For this gem of a Bollywood we created our own chalkboards, covered in bright beautiful colors, gem, and personalized with all of our guests names!

How To

Sand the edges of the wood if they are sharp and uneven. Using the painter’s tape, tape off the edges on the front of your board. Paint the center of your board with two coats of chalkboard paint, making sure to let the first coat dry completely before applying the second. Once the second coat of chalkboard paint is dry, carefully remove the painter’s tape. Use painter’s tape to line the outside edges of the chalkboard square. Paint the rest of the board with your favorite color of acrylic paint. Once the paint is dry, remove the tape and decorate. We were inspired by classic Indian henna designs for our chalkboards! Remember to let the chalkboard paint dry for at least 24 hours before drawing on it with chalk.
