I love the look of chalkboard art, but I have a few problems with it. One, I have terrible handwriting and I don’t like how chalkboards look when I write on them. Two, I don’t like having chalk dust all over the place around chalkboards. And three, I don’t want the art to wipe off if someone rubs into it. I decided to make an alternative that gives a similar look. It also ended up being less expensive for me than a big chalkboard too.

Choose a quote that you love. Using different fonts and shapes, design your quote to look like fancy chalkboard art. Cut it out on your white vinyl so that it will fit in your picture frame.

    Hi!, I was wondering what machine you used to cut the vinyl?

    Thank you!

      This was a contributor post from a couple of years ago- I think she probably used a cricut machine. Sorry to not be more helpful! xoxo~ Ruthie
