A few months ago I made these chalkboard toy boxes for the littles. I fully expected the lettering to dissappear moments after taking this picture, but surprisingly they have stayed pretty much in tact. So much so that I have grown quite fond of them & wanted them to be permanent. Well who knew... all I needed was a can of hairspray! Just a quick few sprays & it is set. No more smudges. Just be prepared for the following...
- Your chalk design will fade when wet, but will come back vibrant once dry.
- Your house will smell like hairspray. (I hate hairspray! I think I was traumatized as a child... So much so that I have had the same can of hairspray since I met my husband 10 years ago. That is how often I use it.)
