I'd like to create my own tabletop chalkboard for my first soap show in four years. I found in my stash a lap serving tray with legs that fold and will convert that into a tabletop display sign-It's made of that funny Luwan (?) wood and on the serving side it has a shiny wipe-able finish on the other. That is the side I will be using for the chalkboard....

My question is what's best? Chalkboard paint or Chalkboard Contact paper? It's not like I am going to be using this more than once so I don't want to spend a lot and I've never worked with chalkboard paint before.

What would be best? Also....Chalkboard pens? or Chalk?

Thanks so much!!

Melody

Melody,
I've never used the contact paper but I have used the paint. I made signs for writing prices on them for my aprons sales at Farmers Market.
I used pastel colored chalk and it worked fine!
