Setting a beautiful holiday table is like crafting for all senses. Each element, from the sparkling dinnerware to the festive centerpiece, combines to create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Vibrant colors and thoughtful details set the stage for memorable gatherings. A beautifully set table is more than just a backdrop for a meal, it transforms an ordinary gathering into a special occasion. So, let your holiday table be the reflection of your festive spirit.
There is nothing more satisfying than seeing your guests get excited about the feast you are about to serve. A displayed menu adds a touch of sophistication to the dining setting, adding to the overall ambiance and elevating the experience. It shows thoughtfulness and consideration on the part of the host. Your guests will know that careful planning and attention have gone into preparing the meal. Using a beautifully framed chalkboard mounted on a wall or set atop a sideboard table with appetizers will give your guests a taste of what is yet to come. Using erasable liquid chalk markers means you can recreate your menu board for any occasion.
A Holiday party host rarely has time to field questions about cheese names. As with vinyl placemats, a tablecloth with a writable surface is a great way to create a cheese table and identify special herbs and characteristics or origins of the cheese offerings. Use chalk ink markers to answer your guests’ cheesy questions.
]]>Maybe the artist in your life still hasn’t found their tool of choice. Chalk markers are good starter tools because they combine pencils and paints. Instead of sketching a picture first and then painting it, you can get right to the colorful part with chalk markers.
They’re easy to maneuver and work with, even for experienced artists who want to try a new tool. It won’t be much of a learning curve, and most people pick up on it quickly. Plus, the multitude of colors that come in bulk is beautiful and plentiful.
Artists are very particular. Even pieces that seem raw and chaotic have a certain amount of precision. And working with tools that make control and precision easier for artists is always a plus. The fine tips and smooth flow allow artists to create intricate and elaborate designs easily.
The markers come in different sizes, so if there are larger pieces, artists won’t need to worry about manipulating a smaller marker to make it work for the design. Choose a larger chalk marker because it’s the perfect size to accommodate those special creations.
Sometimes, artists want to create on different platforms. Chalk markers give them that freedom. If they want people to experience and witness their art on the street, they can create it on a sidewalk, chalkboard, or even windows.
Chalk markers are very pigmented and easy to use on a wide range of surfaces. You can use them on all kinds of nonporous surfaces. For example, mirrors fall into that category. Most artists don’t want to limit themselves—they enjoy sharing their beautiful creations with the world and chalk markers make it easier to create outdoors.
A powerful finish is one of the greatest things about chalk markers. These markers give an art piece that extra oomph because of their bold opaque colors. With liquid chalk markers, you’re not just limited to gold, silver, and copper.
You can try out majestic blues, sparkling yellows, and glowing greens. Every color packs a punch and will catch the attention of anyone who walks by. At Chalk Ink, we offer the widest selection of colors available in various tip sizes. These markers will help elevate any artists.

]]>Wet wipe markers are best used on nonporous surfaces, which makes them great for a variety of applications, including the following:
Feel free to get as creative as you want with wet wipe markers. They come in an assortment of colors with a clear distinction from permanent markers—the pigment applies smoothly, is quick-drying, and can be removed with water and a cloth.
Don’t be fooled by “chalk” in the name. These markers don’t actually contain chalk! Instead, their pigment-based ink dries to a vibrant yet powdery finish. Because it uses ink instead of powder, the chalk markers are sometimes referred to as liquid chalk. They are also dust-free, like wet wipe markers. You can wipe away the marking with a wet wipe or damp cloth.
Shake the marker well before use. Then, press and pump the tip down on your writing surface and keep pressing until the liquid chalk flows into the tip. The tip starts as white or tan but absorbs the ink’s color as you use it. It might take a while to saturate the marker, but once you do, you can create messages wherever you please!
If you want to mark something and do not want the pigment to rub off or erase, the permanent markers are a great choice. They will work on any surface, but will not come off!
At Chalk Ink, we have wet wipe chalk markers and offer a semi-permanent formula for sign artists who need a longer lasting pigment for signs that may be affected by weather. By buying these products in bulk, you have an endless supply of unique writing tools and don’t need to worry about restocking for your next project.

Everyone loves a joke, and writing a joke a day on the board outside of your establishment is a great way to get customers inside. It puts a smile on their face right before they enter. Although “knock-knock, come inside, and we’ll serve you” might work well, get creative with it! Write a few jokes on the walls inside so the laughs keep coming. Pull from popular comedians or classic jabs from the internet. The jokes that make people stop and think are the best ones.
Get your Picasso on, and create an ultimate masterpiece. Consider replicating the work of great artists. A field or meadow may seem like a challenge, but think about how fantastic it will look when it’s complete!
This project will take some time, but the result will be outstanding. Change your artwork seasonally or monthly to keep your customers curious about what the next mural will be.

]]>Maybe the idea of an entire wall covered in chalkboard wallpaper throws you for a loop. That’s okay. Most people have to ease into the idea to see how it works with the rest of the aesthetic inside the room. Consider going with a framed chalkboard wall first.
A light wooden frame surrounding the chalkboard works best. It doesn’t take up the entire wall, but it’s big enough to grab the attention of anyone who walks by. Place the frame in whatever room you feel works best. It could be in a home office for scheduling. Or you could situate it inside a restaurant with an inspirational quote across the board.
The great thing about chalkboard wallpaper is you don’t need to write across it. The background works for all purposes. Feel free to use the wallpaper as a base for a gallery of pictures. Instead of placing a collage of photos across a white canvas, the chalkboard adds a special touch.
The dark coloring starkly contrasts with the framed photos, allowing them to stand out even more. Display all sorts of images on the surface. Giant lettering to spell out a message works well displayed on this wallpaper.
The doorway of residential and commercial properties rarely receives any decoration. But the eyes wander everywhere, and when people enter and exit an establishment, they’ll see the doorway. A framed chalkboard doorway is the perfect place to display quotes.
Consider adding a few song lyrics or a brief history of the establishment. Or encourage customers to write a special note before leaving. Allowing them to place their mark inside will bring in plenty of business.
Place cut-out squares in the structure of a calendar. Write down upcoming events and tasks you need to complete for specific days. You can tap into your organizational skills and creativity. Chalkboard paint can go on the squares, which means you can write and rewrite each day’s activities.
You’ll be sure to space out everything evenly. This idea works well for homes and businesses. At Chalk Ink, we have vinyl chalkboard paper sheets for this look. All these chalkboard wallpaper trends for 2023 are possible with our supplies. If you want more information, visit our website.

]]>The short answer is yes, you can use chalk markers on whiteboards. Liquid chalk is erasable on any nonporous surface, which is any surface not permeable to water, air, or other fluids. Therefore, chalk markers work perfectly on dry-erase boards.
Now for the longer answer: where to start. Before you begin writing or drawing, give the whiteboard a good cleaning with soap and water. Remove any previous writing and dust from the surface so nothing blends with the ink from the chalk markers. Then, give the board time to dry off.
Once the board is dry, you can write on it with chalk markers as you would with any other marker. The difference is the ink will have a chalk-like appearance, much like chalk on a chalkboard. Also, you won’t have to worry about smudges or faded writing, as the ink comes out smooth and dries quickly.
The ink quality will make all the difference in the end results. We suggest using the original Chalk Ink® markers for the highest-quality ink, more color choices, and access to experts in anything liquid-chalk art related.
Cleaning chalk ink off whiteboards is simple; just wipe off the ink with a cloth, using an ammonia-based cleaner (like Windex®) or Chalk Ink® Cleaner. You won’t need a lot of liquid on the cloth; a small amount should do the trick.
At Chalk Ink®, we love helping our customers see the potential of Chalk Ink® markers, especially when they ask if they can use them on whiteboards and other surfaces. For more information or to buy chalk markers in bulk, browse our website!
]]>For those who want a crystal-clear finish to their chalk marker art, using a clear coat of acrylic is a great option. When applying the clear coat, you should remember that less is best. Only apply three thin coats of sealer if you’re sealing the artwork on a porous surface. However, if you’re applying it to a non-porous surface, one thin coat of acrylic will get the job done.
Gently spraying regular or alcohol-free hairspray over the chalkboard art is another way to seal your chalk marker drawings. This will help protect your art from getting smudged or accidentally erased. Working with hairspray is best for those with younger children or who are highly sensitive to fumes. You can safely use this inside, and it’s easy to clean up when it’s time to erase your artwork.
Protect your art with a clear fixative spray. However, fixative sprays have a reputation for shifting colors to some degree, but they keep your artwork from smudging or flaking. Once you’ve sprayed this onto your artwork, there’s no such thing as reworking the art or making changes—the art is stuck in place. Be sure to be generous when you use it to have an easier time cleaning it off.
Another way you can seal your chalk marker drawings is by using Mod Podge matte spray. This non-toxic spray is safe on all surfaces, and you can spray it anywhere—indoors and outdoors. The best thing about using Mod Podge is that you don’t have to worry about the sealant creating a yellowish film over your artwork. Instead, this sealant leaves your beautiful art looking shiny and glimmering.
Protect your artwork and create more using our waterproof chalk markers and accessories. We’re always excited to see the beautiful artwork created with our pigmented and high-quality colors. Chalk Ink is the number one choice for all your chalk needs! Check out our online store for more.
]]>Don’t go cheap when it comes to supplies. You need high-quality chalk markers to produce the best results. The markers need to be up to the job because you don’t want to deal with running chalk markers.
Cheap markers will cause that, and you’ll need to constantly wipe the board to clear the excessive mess. The letters will start to smudge as well. Get some good-quality markers so that you don’t run into any of these problems.
Chalkboard markers come in various sizes. They can be as small as .5mm (extra fine) and as large as 15mm (bold). However, for most boards, it’s best to go with a medium-sized marker. A 6mm (chisel tip) type is the most common one. The 15mm markers look great but are a little harder to control on smaller boards.
Use 1mm markers for smaller boards or letters that require thin and fine lettering. Plan a layout of the words and images you want to write on the board. Use a ruler to perfect the measurements and evenly space out the sentences and images.
Prime and prep all the supplies you plan to use. Aside from getting your markers together, you need to wipe down the board and remove any previous residue. Old markings could mix in with the current liquid chalk marker and distort the message and image.
Don’t pump the nibs of the markers too much because that’ll soak the tips. Too much pumping could cause the markers to leak and drip on the board, even if they’re high quality. Shake the pen vertically a few times, then press down firmly on the board when ready to use.
Never retrace the letters. You might get the urge to retrace when the first try gets messed up. However, going over the words again will only further enhance the mistakes.
Instead, write slowly the first time and don’t rush. Set aside enough time to finish the task without getting interrupted. If some mistakes still appear, you can fix them after the first application dries.
Speaking of drying, that’s our final tip. Let the letters and images dry completely. It won’t take much time for them to finish. Most chalk markers complete a drying cycle in about 60 seconds.
Then you can add shading into the mix. Never use a different color of chalk on another. Even if you use adhesive labels to perfect the letters, you want to allow for plenty of drying time.
At Chalk Ink®, we have every tip and trick you need to perfect your messages and chalkboard lettering for customers to review. For more information, visit our website.
]]>And it’s even better when you change up the message and use it to provide updates. Make the message eye-catching and find some inspiration for creative holiday chalkboard art.
Every holiday comes with its own catchphrase and common theme. Common ground is your friend in these situations. You want to cast a net to a wide audience and send out a message they’re sure to recognize.
You can write a new catchphrase on the board every day or even turn it into a joke. Everyone loves a good pun. The best jokes are the ones people need to reread. Once they get the punchline, they’ll appreciate its cleverness, and it puts a smile on their face.
Most holidays come with a mythical creature. Kids hear the stories and fairytales all their lives, and the adults remember them. Don’t be afraid to get your Picasso on. You want to entice people to enter your establishment.
An image says more than most words can. Add some colorful imagery to go with the holiday theme. And if you happen to be approaching a holiday that doesn’t have character, make one up. After the Easter Bunny, you’re pretty much free to use your imagination for Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Maybe it will be a flag as a superhero!
Every holiday has its own traditions. These traditions bring strangers together from all over. For example, everyone in the U.S. knows about the fireworks tradition on the Fourth of July.
Ask customers to share their favorite holiday traditions. Write the question on the board, and invite people inside to share their favorites with you at the register. Add an incentive and offer a special prize for sharing a story. It could be as simple as a free drink with their meal.
Introduce some new holiday traditions but make them specific to your establishment. There’s something unique about your place of business. Here’s your chance to show off that uniqueness on some chalkboard wallpaper.
Try out a few different ideas and see which ones customers really respond to. That’s the winner right there, and that’s the tradition to keep going. Whenever that holiday comes around next, customers will know exactly what to expect from you.
Here at Chalk Ink, we’re all about holiday creativity and inspiration, especially when it comes to creating chalkboard art. For more information, visit our website.
]]>Some ceramic dishes already have designs and patterns; others are completely blank. Those blank ones are the dishes you want—more space for your creative expressions.
You don’t want to deal with a clashing style or try to acclimate to what’s already there. A clear, blank surface is always preferable because the creative design possibilities are endless. Inspect the surface and make sure there are no scuffs or scrapes.
If the ceramic plates have been in storage, then you must thoroughly wash them. Remove all dust and residue before applying the chalk ink.
Leftover dirt could mix with the ink’s chemicals and ruin the design you plan to create. It could also make for a difficult and bumpy surface. Wipe away all water spots and allow the plate to dry before proceeding.
Here comes the fun part. Collect a variety of chalk markers. You want to ensure the ones you select work will the current project. At Chalk Ink, we have fine-tip chalk markers that do an amazing job on ceramic plates. They’re perfect for precision work and detailing your designs. They offer finesse and subtlety.
What’s the purpose of this project? Do you want to create conversational pieces for your home? Is this a creative arts project you’re doing with your kids? Figure out the purpose behind the project. It will help you choose a design.
Maybe you plan to arrange the dishes to display a series of events unfolding. Deciding on a pattern will also help you decide how big or small you need the dishes to be. You may need different sizes to complete the illusion.
Finally, let the chalk markers dry. If there are some smudges you’d like to clean up around the design or picture, use an antibacterial wipe.
You don’t want to use a rag because that could create a mess and ruin the entire pattern. Set the dishes in an area where children and pets can’t reach. After a few hours, the plates should be ready to display.
We have plenty of guides for using chalk markers on household items besides ceramic dishes. Visit our website for more information.
]]>Move over welcome mats. Say hello to the welcome boards. After your guests wipe their feet and you take their coats, give them something to look at aside from your smiling face. Place a beautifully designed welcome message on the board so that whoever enters feels your hospitality immediately.
The chalkboard wallpaper needs to be near the front entrance. A foyer or long hallway are great locations. On their way to the entertainment area, they’ll see the message. Feel free to change it up for every occasion. You may even want to write some funny or inspirational quotes.
Above the fireplace is not the only location you need to have a family portrait. Granted, using chalk does limit the likelihood of the image, but it still gets the message across about the main characters inside the home.
Since it’s more of a fun family portrait, consider placing the wallpaper along a big wall in the kitchen or even the entertainment room. Hire a professional who works with chalk supplies to draw you and your family in the most organic way possible. Don’t be afraid to let some personalities shine through.
A full household means constant movement and activities going on. The chalkboard wallpaper doesn’t need to only serve aesthetic purposes. You may also need it to remind you of a few things from time to time. Place to-do lists, daily schedules, and reminders on the board.
You may need to place the wallpaper in more than one room. The kitchen isn’t the only place you need to remind yourself. Maybe the kid’s playroom needs the wallpaper too. It could help teach them about being organized and mindful of their responsibilities.
We remember chalkboards from our school days. Let’s not forget they’re excellent learning tools. Place the wallpaper in a location where the kids study and you get work done. Your home office and the kids’ homework spot are great locations.
If, at any point, you want to remove the adhesive chalkboard wallpaper, it shouldn’t be a problem. Here at Chalk Ink, our wallpaper can come down without damaging your walls. Just make sure you follow our guidelines for applying.
Interior design projects are so much fun, especially when you’re using chalkboard wallpaper. For more information, visit our website.
]]>If you’re planning on using the spray paint on a wooden or glass surface, you’ll need to sand it first. Never attempt to use chalkboard spray paint on a bumpy surface.
If the surface is not smooth, you won’t get the results you want. Instead, you could damage your items. Wipe away the dust from the sanding with a dry rag before applying the paint.
Apply tape to anything you don’t plan to paint. You could also use a cover like newspaper to protect the rest of the object. Make sure you’re using painter’s tape that’s a different color than the paint.
If you use a newspaper or an old sheet, secure the covering to the surface. You wouldn’t want it to move and accidentally spray a portion of the item you didn’t want to decorate.
Never paint anything without adding a layer of primer first. Chalkboard paints are no different. Spray a paint primer over the surface. Some specialists might tell you to use any primer, but ask your provider if there is a designated primer for chalkboard paint.
Buy enough primer to cover the entire surface. Don’t attempt to use the chalkboard spray paint until the primer is dry. It shouldn’t take long to dry—about 30 minutes.
Now comes the fun part! Take your can of chalkboard spray paint and spray the paint over the primer. Cover the entire surface and allow the paint to dry thoroughly.
The drying time depends on the paint’s thickness and the weather conditions (if you’re painting outside). At Chalk Ink, we can offer you timing recommendations so you know how long to wait before your next attempt.
Check the surface to ensure it’s dry. Lightly sand the dry chalkboard and wipe the dust away with a rag. Spray another coat onto the surface and allow 72 hours of drying time.
Finally, lay a piece of chalk on the board and rub it in thoroughly. This will condition the surface and ensure you applied it correctly. Wipe away the chalk and remove the painter’s tape. Now, you’re ready to decorate and design whatever you want!
We’re all about using chalkboard spray paint on the most unlikely places, including household items. For more information, visit our website.
]]>First things first, you need to clean your vehicle’s windows. Writing with chalk markers on a dirty vehicle will be less effective and damage the marker, as the marker will collect dirt that will form a layer over the tip. If this happens, any message you write will be traced with grime.
To properly clean your vehicle, you can always take it through an automotive car wash, but handwashing is usually best. Automotive car washes can scratch or dent your car, creating an uneven drawing surface. As you hand wash your car, pay close attention to the windows and carve out plenty of time for the car to dry.
Don’t mix mediums when writing on your car windows; chalk markers are all you need. People often use shoe polish to write on car windows, but it is difficult to remove, as soap and water don’t work. Furthermore, shoe polish could potentially damage your windows. Instead, stick to safe, bold, easily erasable chalk markers.
All great things must come to an end. You won’t want your chalk design to stay on forever, especially if you want to update the message at some point.
However, the removal method for chalk-marker writing depends on the type of chalk markers you used. For water-based chalk markers, use a clean razor blade to scrape the paint off the glass. Then, use a microfiber cloth to wipe away the chalk as you scape it away. Don’t let residue build up on the razor. Finally, use a mixture of water and detergent to fully clean and wipe away the chalk.
For oil-based markers, clean your windows with a water and detergent mixture. Then, use acetone to clear any remaining ink. Make sure you wear rubber gloves before applying the acetone to the windows. Lastly, use a cloth to wipe away the residue.
Now that you know the basics of writing on car windows with chalk markers, you can get creative with your car! For all your chalk marker needs, Chalk Ink has you covered. We sell every kind of marker you need to decorate your car, including white chalk paint pens. For more information, browse our website or contact us today!
]]>Grid drawing allows you to improve your accuracy without compromising your artwork. The grid works as a reference point between the photo and your canvas. This will help you position your subject and keep your artwork proportionate. Creating a large-scale piece can be hard without a grid or point of reference, so make your life easier by trying out the grid method.
Layering your colors can take your project to the next level. This will help you use various techniques that you couldn’t with only one marker. When using a chalk marker, it’s important to let the chalk ink dry before adding your next layer. This will keep colors from mixing.
One of the biggest secrets to creating large-scale chalk designs is adding details. The best thing about working with chalk as an art medium is that there are many different types of chalk. Chalk markers offer various tip sizes, colors, and finishes to give your artwork your desired effect. Whether you choose jumbo chalk markers or fine-point gold chalk markers, you can add any detail you need.
After you’ve created the main bulk of your art piece, you can add smaller details and a background to your design. The key is to clean up the chalkboard surface and add black chalk (or whatever color your background is) to make your piece the spotlight. Your background should complement the subject unless you plan to create an entire landscape. This step will help your art piece stand out and look three-dimensional.
At Chalk Ink, we want to help bring your creativity and imagination to life. Whether you’re an up-and-coming artist or a teacher looking for fun activities, we can provide color and uniqueness to your everyday routine. From creating lists to solving math problems to drawing a mural, we have all the chalk markers and accessories you need to make it a success.

]]>Here are a few creative uses for chalkboard paper around the house.
Sometimes, our kitchen pantry can get disorganized, especially after a large grocery haul. However, you can keep your pantry neat and aesthetically pleasing by using chalkboard paper to create labels. Labeling your containers or jars for sugar, flour, rice, herbs, and seasonings will make cooking easier.
Are you looking for your next DIY project? Well, look no further. You can use chalkboard paper to create picture frames! Stick the contact chalk paper on top of an old or thrifted picture frame. After placing the paper, you can write and decorate it to your liking. Use calligraphy or other cool fonts to add flair to your home .
If you have little ones who need help with homework or who have creative minds, create a wall in their bedroom solely for drawing and working out math or science problems. Make your child’s homework more enjoyable by using brightly colored chalk and encouraging them to use their imagination. When school isn’t in session, they can use the chalk wall to create lists or draw their little hearts out without worrying about messing up the paint on the walls.
Say goodbye to missing appointments, being late, or forgetting the milk at the store. Use chalkboard paper in your kitchen or dining area to create to-do lists and keep track of important dates, such as recitals, appointments, and meetings. This will help keep your life organized, and you will feel more in control of your responsibilities—all in bright chalk marker colors.
]]>Acrylic paint markers, also known as paint pens or paint markers, are great creative tools and are easy to use if you’re making simple art pieces. Paint markers are known for vibrant colors that easily and thoroughly cover large areas. You also can use these markers on both non-porous and porous surfaces.
However, paint markers typically have flat tones, and these markers dry very fast. This makes it difficult to blend colors or create more complex work. Paint markers are also difficult to erase if you make a mistake, which can be inconvenient. Therefore, acrylic markers are a good choice if you’re mainly working on basic calligraphy or working in a creative journal.
Liquid chalk markers are a wonderful medium that offers vibrant colors, various finishes such as metallic and neon, and different nib sizes for extra detailing. Whether a parent, business owner, teacher, or artist, wet chalk pens are a great tool for expressing your creativity through calligraphy, detailed pictures, signs, menus, and more. These markers are also non-toxic, making them safe for children to use as well.
Although chalk markers also dry fast, there are methods for blending colors, such as using water or combining while the ink is still wet. Chalk markers are a semi-permanent medium that you can easily erase with soap and water.
The main difference between chalk markers and paint markers is that paint markers are permanent, while chalk markers are semi-permanent with more color choices and finishes. Although paint markers are a popular choice, chalk markers are a convenient choice. Ultimately, finding the right medium largely depends on your project.
If you’re interested in taking your artwork to the next level, check out all our wet chalk pens and chalkboard accessories at Chalk Ink! We love seeing teachers, business owners, and art enthusiasts show off their skills using our markers.

]]>Chalk markers are a great way to add an extra flair to your artwork. Whether using chalk markers for home decor, personal crafting, or marketing, here’s what to expect when using semi-permanent chalk markers and how you can benefit from them.
Chalk markers aren’t only for chalkboards. You can use these markers on glass, metal, ceramic, whiteboards, plastic, varnished wood, and other non-porous surfaces. You can even use chalk markers on porous surfaces for a more permanent effect. Due to the number of writing surfaces, chalk markers also come in many different sizes. From thick to thin, you can find any size you’re looking for.
Semi-permanent chalk markers come in many colors, ranging from pastel hues to jewel tones to neon shades. You can choose any unique shade to make your artwork vivid! Chalk markers also come in many different finishes, such as matte and metallic—all of which are available in a wide variety of colors.
One of the best qualities of chalk markers is that they offer a beautiful finish without the powdery residue that traditional markers leave.

Allowing children to expand their creativity using more than crayons or colored pencils is a great way to foster a love of art in children. They’re discovering a new way to produce more vivid and opaque artwork using chalk markers. With these markers, they can bring their artwork to life with the different tip sizes—so your students can add as much detail as they’d like.

The best thing about chalk markers is that kids can use them on any surface, both indoors and outdoors. Of course, chalk markers work better on non-porous materials, but they still work fine on porous materials. The kids can write on glass, metal, plastic, and more!
Another reason why kids should write with chalk markers is that they’re washable! If a student gets a chalk marker on their T-shirt or skin, don’t worry! It will easily wash off with soap and water. The same goes for other surfaces. All you need to do to clean the chalk marker is use warm water and soap.

Chalk markers can come in many colors and are semi-permanent, so you don’t have to worry about accidentally erasing your creations. If you’re looking for ways to add more color and organization to your nursery, here’s how you can create your dream nursery with chalk markers.
Once you have children, storage becomes a priority, and this is especially true when decorating spaces. However, it would be best to keep storage bins and jars organized by creating labels. By using adhesive chalk labels, you can keep your baby’s items neatly organized and easy to find.
You can get creative with the labels by drawing small pictures or labeling the tags with different fonts. However, ensure that you can still easily read the labels.
Babies grow so fast that sometimes it’s hard to keep up. You can keep up by creating a baby milestone board with fine-tip chalk markers. On this milestone board, you can document their age, weight, height, likes, dislikes, and the firsts they’ve done. On this board, you can also note how many teeth have come in or any other information you want to document!
Create the nursery of your and your child’s dream by saving one wall for doodling. You can transform one wall into a giant chalkboard for when your child gets older, and the nursery turns into a big kid room. This allows your child to draw on the walls without ruining paint or furniture. Or you can create a chalk wall using chalk wallpaper. Provide your kids with chalk markers and let their imaginations run wild.
With chalk markers, you can do anything. Create the nursery of your dreams using chalk markers to make the room colorful, creative, and organized. Chalk Ink has all the supplies you need to ensure that you create the best creative space for you and your child.
]]>If you’ve never applied removable wallpaper before, we’ve got you covered. All you need is a pair of scissors and measuring tape to complete this task. However, there are some common mistakes people make when applying this adhesive wallpaper. Keep reading as we walk you through the dos and don’ts of cutting and applying chalkboard wallpaper.
Like any other wallpaper, you must prepare your walls before application. Make sure your walls are smooth before applying. Fill in holes and sand down bumps to eliminate any texture that could prevent your wallpaper from sticking.
It also helps to clean your walls with warm water, soap, and vinegar. You’ll want your walls to be spotless, smooth, and thoroughly dry before applying the wallpaper.
Allow your creativity to run free and apply chalkboard wallpaper anywhere you like. Don’t limit yourself to only applying on the walls. You can transform your coffee table into a conversation piece. Or you can place chalkboard wallpaper beneath some chair railing to accent the room. You can transform anything into a unique feature with the correct measurements and a pair of scissors.
Before applying your wallpaper, you must measure the surface to know much wallpaper you need. You don’t want too little or too much because it could complicate the application process. Although chalkboard wallpaper is easily removable, it can get tiresome—removing and reapplying over and over. To prevent sore arms, measure your surface carefully and cut accordingly. To make this process easier, Chalk Ink provides various sizes of pre-cut chalkboard paper, so you’re not stuck with too much or too little.
A common mistake new crafters make is not removing the transfer tape on the back of the wallpaper. The transfer tape is a barrier to prevent the adhesive underneath from sticking to everything but the chosen surface.
After preparing your surface and cutting your wallpaper, stick a corner of the chalkboard wallpaper to the surface—making sure it’s straight. Then, press down gently and remove the tape at a 45 degree angle. While removing the tape, keep pressing down firmly to prevent air bubbles.
Now that you know the dos and don’ts of cutting and applying removable chalkboard wallpaper, you’re ready to apply it yourself! Use Chalk Ink’s removable and environmentally friendly chalkboard wallpaper to create eye-catching wall accents or the ultimate playroom.
]]>There’s nothing better than walking into a business establishment that has elements that differ from the others. Creating an eye-catching chalk menu can attract more customers and make the working experience more enjoyable for the employees. You should always have a menu board to help inform your customers of the products, goods, and promotional deals. However, you can display this information more colorfully and creatively.
You don’t need a lot of materials to create a chalk menu board. To create one, you need erasable white chalk markers and a chalkboard surface. However, if you want to go the extra mile, you need more colorful chalk markers, a pencil, a ruler, and a chalkboard surface. You can create a striking menu board with planning, creativity, and just a few materials.
Creating a menu board for your business takes three easy steps:
Whether your kid is attending their first day of kindergarten or the first day of their senior year, capturing these milestones and memories of starting school is a must. A great first day of school sign should incorporate your child’s name, age, grade, and date. Keep reading to learn how to create your own sign that you can reuse every school year.
Before you start designing your sign, you should consider the following:
Those factors above will help you determine how many boards you need and how much material and tools you need to complete the sign. If you have multiple children, you might want to use a reusable surface like a chalkboard or whiteboard to have the ability to erase and customize for each child. If your child is older, you might want to create a sign that reflects their style—and ask them to help contribute to the sign’s design!
When creating your child’s sign, allow your creativity to run wild. You can use any art supplies, from paints to markers to crayons, to create a reusable sign. A popular way parents create the first day of school sign is by using chalk paint and erasable white chalk markers to make a chalkboard that you can erase and reuse for every school year.
You can use any tools and materials for your sign, but the main tools you need are:
Feel free to use any colors you’d like for the markers and paints. There is no wrong choice here.
Now that you’ve purchased your materials and tools, it’s time to create your own reusable first day of school sign! Follow these steps to help you through the planning and designing process.
We recommend you plan out your sign rather than freehand your design to ensure you properly utilize your space. Using your ruler and a sheet of paper, you can determine how big your words can be and other design elements. This is time to plan your sections, fonts, designs, colors, etc.
You should include your child in this process to give them input regarding colors, stickers, or other embellishments they want on their sign.
After measuring each section, planning your design, and making small changes, you’re ready to sketch. If you’re creating a chalkboard sign, this is the time to paint your surface with chalkboard paint and allow it to dry thoroughly. Transfer your plan onto the board using light strokes of your chalk marker, pencils, or paint when the paint dries.
While sketching your design on the board, don’t worry about the small details! You will be able to add them after the main sketch.
Once you’ve sketched your design onto your board, you can add colors and fine details. You don’t want to embellish the sign too much because the primary focus should be on “[child’s name] First Day Of [grade].” To avoid overcrowding the sign, try to add small designs or stickers like their favorite sports or subjects in each corner, or flowers and hearts—anything that shows your child’s personality and interests.
It’s time to pose for the camera. Use a chalk marker to add the current information on your sign, take a picture with your child holding it, and wipe it off for the next year! You won’t regret capturing these moments and watching them grow through the camera lens. You can reuse this sign from kindergarten to their final year of high school (and college too!)
Do you still need inspiration for your child’s first day of school sign? We got you covered. Here are a few first-day-of-school sign ideas to help you get a vision for the upcoming school year.
If you’re feeling extra creative, you can create a first and last day of school sign. You can capture your child's beginning and end of the school year with both signs. You can get a great side-by-side comparison of how your child grew or changed in nine months! Maybe they got braces or a new haircut; you will capture these loving moments.
Instead of a sign, you can create a journal that documents your child’s teacher, grade, what they want to be when they grow up, and their favorite part of the day. This is the ultimate creative project for you and your child to enjoy. Your child can express themselves through drawings and stickers. You’ll see your child’s interests and aspirations change throughout the years.
You can use a letter board to help create the first day of school sign. You can make fun memos that correspond with their first day of school and the grade they’re heading into. This is still a great reusable sign option and is used for other school-related events like competitions, proms, and graduation.
Celebrate your children and their education milestones by remembering their first days with a reusable sign. Take the time to create this sign to help track so many precious memories and pictures down the line. If you need a chalkboard sign or chalk markers to help you make your first day of school signs, check out our wide selection of chalk paints, markers, paper, and boards!
]]>Chalk sticks and liquid chalk markers don't come from the same materials, chalk markers are liquid and semi-permanent, which means it may take a little more than a dry eraser to erase your previous artwork.
Here are five hacks for removing liquid chalk markers from any surface to help erase your artwork and prepare your surface for future art.
Chalkboards and blackboards are the classic surfaces for chalk and chalk markers because they’re made of wood or slate. These materials are porous, which means they absorb liquid materials, and removing chalk markers from the surface can be challenging. It’s essential to know if your blackboard surface is non-porous, as removing the ink from the surface will be much easier.
To erase your artwork from a blackboard, place the damp cloth on your artwork for about five minutes to help lift the colors. After waiting, you can clean the surface until all the ink is gone.
Windex is a glass surface cleaner that’s also great for cleaning chalk markers on windows, wine glasses, and mirrors. With the help of Windex, you can get rid of any stain or ghosting on your surface. The key to cleaning chalk marker off glass surfaces is to allow the Windex to sit on the surface for five minutes and gently wipe off your artwork.
A magic eraser is a great tool that can remove chalk markers from any surface. This tool can remove any marks, smudges, or ink from any surface, including all chalk surfaces. A magic eraser can thus work on boards, walls, coasters, etc. Magic erasers are inexpensive and reusable, and with a bit of water, you can quickly erase your artwork with minimal ghosting. For more stubborn pigments, try using a specially formulated chalkboard cleaner with the Magic Eraser.
Since wood is a porous surface, removing chalk markers can be tricky. It will take time, effort, and a perfect mix of water and vinegar to remove your artwork from this surface successfully. Depending on the size of the painting, you’ll need to mix about four cups of water with one cup of vinegar.
Instead of spraying the solution onto the artwork, dip a cloth into the mix. Then, gently wipe the wooden surface in a circular motion to help remove all the ink—even in the cracks.
You can remove your artwork with a soapy solution if you have a metal tumbler or any other metal surface. Using a less harsh liquid soap would be best to ensure your surface or paints won’t get damaged. You want to prepare a mixture of warm water and soap in equal parts. Spray this solution on your surface and rub the chalk marker off with a sponge.
When choosing your chalk markers, keep your desired project outcome in mind. The quality of pigments, ink flow and color opacity make a huge difference in your finished projects. If these things are not important for the project you're working on, there are a number of inexpensive options in the market. If quality and performance are important to you, choose a reputable liquid chalk marker brand, which is focused on quality, non-toxic pigments and offers customer advice on the use of their products.
]]>These days, chalkboards and chalk come in many different sizes and forms.

You can use chalkboard paper at weddings as table cards or decorations. Chalkboard contact paper allows you to add creativity to everyday items, which can be fun and help add fun to “boring” topics or responsibilities.
If you have children who love to draw over your walls, you can create a chalkboard wall in their room or play area to avoid sacrificing your walls or furniture.

]]>Wedding signs add a personal touch to your ceremony and reception. These signs are vital because they welcome your guests, help direct them to the appropriate locations, and share menu and drink options. Overall, they help communicate to your guests while you’re busy taking pictures, mingling, and enjoying your day. The signage at your wedding allows you to think outside the box and add a unique element to your wedding day.
What if we told you that you could create your own wedding signage using chalk markers? With the inspiration you’ve seen on wedding blogs, Instagram, and Pinterest, you can create eye-catching and aesthetically pleasing wedding signs! With a great team of friends, creativity, and patience, you can make the same wedding signs you saw on Etsy for a fraction of the price.
Unfortunately, signage is one of the most forgotten details when wedding planning. It’s a shame because there are so many ways you can show your and your partner’s personality through signage. There are no right and wrong choices when it comes to wedding signage, and what you choose is a personal choice. Ask yourself, “What do I want my guest to know?”
Wedding signage presents the opportunity to be as creative, funny, informative, or sappy as you want to be. Signage can add color and style to bleak spaces and give you a chance to experiment with different surfaces. You can create signs out of posters, prints, chalkboards, wood, mirrors, LED lights, and more!
A popular wedding signage choice among millennials is to create rustic DIY signs out of chalkboards. Chalkboard signs are a unique way to display instructions or directions to your guests. Decorating the board with an elegant font and adorning it with illustrations and greenery can take your signage up a notch. Countertop chalkboard easels are popular at the bar for cocktail hour to help you display your drinks menu.
As you begin to figure out your ideal signage, it’s essential to consider your signs’ materials, size, quantity, and location. Before finalizing your decision, ask yourself the following:
Every sign will require a unique amount of attention or tools and will factor into your project’s overall cost. You should consider each sign’s lettering, display method, and material base. To help keep costs down, you should survey the supplies you already have and repurpose them into wedding signage.
There are many places to put your signs during your wedding. However, here are the prominent types of signage you should include in your wedding. Your wedding signs should inform your guests where to go or what to do.
The entrance to your wedding should be breathtaking and welcoming. Your welcome sign should include the wedding couple’s name, date, and a fun hashtag for social media posting. Also, it should show your personality and creative tastes that correlate with the overall theme. Your welcome signage should reflect whether your style is soft, rustic, bold, or modern.
Your reception is the event where you can celebrate and let loose a little. Receptions will call for more signage than your wedding ceremony. You need a sign for card boxes, guest books, or reception games. These additional signs don’t have to be as big as your welcome signs and don’t have to be as instructional. Your signs for the reception can be more focused on aesthetics. It’s important to note that all your signs don’t have to match. You can mix and match styles while still staying on “theme.”
Your cocktail menu is solely there for beauty and functionality. The sign will help your bartenders narrow the options while cutting your bill at the night’s end. These signs will guide your guests on which cocktails they can order and what flavors to expect.
Although escort cards can be elegant and luxurious, they can be wasteful and expensive. Instead, you can place a seating chart at your wedding reception entrance or smaller signs on each table directing where guests can sit. Each table number can be unique while staying on theme. It’s about having fun, being creative, and showing your personality through the small details.
After all that information, you’re ready to learn how to create your wedding signage using chalk markers. It’s important to know that chalk markers have the best results on non-porous surfaces, such as metals, chalkboards, plastics, or glass. However, you still use chalk markers on porous surfaces, but the results are permanent and not as bright in color.
If the frame around your sign isn’t up to your standard, you can transform it by re-painting or re-staining it. You should tape off the frame and protect the middle of the board with a large sheet of paper or newspaper. Use light and even coats to ensure that your frame doesn’t have paint drips.
Tip: You should sand the frame before painting to have a smooth surface.
A rule of thumb before using chalk markers is that you should clean your surface before drawing. If you don’t, it could result in seeing pictures or marks left over from past projects. Wipe your surface with soap and water to remove any markings or drawings. After cleaning, take the painter’s tape off and prepare the design.
Now we’re on to the fun part! But, before you begin designing your wedding signage, you should draw multiple drafts and practice rounds to get your hand and mind familiar with the strokes and techniques it takes to get to your desired look. Use your inspired looks from Pinterest, wedding blogs, and social media and make them your own! Use different fonts and design elements to make your signs look professional. Take your time and use your creative skills to create eye-catching wedding signage.
