Today we are making a simple blackboard for the monsters to happily draw on. We have a cheap old photo frame lying around somewhere, which comes in very handy now. It is also still available now at Ikea's, for a very reasonable price, in black or in white.

How to make your own handy blackboard

Stir the paint vigorously using a wooden stick.

Pour some paint into the paint tray and dip in your roller.
 

Roll of the excess paint by rolling over the ridges in the tray.

Apply a thin layer of paint onto the hardboard.

The yellow you see in the top corner on the right is the reflection of the sun in the paint :))

Allow the paint to dry well and paint on a second layer and after drying well again paint a third layer on top

Allow the paint to dry completely overnight.

Empty the picture frame and put in the hardboard.

Bend the metal strips firmly back.
