Chalkboard Lettering DIY

I was so excited when I found a tutorial on how to tansfer printed letters onto a chalkboard.  After attempting the tutorial and being successful I can't wait to keep trying other quotes or images now.  I was trying to use materials on hand and only had thick sidewalk chalk which made my letters look not as defined but there are chalk pen/markers that I am wanting to buy now for future chalk projects.

my finished project

Here is the blog with the tutorial that I used:

I skipped the step of going to kinkos to blow up the image like in the tutorial.  Instead I opened my image in photoshop and enlarged it to fit on four standard pieces of computer paper, printed them on four pieces of paper, then puzzled them together with tape to trace.  The possibilities are endless on what you can trace!  I can't wait to keep switching it up!
