Does the canvas have something under it? I picture regular canvases stretched over a wood frame and imagine they would be hard to write on? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1981994 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 10:56:21 +0000 artsyfartsy 1981994@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: Theyre typically used for drawing! They're basically highly pigmented chalk. I use them a lot and I had them on hand when I didn't like how regular chalk turned out on my board so I used them. Much better! The colors are more vibrant and I can be more creative. </p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pastels-Drawing-Scrapbooking-Assorted-Colors/dp/B000BKYB2M" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Pastels-Drawing-Scrapbooking-Assorted-Colors/dp/B000BKYB2M</a></p> <p>They also last forever. I'm still using the same palette I bought 3 years ago and I'm no where near needing to buy another. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1981946 Fri, 12 Dec 2014 10:25:55 +0000 LindsayInNY 1981946@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Danizaur: What are those?? I've seen/heard of the chalk markers but not pastels! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980961 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 17:40:25 +0000 artsyfartsy 1980961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use chalk pastels for my chalkboard. The color is more intense and has more variety than standard chalk. It comes off easily with a wet paper towel! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980869 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 16:45:48 +0000 LindsayInNY 1980869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@loki: Ooh, I'll have to check that thread! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980605 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 14:02:40 +0000 Smurfette 1980605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: yes! We bought this from Ikea and used chalkboard spray paint. Hung it up and LO draws on it all the time. Use a water paper towel to clean it and looks new again.<br /> <a href="http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10159443/" rel="nofollow">http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/10159443/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980593 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:57:27 +0000 loki 1980593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@avivoca: yes agreed i thought they looked so good but heard horror stories about them! regular old chalk works for me. and i find dipping it in water and then writing makes for nice crisp letters! there are some pics of the one i made in the April Baby Bump thread if you're interested in seeing the canvas etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980576 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:49:14 +0000 avivoca 1980576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I made mine, but be wary of the chalk markers. It took some serious elbow grease and a magic eraser to get that stuff off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980553 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:34:48 +0000 Mamaof2 1980553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: we used chalkboard paint on the door to the laundry room (kids love it) and it does clean up just as well as a regular chalk board!</p> <p>I use a wet rag once a week to get it really clean </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980543 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:30:43 +0000 loki 1980543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LindsayInNY: it does, i find a damp cloth helps! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980535 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:29:01 +0000 Irishmom 1980535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>AC Moore </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980527 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:25:23 +0000 looch 1980527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Marshalls, Homegoods, if you have time to browse, but i like the canvas idea with chalk paint to DIY. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-to-buy-blackchalk-board#post-1980517 Thu, 11 Dec 2014 13:22:21 +0000 LindsayInNY 1980517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Does chalkboard paint work as well?

I want a portable one or one to eventually hang on the wall but not too big. I have NO idea where to find it though! </p>
