A Simple Colored Chalkboard

Step 5Mounting and Enjoying

Mounting and Enjoying
Place the sawtooth hangers evenly apart on the back of your chalkboard and nail them in to attach. Be careful to not hammer all the way through to where the nail in sticking out of the front. If that happens then just pull the nail out a bit and hammer the nail sideways so that it stays flat against the board.

Mount as on the wall as if you are hanging a picture frame. If you are in a location where you aren’t allowed to put holes in the walls (dorms or rented housing) then I highly, highly recommend the Command strips.

I added the Command jewelry organized underneath to hold my chalk and rag but also to place my keys since mine is by my front door. It might be a little costly, but it looks nice and is extremely useful.

That’s it! You can use the board just like any other chalkboard. Your friends can leave you messages or pictures when visiting, you can write a to-do list on it, you can write a grocery list or little reminders to yourself on it, and so many other things. The chalk should wipe off clean with a rag. Enjoy!
