I've never know all 5 tips before. Game changer!!

[billyndagriffith]

The bonus tip was my favorite.... Spit on your challboard. I never would have thought of that! 🤣🤣🤣

[unrulymuse]

I didn't know about sharpening chalk, seasoning the chalkboard OR chalk transfer. Hugely helpful!

[juanarrivillaga]

I knew none of the tips you just shared, all of them are game-changing ideas. thanks!!!!

[atanasiamandru]

Another helpful tip is for when you need to really clean your chalkboard : use a soft cloth or non scratch sponge, dampen it in vinegar and wipe away... repeat if necessary. At the end you will have a residue free, chalk free, streak free board

I literally LOVE ALL THE FIVE TIPS, you are amazing Becca ❤️

All of the tips were great and eye openers. The one that I was like duhhh was sharpening the chalk. 👏👏👏👏👏

Becca you are so funny and I love how you explain everything. Regarding your question… I didn’t know any of these tips as have never done chalkboard, but always wondered when I saw them at shops… now I know 😘

My favourite is the pencil eraser to make shadows. Thanks for all the tricks.

OMG!!! Just today someone asked me if I could write their menu on their new blackboard. Isn't it a serendipity or what??? Thank you sooo much, this is going to make my work much easier. I didn't know any of the tips but the sharpener one. Love you to the moon and back, Becca😁😘
