There is a product additive to use for this. Go into Michaels or any craft store and ask about it. They should have the product. I have also heard of people using chalk paint (not the kind for blackboards) but Anne Sloan or homemade chalk paint. If you want a recipe, I will give it to you, just let me know.

Thanks Kim, my senior mind did a dive when I was trying to think of what it was called.

I just posted a question about this same type of thing. I'm wondering which is more durable? Can't decide which to go with, acrylic or chalk paint, but I've heard if you use chalk paint you have to wax it when you're done to seal it. So don't forget that step if you end up using chalk paint. People have described the texture similar to leather. I've painted drapes with acrylic and textile medium and I thought it was pretty stiff when I was done.
