Homemade Chalk paint experiment
by
Mary Insana
(IC: homeowner)
I went to buy plaster to make my own chalk paint. Since I am an impatient and WalMart didn't have plaster i bought a tub a premixed patching plaster. I just came home and added my paint and some water and painted an old board I had in the garage, i didn't want to paint anything important in case it doesn't work.
Enjoyed the project?

Ginger Robinson on Sep 21, 2015I have been making my own chalk paint from the beginning. My favorite is the calcium carbonate and latex paint. And after that it is the plaster of paris & paint. The best thing is that I just buy the sample paints for a couple of dollars and add the calcium carbonate and can paint the furniture, distress it and wax it for pretty cheap. The hardest thing anymore is finding a piece of furniture that someone is charging a lot more then they should because they so many of us out here are looking for things like that.
