How do I make chalk paint?

The Garden Frog with C Renee on Aug 23, 2013there are many recipes out there. Plaster of Paris which is one of the ingredients is fairly cheap at Lowe's or Home Depot and if you already have paint then you are good to go. The recipe is : 3 cups paint, 1 cup Plaster of Paris, 1/4 cup water. You can save money with paint by visiting the mistinted sections at Lowe's and Home Depot too. I usually buy sample size paints or the mistinted paint for $2.50 pint or $5 a gallon (savings of $30 more or less). Many times there are some really wild colors but I have gotten many colors that were neutral or useable for my projects. good luck and have fun!Helpful Reply
