How to Make Chalk Paint {Tutorial}

I started making myown chalk paint about a little over a year ago and it has seriously made mylife easier. As a DIYaholic I am always re-painting something and as most ofyou know when it comes to re-finishing a piece of furniture it's aprocess....Well, guess what? Chalk paint eliminates all of the dreadedpre-painting steps (no sanding, striping or priming) all you do is paint. Tellme that doesn't sound GREAT!! :-)
Instead ofbuying chalk paint (it's pretty expensive and has a limited color selection) Imake my own. The recipe I use is extremely easy and works Fabulously!!
So if youare a DIYaholic like me and have yet to use chalk paint, you absolutely MUSTtry it!! I promise it will forever change the way you DIY!!

    I have a dumb question...can you use chalk paint over old oil base paint without sanding and priming it? It is a wood cabinet that is about 40 years old but I know the man who built it used oil based paint. Thanks for your help!

    Do you have to seal it with wax? Can you seal with polyurethane?
