Magnetic chalkboard wall


Thirty-something easy steps for DIY magnetic chalkboard wall.
  1. select the wall, any wall that you like. or rather, any you do not like.
  2. write a tiny note about it's destiny. pin it on the household bulletin board. wait for three days for any written objections.
  3. go to your local paint store and buy white paint, magnetic paint, chalkboard paint, painting tools and masking tape.
  4. stick the masking tape to all endangered artifacts around the wall.
  5. protect the floor with cardboard.
  6. paint the outer edges of the wall with white paint.
  7. do that twice.
  8. don't forget to wash the tools in between.
  9. wait for a day so the paint really dries.
  10. take masking tape and make a nice rectangle-perfect frame round the edges of the wall.
  11. bring in the magnetic paint.
  12. paint the wall once. from bottom to top or top to bottom. doesn't really matter. yes it's a slow progress work.
  13. clean the tools.
  14. wait for at least six hours.
  15. paint the wall for second time. from left to right, or right to left, doesn't really matter. yes it's a slow progress work.
