How to do Perfect Chalkboard Lettering

I always see people with these amazing chalkboards! My handwriting sucks so there was no way I would be able to do it. I wanted a cute board for our New Years Eve Party. I hand wrote it and didn't like it at all. I finally decided to try a vinyl stencil. It worked perfectly! I am now obsessed with my chalkboard!

Step 1: Make (or buy) vinyl stencil of the design you want. You need a stencil, not a decal.

Step 2: Apply vinyl to chalkboard

Step 3: Rub chalk over stencil

Scrapping off the excess chalk will prevent smudging.

All done!
