1. Stencil it!  If you have a certain message or design in mind, you can probably find just the right stencil or create unique messages like mine by combining individual letter and word stencils--the stick-on varieties make it even easier. 

2. Instead of chalk, I use a white pencil. It's easier to use than chalk but still erases if you make a mistake or want to change the message.

This is such a fun way to personalize a space or gallery wall. The possibilities are endless--what will you stencil on your chalkboard?
