Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Step 1
Open up the picture frame and detach the sheet of glass.
Step 2
Use the folding rule to measure the sheet of glass.
Step 3
Transfer the dimensions to the backing paper using a pencil, adding a little extra allowance.
Step 4
Use a utility knife to cut the foil along a ruler.
Step 5
Peel off the backing paper from the chalkboard foil and apply it to the glass pane. To do so, position the adhesive foil, press it down with the palm of your hand and then smooth it down using the smoothing blade.

Reassemble the picture frame and attach it securely to the wall.
You did it!
