ERASERS go from dull to delightful by gluing scraps of vintage fabric, wallpaper, and old ads to the backs of standard erasers for retro appeal. Cheerful children's blocks are reinvented as erasers simply by gluing a piece of felt to one side.
TRANSFORM any object with a flat, smooth surface into a blackboard. Here, the Farm Chicks used a drawer, dustpan, and enamel bakeware, but you can make use of anything that strikes your fancy, such as an old mirror or a salvaged window.
APPLY two coats of paint using a small sponge applicator or roller, as the fibers in regular paintbrushes tend to leave behind streaks. Chalkboard paint comes in both liquid and spray versions. If you try the spray, be sure to cover the surrounding area carefully to prevent spatter.
