Chalkboard Décor with the Silhouette Curio
In this video class we will use the Silhouette Curio machine and set it up to sketch directly onto a chalkboard. This can be done with the Silhouette Curio because it has a clearance of up to 5 mm (sometimes 6 mm).
We will create a chalkboard décor sign using a chalk marker directly in the Silhouette Curio. This class discusses the supplies that were tested and used in the class - see class supply list below. We will also discuss tips on what works and what may not.
This is a step-by-step class to complete this chalkboard décor sign in the Curio. Plus I've included 2 additional bonus videos with more tips at the end of the course!

Your Instructor
Welcome! My name is EllyMae and I am the owner and Instructor behind Silhouette Secrets+.
I have been in the cutting machine industry now for almost 20 years with experience in several different brands of machines and products. In 2016, after attending the TJC Licensed Instructor program, I started teaching Silhouette users how they can get to know their Silhouette Studio software and machines. I had no idea where this interest in Silhouette would take me.
I have taught Silhouette users all over the world through both in-person events and online. I have also become one of the top troubleshooters for Silhouette issues worldwide through my experience as an instructor. I am not just an instructor though, I am a craft machine user and I LOVE creating with all kinds of materials.
As an instructor I teach all levels of Silhouette classes for Portrait, Cameo, and Curio users. I love being able to share Silhouette with others!
I look forward to sharing the love of Silhouette with you all and welcome you on this journey!
