beginning.

    • 2

      Tape off a boarder on the mirror. Choose how thick the mirror boarder should be. A balance of 1/2 an inch to 1" looks nice. For clean lines, press the tape firmly on the mirror.

    • 3

      Shake the blackboard paint for one minute and spray over the entire mirror tile. Spray evenly, applying a thick coat of paint.

    • 4

      Allow to dry for 30 minutes. After drying, remove the tape slowly.

    • 5

      Next add a hanger to the back of the mirror tile. Mirror mounting tabs can be used, or a wire can be attached by hot gluing the ends to the tile. The wire can be hung on a nail.
