How To Make Your Own Sandwich Chalk Board (With Dad's Help!)

I wanted to put a chalk sandwich board outside my practice but was shocked to find that the smallest sandwich board cost €100 + VAT! So I decided make my own board which was easy peasy (with Dad's help!) If you would like to make your own, here is a step by step guide below;

1. You will need;

• A door hinge
• Two even pieces of  wood
• Chalk board paint (I bought this in B & Q for €10)
• Screwdriver
• Paintbrush
• Chalk

2. Using a Screwdriver, attach the door hinge to the top of one piece of wood, facing the hinge downwards, then attach the other piece of wood to the same hinge. You can also attach a chain to the boards, so it doesn't open too wide, but this is optional.

3. When the hinge is securely attached, stand the board upright, paint the board with the chalk board paint on both sides. It takes about 4 hours for the paint to dry.

4. Voila! Your chalk board is ready, you can use any colour chalk to write or draw on your board.
