- Allow the paint to dry thoroughly.
- Then paint the frame of the chalkboard with four thin coats of paint.
- Allow this to dry overnight.
- Set the design up in the Cricut Design Space then opened the app on your iPad.
- Click here for the design template.
- Connect the iPad to the Bluetooth connection on the Cricut Explore Air.
- Cut the images, switching out the colors of the paper as needed.
- Once all the pieces of the design are cut out, glue the ones together that have backs.
- Use a glue stick to apply glue to the back of the cutouts then quickly press them onto the chalkboard.
