You will often see all three types used in conjunction in pubs and restaurants as they complement each other to add an overall inviting sense of comfort. The main types of chalkboard we sell are wall mounted, countertop and pavement sign. We will state on the product page if a certain type is not suitable for a particular board.

You can learn how right here.Our range of wall mounted, counter standing and pavement sign chalkboards have been curated to ensure as many environments and size requirements as possible are covered. There are so many different styles you can try out … I use a technique I affectionately call fake calligraphy. If you love the look of regular chalk but want a thinner line, go with the mechanical chalk pencil. It works well for larger words/images, but it’s hard to get a nice fine point. To tell you the truth, this is what I use the majority of the time just because it is easy and I keep a stick in our kitchen junk drawer. This one takes a bit of effort to remove – especially on textured walls painted with chalkboard paint (lesson learned the hard way when Ryan and I had a brainstorming session all over the chalkboard wall in my office and they only way to fully erase it was to repaint it).ĬHALK OPTION FOUR: regular chalk ( available here) It does not have the beloved chalky look, but it is very easy to write with. The chalk marker is a great option if you want bold and smooth letters that won’t be smudged. Allows you to write neatly on a chalkboard.ĬHALK OPTION THREE: chalk marker ( available here) If you are going for a bolder look, it will take a bit more filling in than regular-size chalk.

The chalk is very skinny which makes for clean lines. My favorite of all the options, this red cartridge with refillable chalk is also meant for sewing, but it works perfectly on a chalkboard surface. It does require a damp cloth to remove and may leave a faint line on your chalkboard from the oil in the pencil.ĬHALK TYPE TWO: mechanical chalk pencil ( available here) The chalk does not smudge which makes it nice when doing small details. They are not intended for chalkboard use, but from my experience, they work well. These pencils are used for sewing – making little marks on fabric for seam allowances or appliques and can be removed from fabric with a damp cloth. That’s what I get for trying to do this and occupy four kids and a puppy at the same time)ĬHALK TYPE ONE: chalk pencil by Fons and Porter ( available here) You can see the difference in tip size for each of the chalk options … which obviously makes a big difference in the width you will get in your lettering. In this post I’ll outline each option and share what I use to write fancy lettering and calligraphy on my own chalkboard. Until I discovered a few new options for writing with chalk. Whether a framed diy chalkboard or an entire painted wall, it’s one of the simplest and least expensive ways to add a pop of graphic style to your home.īut have you ever tried to write on your own chalkboard and couldn’t quite get your lettering to look crisp? Me too.
