Anything chalkboard has taken over these days, but I was a reluctant fan… they can look messy and I don’t like the smudge factor. There must be a better way I thought, and there is!
I ordered these from Amazon.com, but I’m sure they are widely available. I couldn’t wait to give them a try
This is so much more fun than struggling with a piece of chalk! If you want to add a more chalk-like look, you can add some touches with real chalk
Just outline some of the letters and shapes with the wide side of your chalk or pastel.
uh oh… I had a feeling it might be hard to remove~
I did experiment with removing this chalk pen ink from chalkboard tags, that I used for napkin rings and was very successful. Sometimes the surface composition will make a difference in how the medium reacts to it.
I read online that ammonia based cleaners, like Windex, would work, and with a little hard rubbing it faded away!
Time to try something new!
This is really lots of fun!
I am looking forward to finding lots of ways to use these Chalk Pens!
They are great for chalkboard labels, like this one for Everything Seasoning, you get the look without the smear factor!
A spot for the manly cookbooks on the baker’s rack, is labeled for the chefs around here to find quickly~
Release your inner doodler!
