Trust me, If I can teach myself how to make a chalkboard printable you most definitely can too.
First you need a chalkboard background.
I found this great one.
Remember to "right click" and save it to your computer!
Here are the ones I used for the printable at the top of this post:
Nymphette
strawberry limeade
mtf sweet dings
speedball no3
a song for jennifer
All of the fonts are FREE from www.dafont.com
Once you have downloaded and installed the fonts, open your blank chalk background in your photo editing program.
I used photoshop elements 10. If you don't have photoshop you can download a free trial version here.
Then decide what you want to type, and start typing!
As you can see I played with a couple of new fonts and added some wingdings to get it just the way I liked it.
Now its ready to print!
Just print it onto regular computer paper, trim off the white edges and frame it.
Told you it was easy....
That's a great tutorial. Thanks for the chalkboard background and for linking up to the Get Inspired Weekend Blog Hop :)
