Revamp a serving board with chalkboard paint, then label your nibblies with chalk! - by Better Homes and Gardens

Chalkboard platter

Gather your supplies

• Timber serving board

• Dulux Duramax Magnetic Chalkboard spray paint

• Good quality painters tape

• Damp cloth

• Drop sheet or newspaper

Here’s how

Step 1 Cover areas of serving board not to be painted with painters tape. Wipe down exposed area of board with damp cloth to remove any dust and fingerprints.

Step 2 Spread out drop sheet or newspaper in a well-ventilated area, then place serving board on top.

Step 3 Apply 2–3 thin coats of spray paint. Let dry after each coat. Remove tape and discard.

Step 4 Write up the ingredients on your platter using white chalk. Serve ingredients in small bowls to prevent foods from marking the painted finish. Clean board with a damp cloth.

Psst… As the name suggests, Dulux Duramax Magnetic Chalkboard has magnetic properties which means it’s also ideal for applying to noticeboards and fun projects in kids’ play areas.
