Love from India Becca I just don't know how many fans you have from India...but I suggest your work even for kids who are so curious to learn handlettering even I'm inspired a lot from you...
OMG!!! Just today someone asked me if I could write their menu on their new blackboard. Isn't it a serendipity or what??? Thank you sooo much, this is going to make my work much easier. I didn't know any of the tips but the sharpener one. Love you to the moon and back, Becca😁😘
Another helpful tip is for when you need to really clean your chalkboard : use a soft cloth or non scratch sponge, dampen it in vinegar and wipe away... repeat if necessary. At the end you will have a residue free, chalk free, streak free board
First time chalker here...this was beyond helpful! I am trying to make my own bridal shower chalkboard sign and I feel super confident I can do it. Thank you!!
Ok, love number 5 and yes mind blowing but oddly enough even being a teacher I never thought to sharpen my chalk. Duh... I feel both stupid and enlightened at the same time!!! Thank you!!!❤️
Making a shadow with an eraser! I was a painter so doing the chalk transfer was something we did with drawings. I never thought about using it with chalk. Great video, thanks.
3,4,& 5...👍🏻. I’ve used tip # 5 in other media, nice to see it work so well here; tip # 4... will dig out my quilt marking chalk pen 😎... ; tip #3... what a difference! Going to try it out now 😎😎 thanks for another fun video !
I’ve been a teacher since 1997 (when we still had chalkboards in our classrooms). I’ve used quite a few of these tips, but it was fabulous to have them confirmed by an artist!!! Number 5 I did not know at all!! I’mexcited to try it!!!
Becca you are so funny and I love how you explain everything. Regarding your question… I didn’t know any of these tips as have never done chalkboard, but always wondered when I saw them at shops… now I know 😘
You're such a good teacher! Tip 5 is fantastic--and it was brand new to me. I also didn't know about sharpening the chalk. Great idea! So there were two tips in your video that were new to me. Thank you, Becca.
Hey Becca tip №3 blew my mind. I didn't know about this before!! Also I love how natural you are in your photos instead of just editing things out you edit your mistakes in and I love that.
Wow, you just Blew my mind. Sharpening chalk...Who knew. I can't wait to try it. What an Awesome Idea. Thanks Becca, You never disappoint. Be well and have a great day.
Wow! Just wow! I knew about doing a transfer, to get an image onto your paper. Never in a million years would I have thought to do it with chalk. And - you can sharpen chalk, without breaking it? Wow! This is such amazing fun, thank you so much for sharing.
I learned about seasoning the board and sharpening the chalk from Mabz' class during workshop week this year, but I didn't know about the eraser shadows or transferring the chalk - great ideas!
I did not know any of these! You are an excellent instructor and I enjoy all your tutorials, many of your classes, and your entertaining emails! Keep up your good work.
Mind blowing tips...didn't know any. My favorite one I think was the eraser making shadows. Also I'm heading out for some supplies. I want the white mechanical pencil. Love the help Becca.
Chalk transfer is amazing! Thank you and I think you are super funny! People are set at ease when they can laugh,especially they are intimidated (like me) ha,
The tip I didnt know about was the eraser! Never thought of putting a shadow so clever and I also had no idea about the seasoning the board, that'll make it much easier 😁
Thank you! I love your video. I have not ever did chalk calligraphy but I am an artist so I was interested in learning more about chalk. I didn't know any of the tips.
Hi Becca! Love love love all of your tips! I don’t know if this question really applies to this but.. how can you prevent ghosting when using a chalk marker/pen? I season every board but when it comes time to take off the marker-it always shows up! No matter how I clean it off!! If you know/could show us a quick tip video of this you would be a life saver! (I end up having to re-paint them with chalk paint to get a clean background... sooo time consuming) Thanks for all you do! I love learning new things from you-so easy to follow.. and I feel like we’re friends bc you mess up and laugh about it. Keep it up girl!
I recently learned about the transfer technique because I had a hard logo with some serifs that were tricky. I searched on youtube and couldn't find it within your videos but found it elsewhere. The eraser technique I never knew about and duh sharpening chalk would be a game changer! Nice tip! I love your videos and how you're completely down to earth.
3. 4. & 5. ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! THANK YOU SO MUCH!! #5 especially, that is genius,. I look up tips and tricks all the time and this is hands down the best. I'm never going to tell unless I get caught in the process. 😂 THANK you again, you are the best. P.s. the spit on the board was so funny bc I have done the same...oopsies 😅
Thank you so much. I didn’t know about using a rubber for shadows! Awesome 👏 I just love your channel keep em coming please! God bless & much love from me 🙏🏼♥️
All your tips are so helpful, Becca, but it was fun to learn how to create finer details with the chalk pencils! Yes, I too would like to know why you save the chalk dust when you sharpen ;your chalk?? THANK YOU for your wonderfully shared tips! ~Sandie
Yes! Exactly what I needed. I'll be doing chalk for the first time for my own signs as a vendor! I didn't know #3 and #5 and my mouth was wide open. Especially when you said to transfer the logo, cause that's what I wanted to do and this is going to save me so much time just like you said. Thank you so much! Love this video! It made me laugh and smile and I learned.
Didn't know about sharpening chalk! And I made the inside of our garage door a whole chalk board to keep up with my son's work schedule or whether he did this or that. It has been very handy.
the only tip I did know was "seasoning" my chalk board. I love these tips, thank you for taking the time to share. I painted, using chalkboard paint, 2 of the storage doors on the outside of my camper, so my Grandson can make his masterpieces for me, but now I want to play on them myself :D
Thanks Becca! Always love your videos and learn so much. Not only that but you always crack me up by being so real...‘I just spat on my chalkboard’ 🤣🤣.
Thanks so much for this ! This video was super informative (chalk transfer, genius !) and so funny...it really shows that you were having fun there too.
I did not know about sharpening the chalk (why didn't I think of that!), or about using an eraser for shadows, or about the transfering (even though I do this all the time when I'm drawing with pencil!). Thanks for the tips!!
I feel like I have heard several mentioned briefly on other videos you have done...thank you!! But #3 using your eraser to make shadows was new and it is brilliant.
The chalk transfer was interesting. If you want your chalk to stay on the menu board longer, I wet it and it shows up more vibrantly. Especially coloured chalk.
I did not know about the pencil eraser or #5... I have tried and wanted to do chalk designs and every time Ive tried...it's a huge mess. Thank you for these extremely helpful tips. Now I know what Ill be doing today!!! Thank you!!!
I just stumbled on this video today and was so excited! I didn't know about tip # 5. So cool! I knew about#1 but didn't know why I should do it. Now I will do that. Thank you, love your tutorials😊
. Hey Becca, More great tips, thanks!! I didn't know tips 1.2.3.or 4. You did share no:5 in one of the calligraphy tutorials - how to write on a window or mirror. Which I did try with good success for a first go
I haven't seen the tip about the pencil eraser and it is my favorite tip! I make my own repurposed frame chalkboard for my vendor spot and I like to have words on them when I take them to my shop to sell. I will def use your tips!!
Love from India Becca I just don't know how many fans you have from India...but I suggest your work even for kids who are so curious to learn handlettering even I'm inspired a lot from you...
I'm also from India!
I am also from India
The bonus tip was my favorite.... Spit on your challboard. I never would have thought of that! 🤣🤣🤣
My favorite was the shadows tip
I've never know all 5 tips before. Game changer!!
OMG!!! Just today someone asked me if I could write their menu on their new blackboard. Isn't it a serendipity or what??? Thank you sooo much, this is going to make my work much easier. I didn't know any of the tips but the sharpener one. Love you to the moon and back, Becca😁😘
Another helpful tip is for when you need to really clean your chalkboard : use a soft cloth or non scratch sponge, dampen it in vinegar and wipe away... repeat if necessary. At the end you will have a residue free, chalk free, streak free board
I knew none of the tips you just shared, all of them are game-changing ideas. thanks!!!!
I love how comfortable you are getting making videos and being yourself. Also great tips! I can't believe I've never thought of sharpening my chalk.
Me too
I agree
Becca, love how you teach- simple and to the point, step by step. I loved Tip #1: seasoning the chalk board.

Sharpening and the eraser shadows are amazing! Thank you!!
I have never seen the trick to transfer your work to the chalk board. I love it!!!

All of the tips were great and eye openers. The one that I was like duhhh was sharpening the chalk. 👏👏👏👏👏

I didn't know about sharpening chalk, seasoning the chalkboard OR chalk transfer. Hugely helpful!

The pencil eraser tip is life changing ❤ I am familiar w the other tips and using a pounce wheel to transfer designs. Each tip is very helpful.
Didn't know about sharpening chalk! And I made the inside of our garage door a whole chalk board to keep up with my son's work schedule or whether he did this or that. It has been very handy.
all of them! I've used the last time with pencil and ink but not chalk. Brilliant!
My favourite is the pencil eraser to make shadows. Thanks for all the tricks.
I've never done chalk calligraphy so I didn't know any of them. Now I can't wait to try all of them. Thanks, and I love your videos!
Mind blowing !All of these tips were unknown for me!Thx a lot❤
the only tip I did know was "seasoning" my chalk board. I love these tips, thank you for taking the time to share. I painted, using chalkboard paint, 2 of the storage doors on the outside of my camper, so my Grandson can make his masterpieces for me, but now I want to play on them myself :D
Thanks Becca! Always love your videos and learn so much. Not only that but you always crack me up by being so real...‘I just spat on my chalkboard’ 🤣🤣.
Using an eraser for creating a shadow is exciting to me! I’ll be doing that! Great video - I feel like you’re teaching a friend! 🌸
I never realized the board needed seasoning. Love watching your videos :)
This was a great refresher. Step #5 I didn’t even think about for chalk board!
Great tips! I didn’t know that I could transfer a logo before as easily! Thank you
The only tip I knew about was to season the chalkboard. Thanks SO much for this great video!!!!
The only one I DID know was how to season a chalkboard. Loved the eraser and transfer tips!
I did not know any of these tips! You always make everything look so easy!
And by the way, I loved the blooper!
Sharpening the chalk. Brilliant tip 😊
I never thought of sharpening chalk in my pencil sharpener. great idea.
Excellent! You blew my mind from the first tip onward!
Thanks so much for this ! This video was super informative (chalk transfer, genius !) and so funny...it really shows that you were having fun there too.
So........ how do you “use” the dust from the sharpener?
If you erase a spot and there isn't any dust there anymore but need to add it back! :)
I did not know about sharpening the chalk (why didn't I think of that!), or about using an eraser for shadows, or about the transfering (even though I do this all the time when I'm drawing with pencil!). Thanks for the tips!!
Seasoning the chalkboard and using the rubber for shadowing was new for me. Thanks as always for the tips 😀
I feel like I have heard several mentioned briefly on other videos you have done...thank you!! But #3 using your eraser to make shadows was new and it is brilliant.
Such great tips. Didn't know any of them! Thank you for another great video Becca!
#3, 4, & 5! LOVE your teaching style. 🙂
The chalk transfer was interesting. If you want your chalk to stay on the menu board longer, I wet it and it shows up more vibrantly. Especially coloured chalk.
You wet the chalk, or the board? 🤔
I did not know about the pencil eraser or #5... I have tried and wanted to do chalk designs and every time Ive tried...it's a huge mess.
Thank you for these extremely helpful tips. Now I know what Ill be doing today!!!
Thank you!!!
I just stumbled on this video today and was so excited! I didn't know about tip # 5. So cool! I knew about#1 but didn't know why I should do it. Now I will do that. Thank you, love your tutorials😊
Thanks so much, Becca. I only knew about sharpening the chalk.
I didn't know the chalk transfer and the seasoning your board tips
Thank you so much for making this video
Tip #2 and # 5 was the two tips I learned today. Thanks, Becca!
.
Hey Becca, More great tips, thanks!! I didn't know tips 1.2.3.or 4. You did share no:5 in one of the calligraphy tutorials - how to write on a window or mirror. Which I did try with good success for a first go
I enjoy watching your videos. I never knew to sharpen my chalk!
#4 is the only one I already knew . Thanks Becca, our chalk board at the club is gonna be so much cuter now!!
Mind blowing. Didn't know any of these tricks!!
I’m new to chalkboard art. I’m preparing a sign so EVERY tip was very helpful. Thank you 🦋
I didn't know about the eraser! So cool!!
I haven't seen the tip about the pencil eraser and it is my favorite tip! I make my own repurposed frame chalkboard for my vendor spot and I like to have words on them when I take them to my shop to sell. I will def use your tips!!
