Take note

Make your to-do list pop with colour.

You need:

hardboard cut to the desired size (ask your timber merchant)
cornice
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint (colour Burgundy) and white PVA acrylic filler

1 Paint the hardboard and put it up in the spot you’ve chosen. If you attach it to wood (as we did) you can use a staple gun with long staples; otherwise drill holes in the wall and attach it with wall screws.

2 Use the cornice to frame your chalkboard. If it’s placed flush against a wall, you can use flat wooden skirting. Cut the 45° edges of the cornice with a mitre saw (or use a mitre box and handsaw) and join the different lengths with acrylic filler (or wood glue if you’re using wooden skirting).

3 Paint the frame and mount it around your chalkboard using the acrylic filler.
