little project...

I try to change out my chalkboard that I have hanging in my room, and I know i've showed it to ya'll before, but I did (somewhat of...) a "tutorial" on how I made mine for Christmas.

Warning: this has potential to be extremely confusing/boring. :)

"prime" your chalkboard. (ha)

this requires a wet rag.

grab your sidewalk chalk. 

(this came from Freds, but you can get it anywhere.)

I started at the top left corner with one circle. 

start from the outside of the circle & work your way inside to fill it in.

under that, add 2 more,

under 2, add three,

and so on...

on the smaller one, I started at the base of the top tree and made a smaller "ball",

filling them in the same way as you did the top.

you can make this tree as thick or thin as you'd like. I went with a smaller size for this one.

after that, make the base of your tree. I started out slim at the top, and I made the base a little thicker. 

write "Merry Christmas" or whatever you'd like.

Then, I filled in the boring areas with polka dots (yellow & white) and "stars" (that's such a loose term for whatever those are! Ha!)

Viola! 

;) 

also, I painted my nails today to "get in the spirit".

ignore my gross fingers. 

I used:

 Sally Hanson 07 Cherry Red

& Art Deco in Green.

I primed my nails & after-coated them with:

Sally Hanson Maximum Growth (clear coat)
