Easy Halloween Chalkboard Projects

Instead of carving it, paint a pumpkin with black chalkboard paint. Once the paint is dry, you can use your pumpkin to convey whatever message you want. If you’re planning to use chalk on your pumpkin instead of a chalk marker, rub the side of a piece of chalk over the entire pumpkin, then erase the chalk. This helps prime the paint surface and makes it easier to erase future chalk messages.

Buy any ornate picture frame and paint with black chalkboard paint. You can use brush on paint, but spray paint is more likely to deliver smooth, even coverage. Once the paint dries, write a spooky Halloween message on the glass with a piece of chalk, or use a white chalk marker to deliver a more permanent message. Want to capture an image on the glass but don’t feel confident in your art skills? Use a projector to project an image onto the frame’s surface, then use the marker to trace the picture.

A spooky wooden chair is exactly what you’re going to want when it’s time to sit on your front porch and greet trick or treaters. To prep your wooden chair, paint it with black chalkboard paint. If the chair was finished previously, don’t forget to sand off the old finish and then wash away the wood shavings. Once this is done, then the chair is ready to paint. For the finishing touches, use a white chalk marker to draw a spider and web on the side of your chair.
