Homemade Chalk Paint Recipe - Plaster of Paris
Hi Kathleen, this is how I like to do it.
Mix 1/3 cup of premixed drywall compound and 1/3 cup of cool water; stir until completely smooth. Mix that with 1 cup of latex paint and stir thoroughly. This will make enough chalk-finish paint for one coat on a six-drawer dresser. Chalk-finish paint should not be stored and reused.
