Desktop chalkboard

First I cut the shape I wanted out of Contact Paper.  Then carefully I placed it in a position I hoped was centered on the desktop.

 Next I painted Chalkboard paint on it, about 3 coats.  My brush was small ;( took some time.  I tried to be careful along the edges as to not push the paint under the contact paper.  I waited about 3 hours before I took the contact paper off. 

More pictures to come, I will be sanding it a little and putting some stain on it.
