Sadly...I've been informed that my addiction to Annie Sloan chalk paint is causing my husband to develop a complex about our bank account. So what's an ASCP addicted girl to do? Make my own chalk paint! See the full tutorial at http://www.paintyourfurniture.com/homemade-chalk-paint-recipe-plaster-of-paris/
1 – 8 ounce pot of paint (this is 1 cup),
2 1/2 tablespoons of Plaster of Paris, 2 tablespoons of cold water
The helpful guys at Home Depot will mix these little sample paints in any color you want. Seriously, at about $3 per paint pot, you can’t beat this.
It also dried super fast and when it did try it had the same chalky appearance that the other stuff had. Honestly, I just couldn’t tell much of a difference. I used one coat and then applied my finishing wax and it was pretty awesome.

Okay, now you did it. Now I'm going to have to try this for myself. Love being frugal. Thanks for sharing.
