Let your guests know what's for dinner! This DIY chalkboard menu board is easy to make using Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint and a picture frame.

  1. Find a spot outdoors and cover nearby items with drop cloths to protect them from paint splatters.
  2. Take the glass out of the frame and clean the inside and outside of the glass, using a lint free cloth.
  3. Using a foam roller, apply Rust-Oleum Chalkboard Paint on the outside of the glass. Avoid excessive brushing or rolling. Use light, even stokes to ensure an even and smooth finish.
  4. The chalkboard finish will be ready to be used after the paint has dried for three days. Before writing on the chalkboard, condition the surface by rubbing the side of a piece of chalk over entire area and erasing.
  5. Use chalk to write your menu on the chalkboard and display it for your guests.
