Chalkboard markers are so versatile and work on many surfaces that their uses seem limitless! 

In our brochure, we showed you how to learn and hone your skills using our chalkboard markers and boards, but once you’ve got the hang of them, you might be looking to test out and play with your new medium. Artwork doesn’t have to be relegated to a flat surface with markers like these! 

Here are five ways that you can use your chalkboard markers:

Some artists specialize in creating stunning artworks to adorn shopfronts using chalkboard markers, and the results are breathtaking! We don’t know about you, but we would definitely walk into a store with a painted chalkboard mural even if we didn’t need anything.

Obviously, the chalk will run very quickly if it rains, so you need to apply the chalk on the inside of the window. Start with the black outlines and then fill in the spaces so you have a clean-looking artwork when you look at it from the front.

Don’t have a shopfront to decorate? Well, you have windows, don’t you?

Why not transform your space by creating some temporary artwork in your windows at home? We love decorating the bottom of our windows to look like flowers and grass growing from the frame in the summer. It's just a whimsical touch that makes every day a little bit more whimsical.

You don’t have to have a restaurant to make some chalkboard menu displays. These can be used for dinner parties, birthdays, weddings, and any other special occasion involving sitting down for a good meal. Since chalkboard markers don’t smudge when dry, you can prep these ahead of time without worrying that they’ll get ruined before they’re used. We like using A3 chalkboards, so you have plenty of space to write out the menu and decorate the edges according to your theme. There are so many shade options you should be able to find the perfect color combination to fit the vision.

If you ever had to write on the chalkboard at school, you’ll know how difficult it is to keep your writing neat, but the chalkboard markers give you the control to be able to execute your menu beautifully. One bonus of using chalk markers instead of a printed menu is you can simply erase it once the event is over and use the board for something else. That way, you can create more art, and there’s no unnecessary waste.

Typography can be used as a physical art form on its own that makes a significant impact on the style and emotion of the comic strip, so we encourage you to work with it and try something new.

I’m sure many of us remember having personalized signs on our childhood bedroom doors. Whether it says your name or ‘Keep out! No boys allowed!’ these signs gave us the opportunity to put a stamp on our space.

Why not give your children (or even roommates) the same experience by making some chalkboard door signs?

Chalk markers are the perfect medium to use for these signs because they can be wiped clean with a wet cloth and started fresh. You could make it a seasonal or yearly occasion for everyone to come together and design their door signs together or let the kids change them up whenever a new obsession takes hold. The 6x8 inch chalkboards in the box would be perfect for this!

We must admit, this is our favorite way to use chalk markers besides making actual art.

Organizing can be frustrating and tedious, but you can fix that by using chalk markers! You can use them to design pretty labels for your food jars or any other storage container. Not only will this make it easy to locate things, but the labels will make your cupboard look beautiful.

We especially like using chalk markers for our dry goods storage in our pantries. To make everything uniform, we recommend transferring your pasta, lentils, cous cous, etc., to glass jars before decorating them with gorgeous chalk marker labels.

This use takes full advantage of the fact that these chalkboard markers are erasable! It's fun to have set pieces of art in your house, but if, like us, you like to change things up regularly, then chalkboard art is perfect for you.

You can use a series of small boards or one big board for you to create your artwork, depending on the look you are going for and how ambitious your artistic urges are. You can also use any mirrors in your house as a canvas and draw some pretty designs around the edge that you change up whenever the mood takes you.

These little artworks are great ways to add pops of color throughout your home to bring it to life. You can change them up seasonally, monthly, weekly, or even daily! The chalk markers make it so easy to change your mind and create based on your mood and what aesthetic you’re particularly drawn to at the moment.
