How do I make my own chalk paint?

There are so many different recipes out there but the one I use is in my blog post for a dresser makeover that I did.

I make a paste out of plaster or paris and water, and then add paint. The results are the perfect chalk paint with great coverage. I don't use exact measurements. If it's too thick, add more paint.

There are many methods, but my favorite is a mixture of 2 parts latex paint (I prefer satin) to 1 part calcium carbonate (chalk).

2 Parts Paint

To

1 Part Calcium Carbonate

Step 1: Measure Calcium Carbonate and Paint. Use separate cups.

Step 2: Dilute Calcium Carbonate in Warm Water. Slowly add water to calcium carbonate until it is completely diluted. Don't add too much water.

Step 3: Once diluted, pour diluted calcium carbonate into paint and stir for 3 to 5 minutes.

Below is a link to the calcium carbonate and to my blog post where I use this recipe on a project.
