Supplies

1. Paint Lauan with chalkboard paint. This will need at least two coats of paint, so as soon as first layer is dry, apply a second.

​2. Stain all pine boards and let dry.

3. Once stain is dry, nail one 22" pine board to the other to create a ledge (example below).

4. Using the two corner braces, attach two of the 10" pine boards to the 21½" board to begin forming a frame.
