You Will Need (5 things)

Steps (7 steps, 300 minutes)

  1. 1

    I found this box at my local gas station. I just dusted it off a bit :)

  2. 2

    Sand off all paint and rough edges.

  3. 3

    Prime the area that you want to paint the blackboard paint on. I painted the outlines with some bright colours(south-african spelling ;)) and the insides with a primer.

  4. 4

    I painted the words "speelgoed" which means toys around the upper part of the box. You can be creative here; paint your child's name, pictures, shapes, etc.
    Paints about 2 coats of the blackboard paint, more if needed. The same for the other parts of painted areas.

  5. 5

    Now the fun starts. Start decorating!!! I used some foam stickers to stick on the blackboard areas. And I used a black marker to ouline the words.

  6. 6

    The four sides of the toy box.
